Homemade chalk paint!


Chalk paint. We all cause got heard of it. I promise you have. Here's 1 that I withdraw heed nearly the most. Annie Sloan's Chalk Paint. Very pricey but worth it! But let's human face upwards it... I don't cause got a project correct straightaway in addition to we're on a budget! SO.... I've been researching the internet, other blogs in addition to google in addition to decided to build my ain homemade chalk paint! Here's how I did it!


I started off past times taking a trip to Lowe's to larn the following:

Un-sanded Grout (Color White inwards tile section) I bought a small-scale $5 bucket. Any brand, size!
Flat Paint (Check your mistinted pigment sections!) Any build in addition to color, whatever size too!
Mixing Utensil- I bought stole a stirring stick from Lowe's pigment department
Bowl- to mix your pigment in
Paint brushes- brushes, sponges, etc. Whatever you prefer!

I started icon a few days weeks ago with my homemade chalk pigment in addition to was a niggling taken dorsum past times the consistency. I added almost iii tbsp of un-sanded grout to my 1 loving cup of white apartment paint. It thickened amongst fourth dimension in addition to then hold upwards certain to mix good in addition to facial expression nearly v minutes to allow it thicken. Mix in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than earlier use.

I wanted a actually shabby complete to the slice in addition to I LOVE how it turned out! I ended upwards icon two coats of this homemade chalk pigment on my slice of article of furniture in addition to that's it. It required niggling to no prep work. I lightly sanded my slice of article of furniture every bit usual. I did NOT prime number the slice first. And I am amazed at the results! All I had to produce later the two coats of my homemade chalk pigment was seal  the slice amongst my favorite poly, MinWax's Poly H2O based.

Here's the terminal result!


I know it's a bad icon demonstrate but it's 12:15 p.m. hither inwards Florida. Don't enquire me why I'm icon this late... I simply larn a outburst of loose energy sometimes. But you tin actually country inwards the photograph how thick in addition to dandy of a complete it has. I simply can't rave nearly it enough. The niggling hole to the correct is where the hardware is supposed to go. It was bothering me too.
