A lot of you have been asking me about an easy way to paint your furniture. and to me that means two things: no sanding. No priming. Am I right?
So here it it! (Drum roll please): Ta-daaaa : I present to you the one and only chalk paint!
Chalk paint is the heaven of paints for do-it-yourselfers.
It doesn't require sanding. Or priming. Heaven. Right? Riiiight! I told ya!
There are several simple recipes to make your own chalk paint. Easy and fast. But this is my favorite and the one I looove to use in all my decor projects. For me or my clients. This is so simple to make with only a few ingredients. I even use it in glass!
Chalk paint is a fab oportunity to use leftover paint from other projects or paint samples. There are several ways to make your own paint with a chalk finish. Plaster of Paris will give you that finish that is close to the original.
• 1/3 cup of Plaster of Paris
• 1/3 cup of water. Stir the mixture until it's completely smooth. (Or with a bit of lumps to add a bit of texture if you like)
• Mix the plaster and water with one cup of acrylic paint. Stir .
• Apply the paint with a paint brush. Or a roll.
Et voilá!
