DIY How To Make Your Own Chalk Paint by Vintage

DIY Make Your Own Chalk Paint

If you love the vintage, soft, matte look and feel of chalk paint, but don’t love the price, then consider making your own homemade DIY chalk paint.

Instructions: Make your own chalk paint

Fill up to two-thirds (2/3) of an empty quart can with latex paint.
In a separate bowl mix 12 tbsp (3/4 cup) of Calcium Carbonate powder and 1/2 tbsp of Talcum powder.
- The more Calcium Carbonate you add the more chalky the paint will become.
- You can add or subtract Calcium Carbonate depending on your personal preference.
Slowly add hot water and mix until you have a consistency similar to ranch dressing.
Add the Calcium Carbonate and Talcum mix to the quart can.
Top off the quart can with just a little more paint.
Stir and you’re now ready to paint with your homemade DIY chalk paint.
