I am loving these custom chalk board colors! I know many wonderful tutorials are out there, but I thought I share what I did for a friend of mine.
You will need:
white un-sanded grout
The acrylic paint of your choice
Matte medium for acrylic paint
Acrylic paint
Drying retardant
Jar with lid 8oz
Large wood “Popsicle” stick for mixing
Sponge brush
INSTRUCTIONS
•In the 8oz jar, Mix the paint with a few drops of the retardant, matte medium and a about two tablespoons of the un-sanded grout.
•Use the large wooden stick to mix thoroughly. Make sure there are no lumps in the mixture. The mixture will be thick.
•Use the sponge brush to smooth the mixture onto the surface. Use the brush to mix any remaining grout lumps. Let surface dry for about two hours.
•Use a white chalk to write or ‘cure’ the surface, and erase with a dry sponge.
Enjoy!!!
