Make your own chalk paint

Chalk paint is all the rage these days!  It is fun, covers well, and helps everyone make those adorable homemade chalkboards.  And now you can make this awesome paint from home with paints you already have and it is super easy.  There are different recipes all over the web, but we tested this one out and we loved it!  All you need is 1 tablespoon of unsanded grout, 1/2 cup acrylic or latex paint, a mixing cup, and spoon.  We recommend using a mason jar because the measurement for the paint is on the jar and it seals it nicely!   Adjust grout as needed for thickness and don't be afraid to mix your own colors!  Just measure, mix, and paint! 

And remember chalk paint is great for covering furniture as well!  It's not just for chalkboards!
