I usually add a little at a time until I find a nice, smooth consistency. Add water to the Plaster of Paris and stir until smooth. Add one part of Plaster of Paris to a container (I like to use a clear container to make measuring/mixing easier).Ģ. You can use a sifter or break them up with a chopstick or utensil. First, remove lumps from the Plaster of Paris. Think you can handle that? Of course you can! Here’s the directions for mixing it up!ġ. So that’s when the DIYer in me comes out and I mix up my own. It’s a great paint, there’s entire devoted fan groups of this brand! However, it’s cost-prohibitive for many people, hard to get, and doesn’t come in the shades I need. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, there is a name brand paint with ‘chalk’ in the title. 😉 With your homemade chalk-like paint you can makeover that old thrift store dresser, oddly colored chair, or bachelor nightstand you always hated– they sky is the limit! And the recipe requires only three ingredients, two of which I can almost guarantee you already have on hand. This type of furniture paint requires NO furniture prep, hides a multitude of painting sins, and can be customized to whatever paint color your little heart desires. That’s before I discovered the wonders of chalk-like paint, the same one that sells retail for lots o’ money but can be made at home for pennies on the dollar. Furniture painting always seemed daunting to me– there’s the prep, the sanding, the filling, the painting, the repainting, the coating– YIKES! Too time consuming for me, thanks.
