DIY Chalk Paint [Only TWO Ingredients]!


I have been wanting to make chalk paint for a while, and I just kept putting it off.  Now, I don't know why; it's so simple!

I gathered my TWO ingredients and made myself a chalk board.

My "board" is an old window from a shed
that was torn down in our back yard.

I sanded it down.

I spray-painted the sides.

Thank you! Pink is my favorite and it brightens up the room so much more than black would!

Thanks, Kathi!  It looks so great in our bedroom/craft room with the yellow shelves I'm currently working on :)
I have been planning to try this for the longest time and never seem to do it. Such a quick and easy project, I will have to actually make it happen. Love the old window.

​Same here, ​Kimberly!  After I finished, I wondered what took me so long.  And, the window was a complete accident.  I had it sitting out with the trash and last minute asked my husband to grab it before the garbage truck took it.  I am so glad he did!
