3 Ingredient Chalkboard Paint

I love chalkboard paint projects, they look so pretty and versatile! I think this is a must if you have kids at home and the best part is that it is very easy to make and doesn't use weird ingredients.

What You'll Need

1/2 cup of black paint

1 1/2 tablespoons of unsanded grout

1 tablespoon of water

1 can for mixing and keeping the paint

1 disposable spoon or stick

Black Paint

Pour 1/2 cup of black paint in the can. I made this amount of paint because I just had small projects but if you're going to paint something bigger you can just multiply the ingredients.

Unsanded Grout

Put 1 1/2 tablespoons of the unsanded grout in the paint. Try to feel it first with your fingers to avoid big rocks. If it's not too fine you can use a strainer to make it thinner.

Water

Add the water. It doesn't have to be a specific temperature of water, just lukewarm.

Mix

Use the spoon or stick to stir it and mix everything to get a smooth texture.

Store

Put the lid on your can or use right away. As it is thicker than a normal paint I recommend to store it for one month maximum for a better result.

Now let your creativity flow and use this in all the projects that come to your mind.

Happy crafty time!
