Chalk paint

Has anyone had a go at making their own chalk paint? If so, what recipe & how did it turn out? Thanks

If you have a look at the shabby chic forum, there will either be a recipe or someone will be able to help.

The forum is in old style.

I have, I used plaster of paris mixed into emulsion. CaCant remember the the exact amounts though. Got very good results, excellent coverage and easy to use.

Hi, thanks for replies. Does it matter what sort of emulsion? I'm thinking it's got to be Mat right?

Yes I used matt. Other recipes available on pinterest too. I just went with the quickest/easiest.
