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.

    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?
