We love using chalkboards as backdrops for displays and parties, so we were super excited to learn that you can create your own custom colors-and it’s really easy!
We first learned how from Martha Stewart whose tutorial you can read here. She recommends that you use latex paint, but we tried it out with acrylic paints with much success. Here’s how you too can create your own chalkboard paint…
Supplies:
-1/2 cup acrylic paint (choose any color you like, or mix colors together to make the perfect shade!)
-1 tablespoon unsanded grout
-mixing cup or bowl
-spoon
-paint brush
1. Measure out your paint and grout. The unsanded grout is a fine powder so be sure to work in a well ventilated area.
2. Stir the grout into the paint until no lumps remain.
3. Paint your surface with your new custom chalkboard paint! The paint will begin to harden once it is mixed, so only mix what you need at one time as it won’t store as well as other paints.
WOW you are share a such a very good thing. I learn many thing form here.
The sophisticated post helps them to figure out how easy it’s work. The content is worth reading for beyond any doubt. Thanks for sharing the good resources.
This technique is really awesome, and playing with color which is really nice. And here people can see lots of things about painting. And for kids color things are works in a very well way. So this idea is really nice to learn different thing in a different way.
A great hobby to have is to paint. You don’t need formal art training to take on painting as a hobby. If you don’t employ chalk pens, in which case you have zero dust – and covering a wall in chalkboard paint doesn’t look that a lot harder than whiteboard fabric – presuming that you intend the paint-on stuff.
It’s a wonderful article that you have written. Like and appreciate your article. Keep it up.
This chalkboard will be a great tool to educate kids. This will attract them on class easily 🙂
Thanks for helping, love your article.

Awesome post and I like most of your designs. Thanks for sharing.
Unless you use chalk pens, in which case you have no dust – and covering a wall in chalkboard paint doesn’t seem that much more difficult than whiteboard material – assuming you mean the paint-on stuff. If you’re talking about just hanging a whiteboard or an adhesive whiteboard, then sure – but that’s a whole different kind of solution.
Wonderful job you have done . Really interesting . Like and appreciate this well post , thanks . Keep up continue .
