A new series for DIY craftsmen, in which I will tell you about four recipes for Chalk Paint DIY. Chalk paint gives the surface an antique look due to its texture and deep matte color. You can paint almost everything with chalk paint: wood and metal, plastic and glass. Chalk paint is the best solution if you need to quickly paint old furniture or age new furniture. With each recipe, I will show you not only how chalk paint will look on furniture, but also offer you a small creative project for creating interior decor items in the style of Shabby Chic, Provence and Primitive Country. From the first episode, you will learn basic information about chalk paint, why it is better than regular acrylic or latex paints, how to prepare a varnished surface for painting with chalk paint, how to apply chalk paint and what brushes to use. I will tell you about the general rules for using chalk paint. As usual, the first episode is dedicated to the first and best recipe for chalk paint based on calcium carbonate, aka calcium carbonate. Find out why calcium carbonate chalk paint is the best of all the homemade chalk paints. With the first chalk paint recipe, I'll make a distressed Shabby Chic candlestick from a new wooden candlestick, and then distress it to Primitive style.
