CHALKBOARD PAINT ~ make your own with this super simple and inexpenisive recipe!



Very inexpensive only requires two ingredients:

1.) Flat-finish latex paint.
2.) Non-Sanded Tile Grout which can be found at like Home Depot that is like only $4 dollars.

Simply mix 1 cup of paint and 2 Tablespoons of grout ! You can also use any color of paint. Some people also say any type of paint. Paint for plastics or acrylic paint or house paint. How fun is that? There are so many possibilities that price is now no longer a factor!

Did you notice the source underneath the above photo? PINTEREST .... Have you all heard about this site ?

FREAKING FANTASTIC for anyone who relishes an easy way sharing ideas, diy home projects, crafts and recipes! It's an online site where you create your own bulletin boards and pin idea notes, photos and or videos of literally anything! There are a gazillion possibilities because the site lets people pin a photo/videos & dialogy box for descriptions about it from ANYWHERE on the internet!

Makes searching for ideas so much simpler because you can categorized your bulletin boards... like Foodie or Recipes... or My closet dreams... or Gardening Tips...Bucket List... Holiday Travel Ideas or whatever!

Pinterest is basically a stand alone site seperate from facebook, but you can use your facebook contact list to invite other friends... that's why it asks you "to allow access" to your facebook account. For those of your family or friends who don't have facebook tell them not to worry as they can still do Pinterest as long as they have an email address they can go directly to http://pinterest.com/landing/
