Martha Stewarts has come up with a homemade formula for making your own chalkboard paint, granted it may take longer to apply than a ready made black paint, but it'll be colourful!! :) I thought I'd share the recipe for anyone else interested.
She says:
Start with flat-finish latex paint in any shade. For small areas, such as a door panel, mix 1 cup at a time.
1. Pour 1 cup of paint into a container. Add 2 tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. Mix with a paint stirrer, carefully breaking up clumps.
2. Apply paint with a roller or a sponge paintbrush to a primed or painted surface. Work in small sections, going over the same spot several times to ensure full, even coverage. Let dry.
3. Smooth area with 150-grit sandpaper, and wipe off dust.
