Chalk paint that will spark your creativity in decorating everyday objects or in creating new ones from MDF, wood, papier-mâché, and cardboard.
Visitors to this section are undoubtedly fans of the "make old things new again" approach and are surely curious about what CHALK PAINT is. Do not confuse it with "blackboard" effect paint. Chalk paint is a decorative paint created about 30 years ago by British artist Annie Sloan in response to her inner need. The paint is known for its matte, velvety appearance and is a popular choice for giving furniture and decor an aged or shabby chic effect. It’s perfect for those of you who want to add character and vintage charm to your home. If you’re ready to "cure" old chairs and tables, a coat rack or chest of drawers, or want to turn an item into a jewel - a decorative element of your home, then delve into the pleasant soft colors of chalk paint, choose a few, grab a brush, and immerse yourself in the magical world of creating "something new from something old." There’s no need for preliminary preparation of the surfaces – the only requirement is that they be dry and free of grease stains. Leave the old paint, just remove any large flakes of varnish if present. At a certain stage, you can reveal the old paint by using sandpaper, after the chalk paint layer has thoroughly dried. To the delight of every creator, it dries quickly, does not drip, and does not form droplets. So, in a short time, you can see the final result of your work and enjoy what you have created. Chalk paint can be used not only on furniture but also on various items from your home that have bored you in their current form. Or on new ones – in different sections of our website, you can find all sorts of items made of wood, MDF, papier-mâché, styrofoam, plastic, and more. This type of paint combines exceptionally well with various metallic effect paints, which you can explore in the Art Materials section. This way, you will make each item both velvety soft and at the same time shiny as a jewel. Use different types of structural pastes, stencils, and hardware, the variety of which you can also find on our site. For the finishing coat, use natural wax or varnish – explore the Structural Pastes and Waxes subgroup in the Art Materials section. Experiment with materials and your imagination.
