Visitors to this section are undoubtedly fans of making old things look new again and are surely curious about what CHALK PAINT is. Don’t 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 ideal 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 look into the pleasant soft colors of chalk paint, pick a few, grab a brush, and dive into the magical world of creating "something new from something old." There’s no need for surface preparation – the only requirement is that they be dry and clean 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 sanding after the chalk paint layer has dried well. To every creator’s delight, it dries quickly, does not drip, and does not form droplets. So, in a short time, you can see the final result of your labor and enjoy what you’ve created. Chalk paint can be used not just on furniture but on various home items 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 simultaneously shiny as a jewel. Use different types of structural pastes, stencils, and fittings, the variety of which you can also find on our site.
