Hey Delia Creates friends! I’m Kirstin from kojodesigns, and I’m thrilled to be blog swapping with Delia today as part of Color Your Summer 3. how ot make a mint colored (or any colored) chalkboard

I have to confess, I love the colorful chalkboards that have been popping up everywhere. And isn’t this mint green colored chalkboard perfect for Color Your Summer?

Best of all, it was easy enough to make that I now have plans for a whole rainbow of colored chalkboards. how to make colored chalkboard paintTo make one, just collect an old painting with an awesome vintage frame.

Then mix together 1 cup any color paint (I’m partial to mint) and 2 tablespoons of unsanded grout.
Mix well.
Paint the back of the painting with your paint-and-grout mixture.
Flip the painting around so that the chalkboard is facing forward.

  4. I need to ask a question…why did you use the mint green paint on the back-side of the painting? why not just paint over the front?

    I have never done this is why I am asking! thanks!
