~All Things Altered Blog Hop~

Good morning my crafty friends!!

Welcome to the "All Things Altered Blog Hop"!!

My friend Pam asked me to join her blog hop and it's so much fun.

Many prizes along the way.....you should have arrived from Pam's

blog http://www.pammejo-scrapbookflair.blogspot.com

For this blog hop I made a chalkboard from a old frame and the paint

of my choice. (recipe below).

I used vintage lace, twine, a Purple Cows punch, pearl pens, paint

unsanded tile grout, old frame, and a small board.

I actually began the chalkboard at a Pinterest Party, then my friend

Melody brought it home for me so I could finish it off.

Here is the homemade chalkboard paint recipe:

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.

4. To condition: Rub the side of a piece of chalk over entire surface. Wipe away residue with a barely damp sponge.

Ok on to the next blog....
