I'm a new subscriber after seeing this posting! Question...does this recipe work like chalk paint? Can you distress and use colored waxes for effects? Is this something that you've tried? Either way, I am going to definitely be trying out this recipe. Thank you so much 👍
Traditionally, chalkboard chalk was made from calcium carbonate. Today, most is made up mostly of gypsum, so it probably wouldn't work the same. Great info and we are going to try this!
I started painting when I was 14 for a construction company. Back in the old days..lol. When we painted cabinets this is the recipe that the old painter gave me and I have used it for many years. He used athletic field marking chalk he got at the sports store or ace. Long before Annie was a thing. That stuff was solid as a rock. I use this on all my furniture I flip and sell and paint for a living, so yes, I can totally verify this is a tried and true method. I am so glad you shared this. It saves tons of money and I've never been happier with a finish. I've tried some of the name brands and they are good, but im thrifty and I can make gallons compared to small containers price wise. I've used this with all sheens of paint and brands, because I'm an oops user too! Thanks for sharing. You rock!!
thank you for sharing knowledge...it seems to me so ridiculous to pay 35 dollars for a quarter of paint just because is chalk paint or mineral paint...come on...right?
Lowes sells a clear primer called Kilz Klear, that would work great for the darker colored paints. Thanks for experimenting with the formula so we don’t have to!
As a kid, about 50 years ago, lived in a new development where there was continual building of houses going on. We would take the scrap sheet rock out of the trash piles, peel off the paper and use it for ALL the art supplies - chunks for sidewalk chalk, or crushed and mixed it with lots of water for a thick white paint or just a bit of water for “clay” . Lots of good memories! And hopefully nothing toxic in it.
This is the best concoction!!! I have been refinishing furniture for 5 years and decided when we refinished our bedroom set I wanted something easy to work with and not a ton of steps bc we just didn’t have time for multiple processes and wait times. This is truly amazing and streak free!!
I have so many things I ‘want’ to do and have held off because I simply don’t have the disposable income for the paint & supplies I need. This I think I can do money wise. I’m going to give it a “go”! Thank you so much! Everyone wish me luck I may make a ton of mistakes and my first makeover may be tacky, but it will make a world of difference in my senior lifestyle if I can conquer this! Again thank you all.
Great video with amazing information, thank you! If you buy your paint from Home Depot and possibly Lowes, ask for a duplicate label of your paint (they can scan the little round custom paint label as long as the bar code is fully visible). Then you can put the duplicate label on the bottom of your "1 step paint" jar in case you need more. I always suggest that my customers put these on the back of switch plates, sides of cabinet drawers, etc for future reference.
Very inspirational! It's folks like you that make me jump up off the couch & say "Yes! I want to do that!" And then run out to get all the supplies. Unfortunately, many times they sit in the garage, until the next inspirational video or until I find the right piece. But it does happen - eventually! But now I know I CAN use that old paint. Thanks for all you do! 😃
yes she is one of the kind...trust me when i say...there are a bunch of 'paint flippers" in utube that are so full of themselves and think they know all the tricks (LOLOL) but they copy one another and when one reach out to give them a tip or two (by experience) some reply that the tip is not welcome because they do not asked for it...or something on that line...I just laugh because they want to be "smart" but they work harder and they are unwilling to humble themselves and accept advice for a pro...funny isn't?
@@lolitabonita08 It's so refreshing when people are authenticity themselves and appreciate others. She's a beautiful lady to look at but her authenticity just draws one in!
Hey Miss Molly! I have done the recipe with anything from 1 parts paint up to 2 parts paint and the 1 parts paint is stronger against scratches. The official recipe I shoot for is 1/1/1 and 1/4 cup Chalk powder 1/8 cup paint but I may have been a little pouring happy in the video 😆
@@celeste-236Luke warm water will help it dissolve more quickly/thoroughly. It's always funny reading the comments and seeing how many apparently weren't listening. It's refreshing to see some people actually do!
Thanks for all your time and information. Not all "artists" will share their stories and you just made it easier for everyone out there. I've tried this recipe as well and I will never buy paint for DIY jobs again. I love your videos and naughty personality. 🙏🏻
I know this video is old compared to some of your newer video posts but after watching it (for probably the 4th time… lol) I finally tried your paint recipe and I truly was wowed! Just finished a beautiful set of nightstands and I can’t say enough about the application and the finished look. Absolutely love your all your stuff Shannon, you make furniture refinishing seem so much less intimidating to us beginners. 😊
I just made your recipe for the paint and gave it a try. I am thrilled!!! Thank you so very much for sharing this!!! I learn so much from you. You are real and genuine. Thank you, again!!
This is a game changer for me as I haven't been able to make much of a profit yet bc I'm buying chalk paint, and I so appreciate u sharing it! Love ur channel, always learn something new 🤗🥳
Sabrina I buy the sample size paints in satin or flat at Lowe’s or HDepot, to that, you add two TB of calcium carbonate diluted in one TB of water, (or a little more) the adhesion superb! Finish with topcoat.
Gonna try this one step paint. I make my own chalk paint occasionally already for my furniture projects. Gonna need to try this paint recipe now. Save time and money 💰 awesome thanx again
Omg just found this video!! THANK YOU!! I was just looking at one of the new popular cottage colors with the built in sealer...so expensive!!! I was like there has got to be a way to make this myself!!! And there you were!!!❤❤❤❤
Thank you for the recipe to create your own one step paint. It sounds like you have a winner! I also have a jar of this product to create chalk paint I haven’t used, so I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks!
Yes I am the female black sheep in my family 😝🐑! I love the way you think! So grateful you took the effort & time to blend the right mix. And then sharing it with us❗️What a doll you are😻
I only flip furniture from late March-early October. I usually buy cheap/clearance paint in the winter to stock up. I’m TOTALLY going to try this on my first piece this year. Thanks for this! Can’t wait!
Please don’t ever stop making your videos or feel discouraged by commenters!!! You are so helpful for us newbies! ❤ just found your page and so excited to learn to update some of my home
First of all thank you.... Take ordinary chalk, put it in a CHEAP multi and turn into powder , it's EXACTLY the same as the bought stuff , I also bought a small sieve and put the powder through as an extra precaution ....Greetings from Athens, Greece
@@insatiableivy a cheap processor or spice grinder .....break the chalk up into smaller pieces and grind it up ....by putting it through a sieve your making sure that you're getting the powder only....
Couldn’t hit that subscribe button any quicker 😂 wow this is fab thank you for sharing I’m all about finding my own recipes I spend as much time researching as I do actual painting 🙈 cannot wait to try it ✨
You can find calcium carbonate powder at most vitamin stores, that's where I get mine :) for those reading, this is what makes the paint stick to all the things with little to no sanding. I also use an old immersion blender to mix or throw it in can and have them put it on the shaker at the hardware store if making a lot
I’m fascinated with this recipe because I have a lot of leftover paint in my house and I believe you should use what you have before buying more! Love that I could reduce my projects from 2 coats primer+2 coats paint + 2 coats top coat so from 6 coats to maybe 2 total coats! Amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
I love that you are sharing this idea. I've been tempted to try. I do mix my own colors from behr sample paints. I mostly sew bit newish to other crafting. Ice tries painting ball jars in separate steps but our weird climate ranges one day too dry to next too humid. I can't get it to stick even prepping with a top coat or cleaning with alcohol. I also don't want to spend time waiting for paint to dry to go to next step. I have made my own chalk paint. I looked up what chalk was first. So chalk is mainly two ingredients in nature. Calcium and something else. Except Plaster of Paris has 3 and only found outside of Paris. It hardens more and why was used for casts. But any calcium product is supposed to work. I used powder plaster patch. But the article I read said to find the one with the fewest additives. So I did. It worked pretty good.
I am so excited to give this a try! I have a very small kitchen and been waiting to paint the cabinets white and although my kitchen is tiny, I have been putting it off because of the work involved, but bit after watching this video I believe I’m going to going to pull the plug and get it going… your method cuts the job time by more then half!!! Horray I will post before and after pictures after I get it done!!!
Looking forward to trying this recipe. I used to work at Lowe’s in the paint department so I would snag any paint I liked the color of. I probably have 30 gallons of paint in my shop. 🤷♀️
I'm So so so so so impressed! I can't wait to try this. I'm getting ready to paint my kitchen cabinets and think this will be the perfect solution to not having to paint multiple layers. That gallon of blue paint you have is exactly the color the bottom cabinets will be. The tops will be a soft white with glass pane doors.
Thank you so much for this video. I’m going to do this with some of my paints. You always have such great money making/ saving tips to share and I trust them. I’m using your “No Brush Strokes” method of painting / top coating using a 6 “ foam roller and love it. P.S. like your hair cut 🤗
I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and experience with us. I try the wood finish look on laminate table and people cannot believe is not wood. Is one of my favorite flips.

I have used Baking Soda in my paint to create a chalk paint then wax over it. When sanding, it takes some elbow grease to get that distressed look, but, has worked every time. Love this video, another new method to try. Thank you for sharing.
Hi, just found your channel and really enjoyed the paint recipe. Never heard of this before. Have nothing to paint at the moment but will use your recipe when I do. I painted a tallboy a couple of years ago and had to do several coats, which looks good but scratches very easily.
This idea was created in Yecapixtla Mexico I'm glad you learning and share a traditional knowledge. Use baba nopal (cactus) too. Use polvo gis (charcoal) Use Clara huevo (egg white) .
I mixed up this recipe this week and gave it a try. I really, Really, REALLY like this mixture! The consistency is awesome with a smooth finish. It also has great coverage and I only had to use two coats. Thank you so much! I also used your whisk broom technique this week on another piece and it’s amazing too! Adding both to my furniture flipping arsenal! THANK YOU!!!
Can anyone testify of the long term durability of this mixture? Or it would be rwally awesome Shannon if you could do a video with previous projects that you used this on and how they have held up ❤ id love to try this!!
This is cool that your doing this. I actually came up with a little recipe of my own for a great all in one paint. Same top coat but I used a paint and primer combo. I've never measured it when I mix it to use. I'll add baking soda, sea salt, ex. What ever texture I need at the time. I have to try this. Pretty cool. Also I have actually mixed some chalk paint and top coat to fix a bleed through when I was adding blending on top of that color but didn't have much top coat at the time I was working on that piece. Lol. But I got more later. 😆 I'm going to try this recipe. ❤
Just love the idea of being able to buy the oops paints and using your hacks wish i knew of this 3yrs ago could of saved lots of money its the weekend for me so home depot and lowes i am on my way
I hope you give this a try, you’ll be so happy you did!!! 🖤 🐑 And don’t be surprised if you start to become a bit of a black sheep too 😉
My mind is blown😛🤯 I’ve already making it. FYI- Sherwin Williams sells their mistint for $1 per quart. The gallons are $5
Oh wow!! That’s awesome 👏
