Thank you for showing us how to make chalk paste. I can't afford Chalk Couture either. Especially when you have your project all planned out in your head and you do not have all the colors you need.
I hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
So, a year later, and this video is still helping. When I find expensive products being recommended, my first step is to search for diy's of them. Thanks so much for this one.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
At last something interesting to listen to without annoying music!!! Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching! I sure hope you stick around cause I don't put music in my videos. I appreciate your support
I love that you showed how to do this, I can't afford chalk couture either 😁❤️
Glad to help! Thanks for watching
This was extremely helpful since I was shopping for chalk paste recently. I wanted to buy a few different colors but the cost would be astronomical. Your amazing video was just the best remedy! TYFS your time and knowledge with helping others to have fun crafting without going broke. You made a subscriber out of me.
So glad it was helpful! Welcome and thanks for watching!
oooooh! You can also use Coco's Chalky powder with any paint :)
I was actually searching for chalk paste videos for pica related purposes but I enjoyed this diy tutorial bc I just purchased a journal from Target yesterday that I'll be working on at a planner meet up I'm attending today.
Wow, Melissa! Just the other day I was wishing I knew how to make chalk paste🤣. Thank you so very much sweetie 💕💕💕
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching
Thank you so much for sharing ❤ with us! Chalk Couture is extremely high in my opinion. I absolutely love all their products and would buy from them if their products were wallet friendly. I just can't justify taking that much from the family in hopes that I might be able to make some of it back someday. I truly appreciate you 💓
I like chalk couture too, and I'm so glad that you came across my video! I really hope it helps you out, that's why I love doing these types of videos. Thank you so much for watching!
Ditto here. I've been seeing Chalk Couture videos and checked their prices. YIKES. They're also an MLM. YIKES ON TRIKES. Nope nope nope nope. However, I like the look, and I have some mdf board that I've painted with black chalkboard paint. This video is a great alternative.
I have seen them use plaster of Paris and baking soda. But the talc powder one is my favorite. The colors are so much brighter with the talc compared to the others. I appreciate this video. I needed to make paste so I found your video. You were very thorough on the directions.
I like the talc best myself. So glad you found me. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the great idea it’s 210 Am in Brooklyn New York glad I found you could not sleep
Sorry you couldn't sleep. I find myself scrolling UA-cam when I can't sleep too. Glad you stopped by! Thanks for watching
Went to a show and tell last night and thought it was a lot of money so this will be great Thank you
Glad you found me! Thanks for watching!
Thank you Melissa! I too cant afford chalk couture! So i love that u did this video. You really cant tell the difference between store bought vs. Hand made.
So glad you like it! Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this! I just learned about Chalk Couture and thought it was kind of pricey. I'm so glad I found this video with a great alternative.
Glad you found me! Thanks for watching
Awesome tutorial Melissa, thank you for sharing this with us. Have a wonderful and blessed day 🙏
Thanks so much 😊 Thanks for watching
Yes, the dollar aisle in the CVS is the only place I can find the talc powder, I have been telling everyone, and it smells amazing, too!
I just bought it today!
Thanks for sharing your time to help us learn how to make it. Like your stencil
I appreciate you watching!
Thank you so very much for showing how to make this. Can't afford chalk couture either.

My pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching

Thank you for watching!!! Have fun!!
Hi Melissa 👍 TFS Happy Thursday to you stay safe and God Bless.
Hey Sandra! Thanks for watching and always supporting!!
@@MelissaMakesItDIY you are so welcome ♥️
Great information, thank you for the tutorial.
This is so awesome Melissa! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊🌸💕
Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you so much. I can't afford it either so this is great to know.
Hope it helps!! Thanks for watching
New subscriber!! Thank you for sharing this tutorial!!
Welcome!! Thanks for watching
Thanks,Melissa🍀🍀
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching
I wish I had your CVS! I had everything else and I ran to CVS and all their talcs are 5 or more. Except the tiny one is 3.00. I showed them the picture of your bottle and they said they never heard of that kind. It must be where I live. But I cant wait to try this. Thank you!
That's strange. I've been to a few different CVS in Minnesota, Illinois and Indiana and they all have a version of the small Dollar section and that's where they have it. It may be a different brand but they've all had them. Hopefully you can find some. Thanks for watching
It’s probably Texas. I haven’t had good experiences since I moved here. I’m from Ohio. Thanks anyway. I’ve been doing research and I think I’m gonna use the one that says baby powder cornstarch.
That is pretty cool!!
Hey girl, this video is fantastic!! I need to try this! Tfs! Jackie 😍
Thanks!! Let me know what you think! Thanks for watching
what a gr8 alternative!
tfs
xox
Very useful information I'm not willing to pay the price for chalk catour
Nice job !! I have to try it !!
You have to let me know what you think. The sticky stencils from DT work well with this. Thanks for watching!!
@@MelissaMakesItDIY yes the light blue ones i have lots .. before we even had craft corner . They are sticky on the back ..
Excellent! Thank you so much!
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching
I make my chalk paint with plaster of Paris, can I use that for this chalk couture paste too?? And thank you for your tutorial.
Yes. I've used it before as well
Calcium Carbonate, (POP)Plaster Of Paris ❤
What could type of towel be used in place of the fuzzy towel for the stencils
I'm not really sure. I never use a towel
Melissa I’m having a hard time find the powder
Lisa, the only place I've been able to find it is my local CVS in their little "dollar" section.
How long do they last in the mason jars?
I had mine in there for about 5 months before I moved and got rid of them and they were still good after 5 months.
After project is finish can
A coat of urethane be put over dried design?
I've never tried it before. I'm going to assume that it'll wipe off even after dry. Maybe do a test piece. Sorry I couldn't be more help
Can you re-sticky the stencil with some Pixie Spray or Aleene's Tack It Over and Over? I'm interested in doing this, but I don't have any self-adhesive stencils. Wondering if it could work on a regular plastic stencil if I use one of those products.
Yes you can use regular stencils, you just have to be a bit more careful to avoid bleeding. Hope that helps!
This video is so helpful! I'm definitely going to try and make some chalk paste. Quick question, can you wash/wipe this paste off your materials like you can with CC? Ie, if you wanted to reuse that chalkboard for another design? Thank you!
I'm so glad you watched! Thank you! Yes you're able to wipe it to reuse the surface.
Oh my gosh!! I have been looking for a CC dupe!! Thankyou!! :-) Question.....does this wash off well?
Yes it does. Thanks for watching. Hope it helps!!
How long can the chalk paste last when stored?
Hi Melissa I love the video and thank you for sharing… how long can be stored?
Thanks! I'll have to check my batch. I haven't used it in a few months
Thank you Melissa 😊
What am I doing wrong? Mine just rubs straight off
I'm not sure. Mine rubs off a little, but once I use it I don't try rubbing it off intentionally.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Am just getting interested in this technique and, like everyone else, find CC so expensive. This is a great alternative. I have 2 questions---Would Calcium Carbonate work as well as the baby powder? It is another way to make chalk paint, so I'm just wondering if I make it thicker if it would be the same. Second, you mention a longer drying time than the "real" paste. Is it significantly longer? Thanks so much!
I think if you adjust the texture and "pastiness" using the calcium carbonate that it would work. I have used it to make chalk paint but didn't think to use it for this. It wasn't a significant difference as far as the drying time, but it did take a bit longer. That's really more in terms of it curing. I hope that helps.
Can this be permanent if you bake your cup?
I'm not sure, I've never tried. Thanks for watching!
What a great alternative to the expensive chalk paste! I have all of these ingredients on hand and could totally make my own. TYFS! Do you think a silicone face mask applicator would work in lieu of the squeegees?
Funny you mention the applicator. I thought about that after I recorded. I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as it's flat. Thanks for watching let me know if you try it
Hey girl just know that your transfer may not last as long using this techique
I haven't had any deterioration or damage to my stencils/transfers thus far and I've used this for quite some time. But to each his own. I found an alternative that has worked for me and shared it.
I can’t find the baby powder with talc. Have you tried the baby powder with cornstarch in it? Will that one work
Honestly I don't know. I've tried regular baby powder and it doesn't work as well it's clumpy. I imagine the cornstarch would be similar. You could always try a small amount to see. Thanks for watching
Why do you need the alcohol, or hand sanitizer? Is that so it keeps longer, or something??
Both to preserve and to make it "pasty"
Hello! Thanks for the tutorial! If I apply the chalk paste to a vessel like stainless tumbler, but, how do I dry it and will it be dishwasher safe?
I've never used it on anything other than chalkboard and DT signs, but there's no way that I can think to make it dishwasher safe other than the dishwasher safe mod podge but that may smear it on that material.
@@MelissaMakesItDIY Appreciate the response. Best of luck to you and your channel! 🙏🍃
@@briand.2365 thank you and thanks for watching
Would these work on glass as well?
I haven't tried it, but I don't see why not
Can you use this with stencils you make with a Cricut?
Yes you can. I've done it a few times. Thanks for watching!
My only question is I was told not to the the screen dry with paste on it. Is that the same with the homemade paste?
I'm not sure I understand the question.
@@MelissaMakesItDIY is it okay to let the paste dry to the screen? I was wondering if it was different with the homemade paste. I was told not to let it dry on the screen with chalk couture paste.
I would wash it off as soon as possible. It washes off fairly easily. It will stain the screen and could potentially get stuck in the screen if you leave it too long.
@@MelissaMakesItDIY thank you.
@@beckyrumery6928 you're very welcome
Can you use on t-shirts
I'm not sure. I've never tried that. Sorry I couldn't be more help
@@MelissaMakesItDIY can you use it on any stencils I haven't tried that yet but I want to.
That you can do. Don't sweat it, just dab it
Thanks for sharing…where and what brand of stencils can I buy beside chalk couture?
Thanks for watching, You want to use silkscreen stencils. You can find them at Michaels and Hobby Lobby
@@MelissaMakesItDIY Do silk screen work good with chalk paste?
Amazon has them now too and they all work perfect with chalk paste
Tfs, not able to afford there stencils, can they be used on other stencils?
Yes, but you don't smear, you dab it on like regular paint. You just have to tape the stencil down so there's minimal bleed through
Now, if someone can just come up with a cheaper veraion of the stencils. I am not into farmhouse, and that seems to be what they have the most of, for stencils. I suppose you could use a regular stencil, if your careful.
You can def use regular stencils, just dab instead of swipe it on
Use a silk screen frame over any regular stencil! TA-DAH!!
Couldn't you just start with chalk paint?
Possibly. I've not tried that.
Very interesting, I don't know about the paste. Hope you don't mind a couple of questions. Lol Why would I want to use it rather than regular paint? And did I understand correctly that the alcohol/sanitizer helped keep the paint color true?
No problem. Since the paste is thicker it works much better with the screen stencil. Less bleeding. Yes when you use the alcohol the color is brighter. I can't explain why for that one, just something i noticed from making it over time. Maybe it's something like how vinegar keeps clothes brighter when added to the wash?? Hope that helps
@@MelissaMakesItDIY thank you so much for answering and explaining. So one more question, the paste is only used on "screen" stencils, what is a screen stencils?
I've seen people use regular stencils with paste, I've never done it. Screen stencils have a thin mesh on the parts that are cut out of the stencil
@@MelissaMakesItDIY Thank you Melissa for being kind answering my questions. I'll look more into these products. I don't have good luck with paint and stencils, tried everyone's suggestions and I'm just not good at it lol
@@micheleharley9887 lol this paste or any paste you choose and the screen stencils make for almost no error use. It's easy and works every time I've used it unless I make a bad batch lol let me know if you try it out and how it works for you. Thanks for watching!
Can you use this on tshirts? Does it wash out?
I've never tried it, but my guess is it would wash out
Is it permanent?
No it wipes off with water
