NEW part 2 video here for more awesome ideas! ua-cam.com/video/F6Gn9trma5w/v-deo.html
Fine talc powder: amzn.to/3RZ3owb
Calcium Carbonate: amzn.to/4azLXtr
There are no “exact” measurements for this recipe, which I mention in the video, because if you start with a thicker paint, you add less and vice versa. I give a suggested *starting point* for use with *acrylic* craft paint of 2 parts powder to 1 part paint. You can also add tiny amounts of water and it won’t hurt the opaqueness if your paint gets too thick. Even a little shake into ANY kind of paint will add more "veiling" power to that paint. Happy crafting!
Regarding concerns about talc. Johnson and Johnson lawsuits relate to talc migrating up into the vagina. Obviously, that is not the application here for chalk paint. The issue of asbestos-containing talc stems from the mining of the two naturally occurring minerals, which often are found in close proximity on the earth’s surface. Unfortunately, companies were unaware in the 1960's- early 1970's and were mining from contaminated mines. *Today's talc is routinely tested for asbestos. Cosmetic talc is 96% pure, and medical talc 98% free of asbestos* J&J just as easily could have put a warning not to use it on your baby's private parts. They continue to sell it everywhere on the globe except the USA and Canada, only because they were sick and tired of lawsuits. Cornstarch is GMO, and will also migrate into the vagina and I am fairly certain there will be consequences from that. As a side note, *simple rice starch (powder not flour),organic unscented cornstarch or arrowroot powder is best for your baby's bottom area!* To keep things in perspective, saw dust from wood is listed as a carcinogen and linked to cancer. I don't agree with J&J's cowardly removal of talc. They knew it didn't pose a danger when used correctly. The USA still allows it's use in tons of our facial powders! It was a stupid move and has fueled misinformation and hysteria. However, *don't go buy a bag of talc off online. It needs to be medical grade, which is what was in the baby powder!* Always wear a certified N94 mask when doing anything with airborne particles.

Talc causes cancer. It's a proven fact.
Good video though
Can you show me where it says it I am curious
@@rondawatterson7872 I almost missed it too...but her suggested measurements weren't written out she spoke them. But she LIKES one part paint to one half part talc. Or u can do one part paint to one part talc but no more. In other words...if u have a cup of paint add a half cup talc and may add up to a cup but no more. Hope that helps.
Thank u so very much Holly
35 years ago, as a professional make-up artist, I learned about making pancake make-up. Take a look at the ingredients that Westmore used to make the first pancake make-up. They needed something that would not melt under the hot studio lights. In checking his formula, it amazed me that he just took a paint formula and made it into the make-up of the Golden Hollywood era. His product created the velvet complexions on screen. So, chalk paint also does that, cause it is the same ingredients. So, the comment of "painting your face" actually fit what he was doing. He used a solid pigment that he dispersed into a liquid medium and added his talc, too. He would apply the foundation to the starlet, let it dry, and buff it. The buffing took away anything that would appear scratchy on film. Their complexions had to be perfectly smooth, like when gesso is put on a canvas. I think you can see where I am going here. So, sanding your chalk paint is the same as when Westmore would "buff" his clients foundation. It was activated with water and would dry on the actresses, not like a mud mask, but they felt it's tightening power. So many of the actresses would swipe the foundation from him for their own use. It led him to start producing it in larger quantities and the rest is history. I will use the calcium carbonate to make my paint. I have some awfully beautiful mineral pigments that I want to turn into paint. I'll "buff" with the lightest sandpaper, mimicking what Westmore did to complexions and make my paint so smooth. This is fun. Thank you for posting your experiments.
That's cool
I walked right out of my local diy store after seeing the price of a tiny tin. Thank you for saving me lots of money. Brilliant 💖
Aww, my pleasure! It’s pretty outrageous I agree! 🥰😘❤️🌸🌸
Hi there. I cannot find powder with talc any where in stores. I live in Buffalo NY.....any idea what brand or brands I can buy. I can order talc on line I understand. But I am anxious to get my project started. And don't want to wait for delivery.....any ideas ladies???
Thank you Thank you..great info in all your videos
Stay Safe. Thanks again
@@jenlafferty6781 Unfortunately, 3 months after I uploaded this vid, Johnson and Johnson discontinued talc baby powder in the USA and Canada, and it seems everyone and every generic brand is copying. You can try searching for pure talc in bulk ,but the vid seems to have made the prices jump up. I am in the process of making another vid with another product for the USA and Canada. This vid will remain up for the rest of the globe who can still benefit and thank me all the time. Sorry about that. I am frustrated too!
@@jenlafferty6781 I got some off Amazon
@@HotHumblePie I just ordered two bottles off of Amazon. Thank you for this informative video.
Thanks for the info - great demo. I would add one thing - the safety of talc is still contested, so be sure and wear a mask when mixing so no powder is inhaled, and make sure you don't get in talc on broken skin. That should keep you safe!
I pretty Talc banned here in Australia.
Great tutorial especially on chalk paint which everyone is using and its expensive.
Its people like you who I admire very much bc you don't keep your secrets, you just helped thousands of people out.
Also, your a great Teacher, TFS ❤👍🌍💐
Great Teacher
Thank you so much!
Thank you for spending all this time to show the rest of us. Your talent, imagination, and patience are second to none!
You are my favorite. Your voice is very soothing. I have anxiety and some crafters talk real fast and loud. I love their stuff but get never out listening.
Aww. Thank you 😊
I feel the same way...aLOT of them are VERY loud a screechy which RUINS it for me cause i had brain surgery and residual from that, so, yes, i soooo agree🥰
Thankyou🕊and Bless You All🦋
This is the best chalk paint recipe I’ve ever tried. It dries so pretty, it’s full coverage, and it smells great! Thank you very much.
You’re very welcome! 😘🥰😍
Which ratios did you use please ? Ty !
@@HotHumblePie did you make it and did it work??? That's what matters.
I want to thank you for sharing this video. I never really liked chalk paint because it seemed like it clumped a lot. Even the store bought. I thought I would give this one a try and to my surprise I LOVE it! It goes on nice and smooth and holds well. It looks wonderful on my glass. I am truly blessed to have found your channel. Thanks again!
Yay! Thank you 😊
did you make it and did it work??? That's what matters.
That was very helpful comparing all of those different techniques because I’ve always wondered about all of them with the acrylic paint thanks for sharing🤗
Thank you for watching! Have a beautiful week!😘🥰
I’ve used baking soda mixed with acrylic craft paint on glass and it looks like ceramic. My 25 year old daughter saw a piece and thought it was truly ceramic.
I need to try that myself. Baking soda is great for so many things, garden bugs hate it also BS + salt will clean your teeth so good. BTW, BE SURE YOU GET BAKING SODA, NOT, BAKING powder. Big difference. Thanks
What Was the ratio you used
What ratio did you add? Teaspoons or mix to A thick paint
@@rendaowe Ratio? TIA
What kind of paint though.
You really are the perfect diy-er for people like me who are on a tight budget! I love this !
Thank you Donna that was the plan! Lol thanks for watching! ❤️😘🥰
Thank you, it looks great!
What kind of paint do you mix with the talc????
@@annettebustamante8965 exactly. it didn't work for me a waste of money.
HUGE HELP!!! Ty so much! I have large size white and black acrylic paint. Now I turn it into chalk paint!
2👍🏻👍🏻!!
Your voice is so calming 😍
Thank you for this recipe, it look so good, can’t wait to try it!
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching! Have a beautiful weekend 😘🥰
I agree her voice is very calming lol. Love listening. She is going to be huge in youtube!! :)
Thanks SO much Holly! I recently started doing a lot of crafting and DIYs on my channel and the cost of chalk paint can be steep! I really needed this info to keep my costs down. You are a life-saver!! I can’t thank you enough!! 🥰🤗
That is awesome, and you are very welcome! xox
This was a brilliant demonstration! I had been explaining the scientific method to my son the other day as part of a science lesson, and called him to watch your process. For you to go further than just the swatches by painting difficult surfaces + adding decals was just icing on the cake!
Thank you 😊
I’ve been binging your videos.
So much love for your channel. You seem like a really awesome person who has a lot of wisdom. This is something we needed in these hard times. Thank you!🌸🌸🌸
Awww, thank you for such a sweet comment and thank you for watching! I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! Have a beautiful weekend my friend! 💕😘❤️
I totally agree!
I will definitely be using this paint on my projects. I love how easy it is to make and way cheaper. Ty so much for this.
Glad it was helpful! 💕💕
I got some Tums (calcium carbonate) at the Dollar Tree and ground them in my coffee grinder and used it with acrylic paint and it worked great. Put the Tums powder in a clean peanut butter jar with some water and shook it and let it sit overnight, then added the acrylic paint. Thanks for sharing the calcium carbonate recipe!
Yes! You can do that!
I absolutely loooove this! I will definitely try it! I cannot believe I didn’t know this already! Thank you so much for sharing! Great tutorial!
Aww, that's wonderful! Let me know how you like it xox
I’m a makeup artist, and you are SOOOOOO RIGHT on the MONEY with this one!!! THANKS FOR THIS INFO! 💝
You just blew my mind AGAIN! Your channel is going to grow BIG! 😍👍
thank you my friend 🥰!
Hi Holly thank u so much showing the comparison. 🙏
Chalk paint is so expensive!!!
God bless u for ur sharing ur knowledge and advice 😘😘😘
Thank you so much! This was so informative and a true game changer. I have so many "Winter" painting projects this year and your tutorial has already helped me immensely!
Who knew chalk paint could be do easy to make. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure 😁
Thank you so much! I now get it. Didn’t understand why everybody wanted to use Waverly paint and white chalk paint.. It’s not very easy finding Waverley paint so luckily I have not purchased it yet!, Lucky me , now I don’t have to, thanks to you. I love watching your channel.
Thank you Virginia! 😘🥰
Virginia, where did you find the right kind of baby powder?
I just had it at home...it was pretty old! By Johnson
@@virginiarobles4423
Please be careful when using talc. I wouldn't even use it. It has caused cancer and still does cause cancer. Lawsuits have been filed.
Cornstarch baby powder is way better.
@@cindyschroeder2975
Please don't use talc. It causes cancer!
Very well done video. Just the facts and no chit-chat. Thanks. It amazes me how many people want to share their life story and never get to the DIY instructions
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this information! I have made my own chalk paint with plaster of paris, but it don't cover like yours with the talc! This is very much appreciated! Blessings!
So glad it helped! Hugs to you my friend! xox
Thank you Holly!
Thanks for sharing this information! I’ve wanted to make my own chalk paint but wasn’t sure which was the best one to make. This clears it up for me. ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Love watching you craft and you are so beautiful and talented ❤❤❤
It’s really hard to find talc powder but I did try this trick....calcium carbonate which you can get from Amazon in a I pound bag for $6.88. Works great!
Do you have a hard time finding baby powder talc? The $.99 Only Store and the Dollar Tree and pretty much every discount store sells it here. Do you live in the USA? Calcium carbonate is what they put in real chalk paint. It’s essentially Tums, the ant acid 🥰😘, but people want to buy things in the store when they’re there, for the most part. That’s why it’s quick easy and cheap chalk paint 😂 Thanks for watching!
What I researched and found to be the True ingredient in those expensive chalk paints
Was Calcium Carbonate. I didn’t find mine cheap like you. I had to buy “Fluker’s Calcium For Captive Reptiles”. 2oz jar for about $7. “Chewy” online retail keeps sending me cards asking how my lizard is when I order pet supplies lol. I think it’s 2 tablespoons dissolved in water and mixed with a sample size tin of paint...that’s all ya get! I was thinking that must be why Annie Sloan charges $32 for a little can at my fav vintage shop. It is a smooth finish tho, I noticed heavy streaks with the talc (more water needed?).
Connie Jane here’s what I got from Amazon, www.amazon.com/LD-Carlson-Calcium-Carbonate-Capacity/dp/B0064GZPPO. It’s still only $6.88 for a one pound bag. It’s lasting forever!
Connie Jane yes, you can add more water to reduce steaks. Also keep in mind that my chalk paint recipe is a faux Chalk paint recipe meant as a nice substitute for those people who can’t afford the real brand-name chalk paint. It is perfect for fun crafts, however if you were doing furniture or kitchen cupboards I would recommend investing in high-quality real chalk paint. In saying that, many of the subscribers on this thread said they have done exactly this! Painted their furniture and their kitchen cupboards and they love the results using talc! 😯😜I find Waverly to be streaky as well. In general I just find chalk paint to be very streaky. You can spray a bit of water on the surface and brush. This will reduce the streaks with both my chalk paint recipe and the brand name chalk paint using calcium carbonate. 🥰❤️
Just wondering, if you were to rub calcium carbonate on your skin, is it leaving a white film behind or is it completely transparent? Baking soda for example makes paint feel like chalk paint, but doesn’t actually create a high coverage one coat chalk paint. Just wondering what calcium carbonate is like? If you scroll up this thread one of the commentators said she uses calcium carbonate plus a little bit of talc. She feels this creates the perfect chalk paint. I have not tried it.
Thanks for sharing your chalk paint idea love it ❤bless you ❤
Excellent tutorial!!! Saving money moving forward 💕❤️⭐️💜💓🙌
Thank you Lucia!💕❤️😘🥰🌸🌸
Can't wait to try this out.
Hi Holly! I found your channel from Heidi Sonboul's playlist last week. I have used your chalk paint recipe for white and black acrylic paints and I LOVE IT!! It is perfect for my home decor projects and looks great when distressed, the coverage is also fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone. I am going to be putting up a video tomorrow where I use the white chalk paint recipe and I am going to tell everyone about it and that it came from you. I'll also include your channel in my description box and show your channel in my video! Thanks again!
the Schwowin's nest Oh awesome! I am so glad you love it as much as I do! Thank you for the linking too! xox 😘🥰
Did you use the one to one ratio or the 1/2 to one ratio ?
@@debraclark9549 I usually use the 1:1 ratio but it depends on the thickness of the original paint too. I would suggest starting with small amounts and then adding more as you need it to get the right thickness. Hope that helps!
Thank you you make it so simple and easy.
Thank you
Thank you, and happy new year! ❄️❄️⛄️⛄️⭐️⭐️💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing this!!! This makes so much since now seeing all three....
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!🥰😘
Very impressive 👏. Thanks for your explanation 👍
Thank you so much! I bought some oops paint from ACE hardware and have been searching for the best chalk paint recipe to transform my great find!
Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!! xox

The problem with talc is where it is mined is where asbestos can also be found. That’s why talc is usually contaminated with asbestos. But other than that I really appreciate your tutorials through this channel!
I made another video this summer offering 3 other wonderful options here: ua-cam.com/video/F6Gn9trma5w/v-deo.html
Regarding concerns about talc. Johnson and Johnson lawsuits relate to talc migrating up into the vagina. Obviously, that is not the application here for chalk paint. The issue of asbestos-containing talc stems from the mining of the two naturally occurring minerals, which often are found in close proximity on the earth’s surface.

www.asbestos.com/exposure/short-term/
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Unfortunately I went out and bought baby powder made with talc and corn starch. Willl this not work at all? Could I just change the ratio?
Thank you for demonstrating the differences, you cosmetic background definitely gives you the right knowledge to improve on craft formulations! I think makeup is just another craft medium! Chalk might be gypsum which is also what some people add to make chalk paint. Talc sounds safer than plaster, more accessible than gypsum powder for us. (Cornstarch for body powder and babies).
Living Reflection Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the show 😘🥰 hug
Thank you for sharing its nice for people to know there are cheaper way to get chalk paint.. I myself use calcium carbonate powder to do my chalk paint.
Thank you so much for that tip. I have the powder on hand so I will be trying it. Seem like these days online chalk paint stays out of stock lol!!
Be sure to check the ingredients on the back label!Thank you for watching! Have fun crafting! Hugs 🥰😘
Thank you for sharing your expertise and being so transparent. I really want to update my furniture and create my own little refuge, but the chalk paint I've seen are pricey. Thanks for helping me create calm!
Thank you Johna! I am in the process of making another recipe, because unfortunately the prices for talc have tripled since I made this vid. The entire point of this, was to provide a cheap option for hardcore crafters. I am pleased to say I have found a supplier of the ingredients I was looking for, and it's even cheaper! 😁 Now to test, and then film. For those in the USA and Canada, this will be another godsend if I can swing it! The rest of the world will continue to be able to benefit from this video. Hopefully you live where you can still find it cheap!
😳WOW!!! TY Holly for this demonstration!!! I was using the baking soda technique & needless to say, I wasn’t very fond of it. I will be switching to using talc from now on👍🏼🥰
Yay! If you Google pure talc in bulk you can also find it there, just in case you have trouble. Some people have trouble depending on where they live. Enjoy! xox
You saved me time and hassle by showing this information , so thank you so much !!
Thanks for the wonderful information. This is great to know! Have a great day!
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching and much love to you my friend! xox
Very good idea. Home made is best.
Thank you so much for this, I love the way you demonstrated all of the choices.I heard about you from Marta at Cuban Curlzz,she says that you're amazing.....she's right.
Gill's Frills and some Witchy Skills thank you so much, and thank you for watching! Have a beautiful week! 🥰😘
This life long retired makeup artist who also loves making art was reminded of cosmetic counter line manager who always stirred & got foundation out of her testers with a q-tip. The result was, eventually, all her tester bottles of foundation seemed to have "fibrous tumors" in them (as we laughingly called them). A stick may be a better option for smooth paint. LOL You're correct about the baby powder...I've made my own gesso out of it for years!
Check out my new video on chalk paint! Three new ways!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Being home bound, I'm close to out of chalk paint. I will be giving this a try!
Awesome! I think you’re gonna like it! Thanks for watching my friend! 🥰😍
You are generous, kind, inspirational and so gifted.
Aww thank you ❤️
Hi, Holly! Thank you so much for breaking the different options down and showing us the results. I found this so helpful. I haven’t been able to find white chalk paint.
I noticed you had a jar for your paint. Can you make up enough to fill a mason jars worth and save it? And what is the longevity of it? Thanks so much again for this.
Happy Sunday. Have a beautiful day!🥰❤️🌻🌻🌻
Hi Michelle! Yes I made up a mason jar full and it’s still going. A little bit goes a long way! You can also add a little bit of water to it if you feel it’s too thick. That really makes it nice and smooth and easy to work with. I have one jar that is mixed with primer from Home Depot. Then I have another jar that’s mixed with apple barrel white acrylic paint. I use the one with primer when I want something to really stick hard. Things like glass. I just used the acrylic version on metal buckets and it worked brilliantly! I sealed it with a bit of watered down mod podge so that the mod podge wouldn’t be so thick that it would drag and smudge the paint. It makes the mod podge glide nice and easy. More gentle. Hope that helps💕❤️🥰
Thank you so much. That is very helpful. I will definitely try this out! Thank you so much again!🥰🥰❤️❤️
@@HotHumblePie Thank you for letting me know it works with primer from the hardware store. I have been wondering about that!
What a sweet voice and lovely tutorial. Thank you sis. Bless you.
Thank you so much 😊
I just found your channel and now I am obsessed! Have you ever tried this on furniture?
Hi Sharon! I have never tried it on furniture but apparently many of my viewers now have and they are saying that they love it. One lady painted her kitchen cabinets and said it was smooth, opaque and sanded beautifully. Let me know if you try it and how you feel. Thank you for watching! Have a blessed day my friend! ❤️🥰😘
Nice work! Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to try this cause so all I do is add a lil of the powder to acrylic paint and mix is it that simple lol please help
Your grammar is awful . No punctuation . So hard to know what you are saying . Are you asking a question ? 🥴
I love seeing the different products and how they work and don' t work, thank you for sharing this type of information. Also a big thanks for not editing the video.
You are so welcome!
OMG. I can’t say thank you enough. I have only watched 2 videos so far and I can’t say thank you enough. I’m so excited and thank you again. Just wondering if you can use a paint with a primer already in it with the talc formal.
I do cover that in the vid. I use primer, but it can dry in your brush and be difficult to get out. If you don't mind changing your brushes out, it's all good. Thanks for watching my friend! Hug!
Thank you so very much for all this information.
Holly, I tried to read through as many comments as I could to find my answer before bothering you with it. Are you only mixing up your chalk paint with acrylic craft paints? Have you tried latex interior/exterior? I would assume it would work just the same?! TYFS! 💘💘💘
It works with any kind of paint. You can also add tiny amounts of water to thin it out. You can add less if you start with a thicker better coverage paint. Hope that helps! xxx
Thank you for sharing your chalk paint recipe! I will give it a try.
I did try it. Next time I will add a little more talc. It did cover better than the acrylic paint by itself.
I just ordered Aztec Healing Clay ( calcium Bentonite ) before I saw your video to use to make chalk paint/paste . I'm going to send it back and use Talc!
Do you think it will work with stencils specifically Chalk Couture type ones?
It works the same as crafting chalk paint, so I don't see why not! I've stenciled with it, but I haven't tried the specific brand you're talking about (just being honest). Logically though, it should perform the same. Thanks for watching! xox
@@HotHumblePie Thank you !!!
I just ordered a 22 oz. Johnson Baby Powder with talc for less than $9.00 plus tax. Today is Thursday and it will be here Saturday. I'm lovin' it.
Glad you found some! I will be making a new vid soon for USA and Canadian residents, because they discontinued talc in these areas and it's making the prices go up. This is my busy season with the holidays, but keep an eye out for that vid!
Wow, I am a new sub and I am impressed THANKS SO MUCH
Thank you!❤️
Babes cannot thank u enough for this video, spl unedited one n ur calming voice and indept details 💋💋💋
THANK YOU...I LOOKED ALLOVER FOR A GOOD INFORMATIVE SITE....YOU HAVE IT! I'LL BE BACK. from LITTLE OLD SCHOOL TEACHER
Great job 👏
Thanks for showing us the different ways and things to use I like the Talc also
I was showing you what not to use! You can only use the talc if you want nice results! 🤪😁
Hot Humble Pie Right
Holly, I am sooooooo thankful for this demo. It was very informative. I have been coating my glass with a thin layer of mod podge before painting which means extra drying time and I haven't been totally pleased with the results.
Thank you. Super helpful.
So glad I found you!thanks!
Welcome!
tried your chalk paint receipe and I love it. it is my new go to/
Wonderful!
Sooooo thrilled I found you. I bought one of those overpriced tiny cans and it didn't even cover the piece of furniture I am painting.
Hi would like to paint an old chest of drawer with this method,is it ok?
I did baking powder with latex paint and you need at least 3 coats to get full coverage and you will see your brush strokes too. You also have to seal it with a good varnish.
Thank you so so very much for a video that is clear, straight to the point, calm, without excessive chatter or piercing music. I too have been searching for an ingredient to make my own chalk paint and I wondered what I could use besides Plaster of Paris. Thank you for this hack I will definitely be trying this.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏾
Be sure to watch my recent video because I suggest three more ingredients in case you have trouble finding this one! Have fun! I pinned the link at the top of this comment section.
I wanted to try chalk paint you saved me $$$ I have so many acrylic craft paints already
Thank you!!!!! Love it!
Thank you so much for the instructions on how to make chalk paint!!! I have been discouraged with the rising prices of chalk paint. This was very encouraging!!!
Please read the comment at the top of this thread. ❤️
Thanks Holly
I Love watching your diy’s on a budget 👍👍
i hope you love using it
Thanks so much ! I’m sure this will save me a lot of money!
You're welcome!
Ty so much. I I really appreciated this tip
Thanks Holly. So grateful for you sharing your recipe with us. Be blessed.
Wonderful tutorial. Will definitely try this method. Thank you for sharing your time and ideas.
Thanks for sharing this...I have used the talc for a while now and have not purchased "chalk" paint since. .. I know others live and die by the their homemade recipes but I know this works and is the Best choice.. I have the upmost respect for you 😁👏 and love your channel.
Thank you Marilyn! I am in the process of making another recipe, because unfortunately the prices for talc have gone up. The entire point of this, was to provide a cheap option for hardcore crafters. I am pleased to say I have found a supplier of the ingredients I was looking for, and it's even cheaper! 😁 Now to test. For those in the USA and Canada, this will be another godsend if I can swing it! The rest of the world will continue to be able to benefit from this video.
Thank you!!! Perfect
I just came across your channel and I'm having a great time binging your videos. I'd just like to say that I'm a furniture artist and I primarily use milk paint over chalk paint, (although I've never bought the brands you referenced so can't speak to their cost). It can definitely be opaque, but it's non toxic and really inexpensive when compared to many chalk paints. Thank you for some a great channel! 🥰🇨🇦
Awesome! Thank you!
I am so grateful to you for making this video and showing us the right way how to make homemade chalk paint!!! The baking soda and cornstarch make it kind of like a texture paste. Which that is good but the pure talc works so awesomely awesome Chalk Paint. It works perfect and you only need one coat. Thank you so very much. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
This is awesome thanks!
THIS. HAS.CHANGED.MY. LIFE!!!!😍
awesome xxx
Great demonstration. 😊
Thank you 😊
Genius!!!
So happy I found your channel. New sub FOREVER!!!
LOL! Thank you Donna! I'm working on another recipe, because talc is selling out too fast now. xxx
@@HotHumblePie // I know!!!...I went as soon as I saw this and it was sold out on the drop list you provided...I'll keep looking though.
You're such an inspiration. I just googled it and it's not easy to find anymore at all since the lawsuit. I was wondering if you've heard of Anti-monkey butt powder? It has talc in it, but also calamine. I wonder if it would work? I've got to get my hands on some talc...lol
This is so enlightening! Thank you!
Wow!! That's amazing! I have only bought 1 thing of Waverly and it was like $7.00 or something like that. That is just too expensive, in my opinion, for craft paint. I'm not saying that crafting is not worth the investments in supplies, paints, etc. But I refuse to pay that price. So, I'm super happy to try this out!! Thank you for sharing!! 💜💜
Yay! Thank you! Working on a new recipe too! ❤️😘🥰🥰🥰🌸
@@HotHumblePie I was so excited about your recipe i couldn't stop talking about it to my husband and my daughter as nd my mom ...lol. I think you get the point!! Maybe you should market it and sell it!! 💜💜
What a great demonstration! I want to use chalk paint to refashion a few ceramic vases, and this will save me money! I can use the acrylic paints that I already have rather than spend more money on chalk paint that I’m only going to use for a small project. Thank you for this demo!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much..... Can wait to make my own!!!!
You are so welcome!
This is soooo helpful
You are the best thanks so much for sharing
