DIY Chalkboard Paint Recipe

Most chalkboard paints are available in traditional black or green, but it's easy to make if a different color is required.

Simply mix a cup of latex paint in the color of your choice and mix with two tablespoons of unsanded tile grout. You may have to play around with the amounts a little bit to get the desired consistency. Start with small amounts until you get the hang of it. (Thanks to marthastewart.com for this recipe!)

Use it all over the house for different craft projects. There are tons of things you can do, so grab a brush (or spray can) and get painting.
