A slate board in the interior is an extraordinary solution. If you want to follow your individuality to the end and not buy it in a store, then you will most likely be faced with the question: what to do with paint? Save money and make your own chalkboard paint.
Whatever surface it is applied to - furniture or a special board, chalkboard paint is completely different from the green or black that is used in schools.
Our paint can cover completely different surfaces: doors kitchen cabinet or the head of the bed, turning an ordinary piece of furniture almost into an art object.
Materials:
primer for latex paint
latex paint of any color
mixing container
brush or roller
mixer attachment for drill
1. Mix latex paint and primer in a container. The ideal chalkboard paint mixture ratio is 1 part primer to 8 parts latex paint.
Stir well, otherwise the primer granules will be visible on the surface of the board. Therefore, it is better to mix with a mixer.
In order to get chalkboard paint in a beautiful slate color rather than a mournful one, black paint can be mixed with white paint in the proportion of 2.2 liters: 0.2 liters (2.2 liters of black paint and 200 ml of white). Then add primer to the mixture.
2. Paint the surface with chalkboard paint. The surface must be prepared in the same way as is usually done before painting. Apply the paint in two layers.
The color range of chalkboard paints is endless. You can choose any bright contrasting color.
3. Bringing the board to perfection. To make the board finally suitable for drawing, you need to sand it with chalk, then erase its traces with a dry cloth in a circular motion.
In today's article I will tell you how you can make a school board with your own hands. I don’t know about anyone, but as a child I tried to make a drawing board at home, and according to my memories, I only made my parents laugh. I hope that after reading the article, you will be able to please your children good advice, and help them build a real school board on their own. Of course, you can buy a school board, but believe me, following the instructions below, building it with your own hands will not be difficult for you, the main thing is to be careful and consistent.Slate paint – great option to create a stylish, modern interior. Elements with such a coating will be appropriate almost everywhere – from a children’s room to a solid office. IN Lately they have become a real design trend!
But the use of unusual paint in the interior is justified not only from a design point of view. Slate surfaces are also very practical. They are a great help in raising children, communicating with family, at work, and just in everyday life.
These paints are popularly called chalk paints. They create a durable matte, slightly rough coating on the surface on which you can write with chalk. The effect is like the familiar school board, only much better.
Modern slate paints have high performance characteristics:
On a note! Chalkboard paints are sold in cans (for application with a brush or roller) and in cans (for easy painting of geometrically complex surfaces).
Manufacturers offer ready-made emulsions of the most different colors. Thus, Siberia paint is available in gray, burgundy, brown, black and dark green. Tikkurila offers those who wish to tint the colorless base into one of the three hundred shades of the branded palette. And Rust-Oleum has a completely transparent slate coating. It can be applied to any colored surface in the house.
Chalkboard paints can be used throughout the home:
Important! Some paints become discolored by hot grease, so they should not be applied near a stove.
A variety of materials can be painted to look like lead:
All slate paints are intended for interior work. They do not tolerate low temperatures.
Chalkboard paint is very easy to use. Anyone can paint a wall or make a cute note board with their own hands.
The painting procedure is as follows:
Advice! Slate paints harden quickly, so you need to work with them quickly.
Wash the slate surface with soap or other household chemicals possible only a month after dyeing.
Factory emulsion is sold in cans and jars of 0.5 and 1 liter. But many simply do not need such an amount of material. In this case, paint with a chalkboard effect can be made with your own hands. It's much cheaper.
All you need is:
The ingredients are thoroughly mixed and inexpensive chalkboard paint is ready.
On a note! Dolomite or marble chips. A homemade cement mixture will not provide such a durable coating. It will get scratched faster.
The most difficult and interesting thing in this matter is choosing the color of the emulsion. Many people don't like traditional dark shades. In this case, you can use other colors on which the chalk pattern will be visible. Light, faded, pastel shades are excluded immediately. But it will be almost as convenient to draw on a bright background as on a dark one. Excellent options are bright red, rich purple, grass green, deep blue.
slate wall does not have to be black, any color of saturated tones can be used for painting It will be very interesting if you use several slate panels of different colors in the interior at once.
Before you make slate paint using this recipe, you should make sure that you already have everything you need on hand. If you have to buy each ingredient, then it may be cheaper to immediately purchase a ready-made factory emulsion.
To prepare about 50 ml of slate paint you will need:
First, grout powder or cement is placed in the container - it will provide a rough surface. Then add paint, which will give the finished mixture the desired color, and varnish (it will make the emulsion more plastic). Now all that remains is to add water and mix everything very thoroughly.
Important! The mixture should be well mixed. If there are lumps in the mixture, they will ruin the painted surface.
Do-it-yourself slate paint is applied in the same way as store-bought paint. It is given time to dry and harden before applying the chalk designs.
Don’t forget about careful use of finished surfaces. Despite their high wear resistance, slate panels are easily scratched by hard, sharp objects. Therefore, it is not recommended to draw on them with cheap “school” chalk mixed with sand and pebbles. And if you use soft crayons and wash the drawings with a soft, wet cloth, the slate coverings will decorate the interior for a long time and serve as a convenient field for creativity.
