Make Your Own Chalkboard Paint

Make Your Own Chalkboard Paint

1 Cup of latex house paint or acrylic craft paint 

1 TBSP of non-sanded tile grout

Mix together until there are no lumps.

Paint your surface with the mixture.  I advise using a small roller for a smoother finish.  A brush will give you some textured ridges when it dries (I used a brush). 

Let it dry completely.

Draw!  Yep.  That easy.

If you find the chalkboard surface is too rough once dried, sand the surface lightly with a fine grit sand paper, then, using the side of a piece of chalk, rub it across the entire surface of the board.  Wipe off the chalk afterwards.  This can help give you a smoother surface.
