Create Your Own Chalk Paint - Altered Box

Hello everyone,

Fairuz Fabiha here and welcome to the EC blog. Today I’ll be showing you how to have chalk paint effects without using an actual chalk paint by using EC products.

Today’s project is inspired by ‘Diwali theme’ that mainly came from the expressions craft August challenge mood board. 

For today I wanted to alter a small fruits-nuts box as a Diwali home decor.

So for the base, I’ve used a small wooden box.

At first I have used EC heavy white gesso to prime the base. Then I’ve used amber gold chroma burst along with white gesso to create an alternative of yellow chalk paints. Then I used the beautiful bloom stencil along with the diy blue paint (used teacup teal and gesso to make it) for the floral pattern. Finally added some pink details with the paint mix of white gesso and silk magic magenta chroma burst. For highlighting details, I’ve used soft glitter gold metallic paints.

These diy chalk paints are easy to make with the bright chroma bursts and gives a similar matte effect of regular chalk paints. These are perfect to use for home decor projects.

All of the products are listed down below along with the website link. 

Hope you enjoy the close-up pictures of today’s project along with the YouTube tutorial linked down below.
