I feel like this is one of those where they end their myth test with “Plausible.” The potential for a good project is there, I just don’t feel like I nailed it. It then says to rub lightly to remove the chalk.
That’s when I remembered why I probably got rid of every bit of chalk we had – it’s messy. Chalk in hand, I proceeded to slate the surface, as the directions stated, by rubbing the entire thing lightly with chalk. Technically, I still didn’t leave the house to get supplies.

Really?” Yep. It had to be something I might actually use in the end. There were a couple of interesting projects, but they were more inspiration than instruction.
There had to be actual directions to follow. Whatever I made, the supplies had to be in my house already. I looked at several others, but I had a few rules for myself. I went with the How to Mix Chalkboard Paint in any Color from A Beautiful Mess. I happened to find out about this while I was completely alone in the house, always dangerous, so I found a pin and joined the fray.
