SUPPLIES needed:
2 tbs. NON-SANDED GROUT I got mine at Lowes the smallest size was 1 lb. less then $5 and I have lots left. Maybe the lower half of the walls will be the next project!
1 cup PAINT I used acrylic the large 8oz bottle equals 1 cup (next time I may try latex paint from a cheap miss-tint I will show you why later...) get creative and use any color your little heart desires!
1 resealable CONTAINER with lid
1 awesome BRUSH! I might try a foam brush next time so I don't have brush lines
Carefully MIX until smooth as you can! My brother always said glitter was the herpes of crafts... I found its partner in crime... black paint! It gets everywhere! I recommend doing this outside in something you don't care to ruin!
Note to self... if you have little hands around.... Don't leave supplies unattended!
SCRUB table of surface you are painting.
Say HELLO to my LITTLE FRIEND! You can use regular sanding sheet if you don't have one of these. Apparently my husband loves me and used his SEARS card on buying this for us... I'm in LOVE! With my husband to! He is a great hubby!
Use rag to get the DUST off.
Start to PAINT her! YAY!
I did 2 COATS let it dry in between.
Note to self... If you have a group of pre-teens come over tell them not to take the backs of there eraser less pencils and scratch the table.
Good thing you thought ahead and kept leftovers in sealed container. Easy to do touch up. Just wish I used durable paint, like the miss-tints at my brother's work. He could have added more color to the pre-tinted paint for me for a perfect match for the same price of the acrylic.
Take CHALK to the table! WOW! THIS IS FUN! Use a wet black rag to clean. Note to self paint can bleed if wet... again I am regretting acrylic paint.
Love my table now! looks like a school class!
Kinda rustic look
Messages to family in the morning YAY!
