how ot make a mint colored (or any colored) chalkboard

Oh how I love colored chalkboards friends. And I love the color mint. Ooooh, and gold frames. This mint chalkboard is the result of those three loves.

how to make colored chalkboard paintTo make one, just collect an old painting with an awesome vintage frame. Then mix together 1 cup any color paint (I’m partial to mint) and 2 tablespoons of unsanded grout. Mix well. Paint the back of the painting with your paint-and-grout mixture. Flip the painting around so that the chalkboard is facing forward.
