NEW part 2 video here for more awesome ideas! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGeqn2yqp9KUa9k Fine talc powder: amzn.to/3RZ3owb Calcium Carbonate: amzn.to/4azLXtr There are no “exact” measurements for this recipe, which I mention in the video, because if you start with a thicker paint, you add less and vice versa. I give a suggested *starting point* for use with *acrylic* craft paint of 2 parts powder to 1 part paint. You can also add tiny amounts of water and it won’t hurt the opaqueness if your paint gets too thick. Even a little shake into ANY kind of paint will add more "veiling" power to that paint. Happy crafting! Regarding concerns about talc. Johnson and Johnson lawsuits relate to talc migrating up into the vagina. Obviously, that is not the application here for chalk paint. The issue of asbestos-containing talc stems from the mining of the two naturally occurring minerals, which often are found in close proximity on the earth’s surface. Unfortunately, companies were unaware in the 1960's- early 1970's and were mining from contaminated mines. *Today's talc is routinely tested for asbestos. Cosmetic talc is 96% pure, and medical talc 98% free of asbestos* J&J just as easily could have put a warning not to use it on your baby's private parts. They continue to sell it everywhere on the globe except the USA and Canada, only because they were sick and tired of lawsuits. Cornstarch is GMO, and will also migrate into the vagina and I am fairly certain there will be consequences from that. As a side note, *simple rice starch (powder not flour),organic unscented cornstarch or arrowroot powder is best for your baby's bottom area!* To keep things in perspective, saw dust from wood is listed as a carcinogen and linked to cancer. I don't agree with J&J's cowardly removal of talc. They knew it didn't pose a danger when used correctly. The USA still allows it's use in tons of our facial powders! It was a stupid move and has fueled misinformation and hysteria. However, *don't go buy a bag of talc off online. It needs to be medical grade, which is what was in the baby powder!* Always wear a certified N94 mask when doing anything with airborne particles. For more information please refer to these articles: www.asbestos.com/news/2020/03/10/fda-asbestos-cosmetics-testing/ ehs.oregonstate.edu/asb-when www.asbestos.com/exposure/short-term/

[@dorisjimison7590]

35 years ago, as a professional make-up artist, I learned about making pancake make-up. Take a look at the ingredients that Westmore used to make the first pancake make-up. They needed something that would not melt under the hot studio lights. In checking his formula, it amazed me that he just took a paint formula and made it into the make-up of the Golden Hollywood era. His product created the velvet complexions on screen. So, chalk paint also does that, cause it is the same ingredients. So, the comment of "painting your face" actually fit what he was doing. He used a solid pigment that he dispersed into a liquid medium and added his talc, too. He would apply the foundation to the starlet, let it dry, and buff it. The buffing took away anything that would appear scratchy on film. Their complexions had to be perfectly smooth, like when gesso is put on a canvas. I think you can see where I am going here. So, sanding your chalk paint is the same as when Westmore would "buff" his clients foundation. It was activated with water and would dry on the actresses, not like a mud mask, but they felt it's tightening power. So many of the actresses would swipe the foundation from him for their own use. It led him to start producing it in larger quantities and the rest is history. I will use the calcium carbonate to make my paint. I have some awfully beautiful mineral pigments that I want to turn into paint. I'll "buff" with the lightest sandpaper, mimicking what Westmore did to complexions and make my paint so smooth. This is fun. Thank you for posting your experiments.

Holly, I am sooooooo thankful for this demo. It was very informative. I have been coating my glass with a thin layer of mod podge before painting which means extra drying time and I haven't been totally pleased with the results.

[@Lisa-sv3vl]

It’s really hard to find talc powder but I did try this trick....calcium carbonate which you can get from Amazon in a I pound bag for $6.88. Works great!

[@HotHumblePie]

Do you have a hard time finding baby powder talc? The $.99 Only Store and the Dollar Tree and pretty much every discount store sells it here. Do you live in the USA? Calcium carbonate is what they put in real chalk paint. It’s essentially Tums, the ant acid 🥰😘, but people want to buy things in the store when they’re there, for the most part. That’s why it’s quick easy and cheap chalk paint 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@1stGood-Girl]

What I researched and found to be the True ingredient in those expensive chalk paints Was Calcium Carbonate. I didn’t find mine cheap like you. I had to buy “Fluker’s Calcium For Captive Reptiles”. 2oz jar for about $7. “Chewy” online retail keeps sending me cards asking how my lizard is when I order pet supplies lol. I think it’s 2 tablespoons dissolved in water and mixed with a sample size tin of paint...that’s all ya get! I was thinking that must be why Annie Sloan charges $32 for a little can at my fav vintage shop. It is a smooth finish tho, I noticed heavy streaks with the talc (more water needed?).

[@Lisa-sv3vl]

Connie Jane here’s what I got from Amazon, www.amazon.com/LD-Carlson-Calcium-Carbonate-Capacity/dp/B0064GZPPO. It’s still only $6.88 for a one pound bag. It’s lasting forever!

[@HotHumblePie]

Connie Jane yes, you can add more water to reduce steaks. Also keep in mind that my chalk paint recipe is a faux Chalk paint recipe meant as a nice substitute for those people who can’t afford the real brand-name chalk paint. It is perfect for fun crafts, however if you were doing furniture or kitchen cupboards I would recommend investing in high-quality real chalk paint. In saying that, many of the subscribers on this thread said they have done exactly this! Painted their furniture and their kitchen cupboards and they love the results using talc! 😯😜I find Waverly to be streaky as well. In general I just find chalk paint to be very streaky. You can spray a bit of water on the surface and brush. This will reduce the streaks with both my chalk paint recipe and the brand name chalk paint using calcium carbonate. 🥰❤️

[@HotHumblePie]

Just wondering, if you were to rub calcium carbonate on your skin, is it leaving a white film behind or is it completely transparent? Baking soda for example makes paint feel like chalk paint, but doesn’t actually create a high coverage one coat chalk paint. Just wondering what calcium carbonate is like? If you scroll up this thread one of the commentators said she uses calcium carbonate plus a little bit of talc. She feels this creates the perfect chalk paint. I have not tried it.

Thank you for demonstrating the differences, you cosmetic background definitely gives you the right knowledge to improve on craft formulations! I think makeup is just another craft medium!

Have a beautiful day!🥰❤️🌻🌻🌻

[@HotHumblePie]

Hi Michelle! Yes I made up a mason jar full and it’s still going. A little bit goes a long way! You can also add a little bit of water to it if you feel it’s too thick. That really makes it nice and smooth and easy to work with. I have one jar that is mixed with primer from Home Depot. Then I have another jar that’s mixed with apple barrel white acrylic paint. I use the one with primer when I want something to really stick hard. Things like glass. I just used the acrylic version on metal buckets and it worked brilliantly! I sealed it with a bit of watered down mod podge so that the mod podge wouldn’t be so thick that it would drag and smudge the paint. It makes the mod podge glide nice and easy. More gentle. Hope that helps💕❤️🥰

Cosmetic talc is 96% pure, and medical talc 98% free of asbestos. For more information please refer to these articles: www.asbestos.com/news/2020/03/10/fda-asbestos-cosmetics-testing/ ehs.oregonstate.edu/asb-when www.asbestos.com/exposure/short-term/

[@melissaclary9046]

Thank you so much for the tutorial! Unfortunately I went out and bought baby powder made with talc and corn starch. Willl this not work at all? Could I just change the ratio?

[@mottasu]

I am relatively new to You Tube videos for crafting but I was very impressed with your diy’s! I can’t wait to get started on my own projects!

[@HotHumblePie]

Yay! It’s so much fun! 🥰😘

Thank you so much. I've tried other methods and was left with a hot mess. You're awesome!!!!

[@lindahansen9413]

Thank you so much. I have made my own chalkpaint but with a bit more wather 💧💦 because I used it on my teracotta plantholders so they got a whitewash look like in French country style. 💁🏼‍♀️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

Can't wait to try this out.

[@vickiemorgan62]

Thank you so much I could never afford the chalk paint that you buy.. I have the items already here at my home can't wait to try it.. you have helped a lot of cafters to save money.. God bless and stay safe.

I love your style! This video was awesome! Now I can afford chalk paint! 🤩

[@cj4666]

Hi Holly, well you just saved me a ton of money! I was getting ready to purchase this " MIRACLE PAINT" that was 50$ a gallon that's supposed to cover in one coat. Well now I know why! It's the very same thing as talc in paint ! I'm so excited to save $ on my next big project 😉! God bless you hon! And of course I've subscribed to your channel and will share with all of my friends and family! 👍👍👍

Thanks for showing us the different ways and things to use I like the Talc also

[@HotHumblePie]

I was showing you what not to use! You can only use the talc if you want nice results! 🤪😁

Hot Humble Pie Right

[@robinpappas8943]

WOW!!!! Thank you for sharing this. I have made it with baking soda before and after it dryed it left a white film so to speak. And very rough. At first I thought that I just didnt mix it very well but I really couldn't have mix it anymore than I did.

[@HotHumblePie]

Baking soda is very gritty. You might as well add sand in your paint, because neither adds any more opaqueness. As with anything you add to paint you have to mix it very well, but it definitely dissolves better than baking soda! Thanks for watching! 😘🥰

[@jackiesnewnormal7649]

Wow, it’s so hard to believe it’s been 2 years already. I’m so proud of you! ♥️. I got off track and almost forgot why I came to this particular video.! Have you done homemade chalk paint with Plaster of Paris? I’m ordering the talc powder to make your recipe of course, 🥰 but I’ve seen another KZbinr who I watch that paints furniture use the Plaster of Paris. Thank you!

[@HotHumblePie]

Hi! When I create my chalk paint I seek to use the least toxic methods. Unfortunately as I mentioned in the video, plaster of Paris works well but it is toxic to breathe in and touch. Since I work with so many things that are not healthy I try to eliminate as much as I can. I also made another video last summer. The link is in the comment I pinned at the top of this video. There are more choices for homemade nontoxic chalk paint. Thanks for watching Jackie!

[@jackiesnewnormal7649]

@@HotHumblePie I thought I remembered you saying something about it but couldn’t remember and I agree, if given the option why wouldn’t we. I saw the other video from last summer as well that’s why when she was saying in her video that she “thinks she came up with this idea of making chalk paint” I commented that one of my favorite KZbinrs had already done a couple of videos of making chalk paint but did it slightly different. Anywho, since loosing my husband my memory hasn’t been the same but it’s getting better. Thank you for getting back to me 😊

[@lifemix5710]

I went to buy chalk paint and couldn't believe how pricey it was and left it at the store. Totally going to try your recipe for this. TFS

Hello I just found your channel. Wow I love the way you explain everything. I tried the plaster of Paris. With all the lumps, and same coverage as no additives. What a let down. So thank you for this information.

[@HotHumblePie]

gina lanning i’m so happy you found it helpful! If there are any lumps with the talc it easily comes out as you’re brushing so it’s a great recipe! Thank you for watching!🥰😘

Thank you thank you thank you.. I am was having issues finding chalk paint in specific colors without spending tons of money, one company I will call it pixie dell, has the colors I need but too expensive, your research and recipe has certainly given them a run for their money. I have used your recipe to paint kitchen noodle boards, signs, furniture....this stuff is amazing! Thank you so much!

Wonderful! Thank you! xxx

[@mummideerist]

I haven't tried your method yet, but I have mixed acrylic paint w/unsanded grout to make a chalkboard wall & it works great.

[@HotHumblePie]

Yes, I have used powdered grout as well. That also works but you can’t store it because it hardens up and dries as it supposed to do. I will be making a new video soon with other options for people.

[@carolirvine7663]

I have been making chalk paint for years with acrylic paint water and plaster of Paris - I will try the talc but the plaster works great

[@HotHumblePie]

Yes, that will work but more caustic to skin and toxic to breathe in, so I avoid.

I use plaster of paris and white paint, 1/3 plaster of paris 2/3 paint i then tint to whatever colour I am wanting and I find this works very well and stays put. I also seal ith clear wax or white wax

[@HotHumblePie]

Plaster of Paris is a common suggested ingredient online, but I wanted to give crafters an easier ingredient to get a hold of, and a much less toxic ingredient, since most of them craft frequently. Make sure you wear a mask, gloves and goggles when working with Paster of Paris! Thanks for watching! :)
