DIY Chalk Paste 

You can smear a small smount of mod podge on your stencil to seal the edges. You can also wipe a chalk wax on the wood to reduce spread.

Thank you so much!!! I cannot believe how flawless this method was. Lately I've been having major bleed through issues and I gave this method a try...it's so easy, so quick and as you say, easy on the arms!!!!

❤️ great tutorial! I will be making some chalk paste tomorrow

Great idea! I have tried the paste you suggest and it works. I just wish my homemade stencils were not so sticky.......but they work well! : ) I loved the results and will continue experimenting with other stencils. Thank you for your honesty.

Just made my first batch of paste and transferred a cute red truck with stars flying out of it for 4th of July. Thanks so much for the tips on how to diy chalk paste.

So funny I ran across this today. I have that clay and was planning to add it to paint to give it a try. Now I know it works. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I’ve been searching for a recipe, bcz chalky couture is simply too expensive.

I love your video. Your instructions are very clear. I want to try chalking but thought the prices were crazy. Then I came across your video. LOVE it. Now I just need to find your site and check out your stencils. Yep, I have a cutting machine but sometimes it's just easier to buy some. LOL.

I love this idea. I'm going to try it. Thanks so much for the idea. Have a blessed day

Love this.. Making some tommarow👍

Thank you, I ordered my healing clay from your link.

This is fantastic. Thank you!

This is a very good idea. Hope you sell the paste too :) a little bit cheaper than the competitor and you will get a lot of customers like me :)

I am super excited about this. New subscriber! I was super disappointed when I bought some stencils and I found out how expensive chalk paste was. I'm a newbie to the crafting world so I need all the knowledge and help and advise I can get. So this will work also on screen stencils too? And you mentioned that for example you want the rooster a darker red you let this dry then go over it again? I apologize for all the questions just want to learn. I appreciate your knowledge . If I let it dry using a regular reusable stencils and go over it again will it peal off without problem ? Have you had any problem cracking or pealing sing this mixture . Again sorry for the millions of questions lol this is new territory for me. I am greatly greatful for your help

@Our Country Designs Can you use this in a chalkboard refrigerator? I would like to change out the designs for the Holidays, could I possibly “erase” it or wash it off and create the next design? Thank You, so much for the great video!

Why not use plaster of Paris? Kinda confused why bentonite clay?

Thanks for video it's very helpful, but I have to ask, did you mean to make it backwards or is it my dyslexia? 😕

Are you using just a regular stencil? Or a silk-screen stencil?

Can you use this on a silkscreen stencil and can you use a craft acrylic paint?

Sweet

Amazing!

I plan to try this recipe using washable paint to see if that works for using on chalkboards to be able to wash off later. The chalk couture paste is removable whereas the ink is permanent. I want to create a recipe that is removable like e chalk couture paste.

Whats the difference in Indian healing clay versus Chalk Tique. I'm new here just trying to figure out the paste. Thanks so much. I'm from NS

How long will it last if you store it already mixed? Did you make the stencil of buy it somewhere?

So by using washable paint instead of this type of paint, its just like the Chalk Couture paste. I tried it and it really works!

Great tutorial. How long will this last in a closed container?

Can u use this on fabic?

Why not use calcium carbonate like in chalk paint but just use more of it?

Could you not just make a chalk paint, but make it thicker with something like Paster of Paris?

What is the shelf-life of the homemade chalk paste?

Do you make mesh stencils or just regular stencils?

@our country designs can you add share the link on amazon for the clay you used

Great video and very informative, but the backwards stuff is making me crazy ;)

Can you save what you don't use or do you have to make it every time you want to use it?

What is your website for purchasing designs

I noticed in a comment you said that it cannot be washed off with water ? I wish I had read that first does that mean we cannot reuse the same chalkboards or we just have to use a different medium to take it off

Do you need a wider squeegee for larger spaces in the stencil, like the chicken?

Would this work with the chalk couture transfers?

Have you continued to use your chalk paste on signs? Does it remove with water? Thank you so much for the tutorial, I don't typically do signs but I might give it a shot.

Is this paste erase-able on a chalkboard??

Can you use any paint

Can you add the name of the clay

Can you please tell me if you can use another product in place is the Aztec mud .. ? I can’t seem to find ...

Can this be used on canvas?

What do you use to finish? I have been using this method since I saw this tutorial with amazing results except when I use black text on white. I have been using polyurathane finish but black always bleeds

Have you attempted to make the ink for fabrics?

I just came across your video. Is this paste erasable or permanent and can you use DYI Chalk paste with silk screen instead of cutout vinyl?

does the chalk paste just give a thicker look to the paint vs using just chalk paint?

Ya found out they took that Aztec mud you have off the market due to having mold or something like that in it. But that is in Europe where I live. Sure don’t want to put this on my face lol

Can you use a stencil more than once?

Is this waterproof and how do you seal it?

Can you use it on chalk board and it comes off without staining?

Can you wash this off like Chalk Couturw?

New to this so don’t mind my ignorance here, but how did you reuse that stencil when it completely ripped to pieces when you pulled it off?

What is the difference between original and version 2 clay will version 2 still work ?

Does your stencil have mesh in it or is it just vinyl cut on machine? TIA.

Does it wash off?

What is your stencil made from? Contact paper?

What other paint can be used? Thank you

Have you tried this with chalk couture stencils? I

What was the main ingredient as couldn’t see it as it’s back to front

windMILL :D

What's the name of the clay

Do you use anything to seal your design once it’s complete?
