Chalk Paint Is For The Birds

Did I get your attention with the title?

No, I am not going to tell you that chalk paint is bad!

In fact, there is not much I don't like about it (except maybe the price). I have used chalk paint on so many things other than furniture. Here is another example...

I bought these less than lovely 1970's bird plaques at a yard sale for 50 cents each...

They are made from a heavy plastic. And, yes, you can paint plastic with chalk paint.

I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White.

It took 2 coats...

 Using a wet paper towel, I rubbed the high spots to antique the plaques.

Here are some examples before and after antiqueing...

The finished product...

See...chalk paint really is for the birds!
