About FOLKART CHALKBOARD

FolkArt Chalkboard is a collection of specialist paints from Plaid, designed for crafters who want to create that distinctive chalky, matte finish on their projects. Whether you're making cards with a rustic feel, decorating scrapbook layouts, or adding texture to mixed-media pieces, these paints give you authentic chalkboard effects without needing actual slate.

This range includes chalkboard paints in various colours, such as Slate Grey. Crafters typically use these paints to add depth and character to cardmaking, create vintage-inspired designs, or bring a modern, understated elegance to their work. The matte finish is perfect for stamping over, layering with other mediums, or using as a base for further embellishment.

When working with chalkboard paints, allow adequate drying time between layers for the best results. A light sanding between coats can help if you're building up texture. These paints work beautifully on cardstock, wood elements, and other porous surfaces, so consider your base material before you start to ensure good adhesion and finish quality.
