Hey Friends,
Create with Chalk Couture -NO ARTISTIC TALENT NEEDED!
Really!
A few weeks ago I was introduced to a new crafting/home decor idea that has so many creative options and produces such beautiful home decor and accessories that I could not wait share it with all of you! The best part is you don’t need to know how to hand letter (I just cannot make it look pretty) or draw. There is NO ARTISTIC TALENT NEEDED! I’m relatively new to the company but after purchasing and using the products, I didn’t want to wait a minute longer to tell you about them!
Crafters, DIY’ers and Entrepreneurs (yes, entrepreneurs) meet Chalk Couture!
WHAT IS Chalk Couture?
Chalk Couture products consist of Chalk Paste, Chalk Couture Transfers and Surfaces. They also have inks which become permanent when heat set. These products allow you to create gorgeous decor (and more) in a few fast and easy steps. The transfers and chalk paste can be applied to a ton of different surfaces including prepared wood, chalk board, glass, mirrors, metal, even walls-lots of options. Inks become permanent once heat set and can be used on glass (think mugs, dishes etc) and fabric (think t-shirts, pillows, totes, clothing) and other surfaces!
The Chalk past is a more liquid version of regular old chalk, its a creamy consistency which allows it to penetrate the transfer. The transfer is similar to a silk screen and they can be used over and over again! There are a ton of designs and your can mix and match them. The colors are gorgeous! They also sell surfaces- framed chalk boards in assorted shapes and sizes. You can check them out HERE!
Here is a very small sampling of some of the transfers and surfaces available.
Simply choose your transfer, your surface and either chalk or ink colors and you’re ready to create something beautiful!
Here’s a video that shows you how to use the paste!
Did I tell you the best part? You can use your surface over and over again if you choose. You see, chalk paste is not permanent (unless you seal it with a spray acrylic).
Lets say you purchase one of the larger magnetic chalk boards in a gorgeous frame and put it in your kitchen. And let’s say that you find a beautiful holiday transfer that you want to display. You create that gorgeous holiday image on that chalk board and enjoy it through the holiday season. Now, when the holiday is over, you’re not stuck with a Christmas image that you have to pack away till next year, because all you need do is wet the chalk paste and wash it off and you’re free to create whatever design you choose next. Just pick another transfer and start over. Celebrate a holiday or special life event or just create a beautiful piece for your home. All it takes is literally a few minutes. Of course, if you want to make it permanent, just spray with clear acrylic spray! It’s that simple! How’s that for versatile!

Incredible, right? A gorgeous example of how you can use Chalk Couture!
This gorgeousness was created by a fellow “Chalker” Gail Fussell Barker, on a chalkboard at the hair salon she goes to! This is a perfect example of one of the many ways you can use Chalk Couture. Sprayed with clear sealer this can be a permanent piece of art for this salon-OR-unsealed it can be changed up with the seasons–just wash it off!
What an awesome way for businesses to display sales and special events–so many ways to use this stuff!
I love that Chalk Couture provides videos on how to use their transfers, chalk paste and inks with complete instructions on how to use them!
