Homemade Faux Finish Paints

Does any one have a frugal alternative to the "suede" paint finishes? It seems to me there must be some kind of fine sand and a gel of sorts to keep the sand suspended in the latex paint. I hate being held hostage by the "designer" prices for paint and for textured finishes.

Is there a "glazing" recipe out there as well for those "faux" finishes? The colors offered are not my favorites. Thanks in advance.

I have experimented with creating the suede finish. I use satin sheen latex paint and mix baking soda into the paint. When applying use a cross hatch stroke.
