How to Make Homemade Paint - Never buy paint again for kids! 3 ingredient DIY homemade paint recipe. Salt, flour, and water.
Equipment
Mixing bowl
Measuring cup
Funnel
Squeeze bottles (here are some neat ones!)
Food coloring
Flour
Salt
Water
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine even parts of water, salt, and flour. I use 2 cups of water, 2 cups of salt, and 2 cups of flour to fill up our medium size paint containers (as pictured).
Once fully combined, funnel the mixture into paint bottles.
Place small drops of food coloring in each bottle.
Shake the bottles to mix the paint.
Continue adding food coloring until desired shade is achieved.
Paint as usual! Paint will completely dry on paper.
Store the paint with the lids on top.
Paint will separate after sitting for awhile. Simple shake the bottles up again and they will be as good as new!
Notes
*Reader Tip: “I added little bits of water at a time after adding the colors to get a smoother consistency.”
