Homemade Paint
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.”
