Great idea adding a colored paint. I tint mine with antique linen or vintage photo distress ink. I like the idea of having a batch already tinted. Thanks for sharing!

I make mine with baby powder as I have found that maizena cracks. But now they have put cornstarch in the baby powder so going to try normal "adult" talcum powder and see if that works. I just loved the smell of the baby powder which also seems to have changed.

I’ve been making my own texture paste for a while now, based on this same recipe, but with the baby powder and it’s great. Was wondering though if you could do a quick video on the differences between all the different products out there, as that can get confusing! ie: texture paste, gesso, gel medium, mod podge (pretty sure I saw some vids on KZread about a cheats version of this too) and what they are all used for. Thanks for sharing ❤️

I have the ingredients to give it a try once I run out of the commercial brand I have. Can you do a video showing how you clean supplies after using various mixed media products? I am always concerned about putting things down the drain. Most products seem to be plastics that are bad for the environment or could possibly clog the plumbing.

I have made homemade texture paste, and it worked out very well. I used corn starch or baking soda in it as talcum powder has been outlawed (at leas the drug store varities) in the U.S. My challenge is even though I keep it in a small mason jar with the lid firmly attached it is always drying out.

Doesn't the PoP set up regardless, over time? Or does the glue slow it down? I'm really interested to know how long it stays useable...TFS!

Great looking forward to making this gesso soon bought an off brand and it was horrible and the wrong color plus thick (said white on the outside) I was not pleased with the product must have been on the shelf since 2000 😡. Thanks for sharing your home recipe.💗. And yes I took that mess back 😃

Bunnings sells gesso?!?!?? 🤯 also I’ve been reluctant to use Kmart for a cheap paint. Do you find it turns yellow and can bleed through yellow? I found that happened with The Reject Shop white acrylic paint… even a small amount mixed with top brand paint

They sure do and texture paste and mod podge and paints, quite a bit in their craft section. I haven’t had an issue with Kmart paints yet, I have a few different brands that I tend to use together so wouldn’t know if a specific Kmart one caused a problem, but haven’t noticed anything yet overall 💜☺️
Could you use a flour sifter to alter the texture of diy gesso?

They are not the same thing but you can use either one for this homemade gesso ☺️🩷

Plaster of Paris is a DIY-type of substance for filling cracks etc. or for making models using silicone moulds.
I would be very careful about using cornstarch in any craft, as it can attract mice and bugs that wouldn't otherwise be attracted to your craft area!
