Thanks so much for sharing this. I find most crafting products ridiculously over priced so videos like this is very much appreciated.
I made some with baking soda and it turned out great. I also bought small jars & added ink from re-inkers & now I have 6 colors of texture paste!!!!

Thanks so much. Live in Nicaragua in a beach town and had no idea how to make the paste. Now I do. Blessings!

Thank you, your recipe works awesome 💕
Wow! I paint on a budget so this is great information. Thanks for sharing Lynnea.
I made this following someone’s recipe and they used marble dust (from a hardware store. The marble dust was left over after making my own clear gesso for a project. I’ve also made this using baby powder (your recipe) and it worked wonderfully. The least expensive one was the one using baby powder (or any kind of talcum powder) and the most costly was the marble dust but it wasn’t very expensive. I think the bag said ‘crushed marble’ and I wouldn’t have had it on hand if I hadn’t already made the clear gesso which is really expensive if bought in a retail store. I love the way you gave the instructions - easy to follow, and now I’m gonna have to make some more because I didn’t store it in an airtight container so it became unusable. Great video, love. You have a brand new subscriber!
Love your paste tutorial.
Oh brother! Why didn't I see this before I paid $15.00 for some commercial paste! I have all the necessary ingredients in my studio! Oh well lesson learned and thank you Lynnea. I am trying it as a ground for oil painting. Regards from John in UK

Good job. You did that perfectly, talking to us through the process and showing at the same time- without anything added unnecessarily. Straight and to the point. Quick question, since I'm cheap and don't want to waste paint if I don't have to; what happens if you don't add the white acrylic paint to the mix?

Anybody knows how to make crackle paint?
Just starting to do artsy projects so very new to all of this. Two questions... Would mixing Elmer’s glue & corn starch - primary ingredient in baby powder - work? Could plain paste (no paint) be brushed over stencil adhered to project surface then painted over with light touch after it’s dried a bit instead of adding paint to paste? Really appreciate those of you who post videos, I’ve learned so much and doubt I’d ever have the nerve to do a video. Thank you.
This is great! Thank you!

Be aware some baby powders are just scented cornstarch, others are talcum powder. If you're using cornstarch-based baby powder, just buy regular cornstarch (like you cook with). Dollar stores probably carry cornstarch, not sure if they have talcum powder.

I usedcornstarch and it didn’t work. It cracked when drying
I bought 2.5 euro worth of industrial acrylic paste/goo in a tube and a gun for that. Its used in the wall corners to seal them. Doesnt smell bad, only a little while drying. It works like a charm. Some thorough mixing and you are good to go. Cheaper than the one in the video. However I think I will try adding some powder to make it more hard and moldable.
That's lovely!! Thank you sooo much!!
Thank you so much I’m really going to give this a go. Please stay safe and well too
I made a HUGE batch of this. 1. I keep it in a plastic container and it has kept very well thru out the weeks. and 2. Not only is this a great Texture for art work; I have messed up several time and it makes for a GREAT Eraser. I will be using this Texture for years to come

Thanks for sharing that Lynnea, you just saved me a lot of money :) great video, it would be nice to see you using it and seeing what effects it has. :)
I’m not normally a jealous person, except when it comes to diy. Elmer’s school glue, 77 cents - I’m my dreams! The very same bottle of glue will cost you $6.50 here in Australia, and that massive price differential applies to virtually any diy material. I’m thinking it might be worth considering a holiday just to get supplies, the savings on a years worth of supplies would doubtless pay for my airfare..... thanks for the great idea tho, it’s one I’ll be trying😊

This thick goop gives texture to a art journaling page. It is not gesso which is used to give tooth or a gritty texture to a painting project. You smooth texture paste through a thin plastic or brass sheet stencil with a faux plastic credit card or palette knife to make bumps on paper, hence "texture." If you apply it too heavy, it will develop cracks on your art journal page. If it takes longer than 15 minutes to dry, then it is probably has been applied too heavily also. She is not using the talc powder on body parts in this craft recipe and most people have the common sense not to breathe in any powder floating in the air, whether it is talc powder, cornstarch, baking soda or flour, however, I don't know about you, just sayin'. Thank You Lynnea for sharing your recipe. Just what I was looking for. smile! -- Addition -- break it down to its basic elements: Dried Elmer's glue is like a plastic and dried acrylic paint is like a plastic and real talcum powder is a ground mineral.

So u said it's used with stencils, which gives it a raised look. So can u not layer it slowly to say, build up a mountain range to paint? If not, what product do u use for that? Obviously not gesso.

@@christyray6493 You make a very thin layer on paper, otherwise it will crack if it gets bent, however, if you are adding it to an acrylic painting base on canvas board, it might be okay to go a little thicker. You would just have to experiment and see what you like. It would of course take longer to dry as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qIJnsLuvkpmYmaw.html

I want to use this over an air dry clay sculpture (sanded) to fill cracks and give better shape. Do you think this will crack once dry? Thanks x
Once this is complete and painted on the canvas what is the longevity of the art?
Great idea
Does this crack when dried? I assume you have to coat it with glue or collage medium to prevent that?
Easiest recipe: 1 part baking soda to 1 part of water or less depends on how thick you want the texture paste. I do a lot of steampunk bottles, it's the best texture, I do not use any glues in my mixture.
