The size of the cover paper is 23-1/2″ x 9-1/2″.

Thanks for the comment. This is meant to be a makeshift DIY texture paste designed for crafters to practice techniques with stenciling so as not to waste their “good” texture paste while practicing. 👍🏼

Thank you so much!!

Acrylic paint creates a resist effect when trying texture paste techniques with a stencil. To avoid the resist effect when experimenting, definitely use matte paint to make this “faux” texture paste. The paint doesn’t need to be good quality, because this is just a quick makeshift DIY paste to experiment with crafting techniques.

Keep at it and do it because you love it. You have lots of support here!😍

It doesn’t HAVE to be matte or color paint, but for BEST RESULTS use the matte white paint. The reason being is that matte white paint is best for experimenting with stencil and paste techniques… which is what this DIY paste is made for… Hope you have good success and good luck 😊

You are so welcome!

I would NOT use this paste in a piping bag. And yes, it does crack after a few months. This is meant to be a quick, makeshift paste meant for experimenting with stencil techniques (so you don’t have to waste your good paste on trying new techniques). Hope this helps!

I’m so happy to help! ❤️🤩

This takes a few hours to dry and it is NOT waterproof. This is just a basic makeshift paste that you can use to experiment with stenciling techniques so you don’t waste your good texture paste. Hope this helps.

@@SandpaperRoad Thank you, this helps. Was planning to use it on an exterior wall, but will think of an alternative now 🙂

Hello! The only one that washes off at all is the Elmer’s school glue. The rest remain waterproof. As for being “liquidy”, head back to the video and re-watch the section where I physically squeeze the glue out of each bottle. I discuss the “thickness” and “thinness” of each glue and how each glue flows out of the bottle. Some of this also depends on where you live and how old the glue is, as well, however. Hope this helps! 😊

@@SandpaperRoad thank you for your Reply👍

I found that it does crack after like a year or so.

You are so welcome! 😊

Thank you Thank you! 😊

You can try it and see, but I have the feeling that this makeshift paste will act more like an absorbent ground than a gesso when it comes to oil paints.

I’m glad this will help you. I use this for large projects, too. Plus its handy for trying new techniques because if I don’t like the result, I didn’t waste my good paste. Thanks for the comment! 🙂

Yes it will keep in an air-tight container, but not nearly as long as the “real” store-bought texture paste lasts. I think mine lasts around three or four weeks, in moderate temperature/humidity. Thanks for asking!

@@SandpaperRoad Aight Thankyou very much! great work

Thank you! You’re so nice 🙂

Yes you are correct. This DIY texture paste is only meant for experiments for papercrafters- trying out stenciling or mixed media techniques ahead of time before they use or purchase “real” texture paste. 😊

My mixture is a flop

Did you use a spray bottle to spray with water? Also keep in mind that this is for trying stencil techniques… not meant to REPLACE store-bought texture paste.

So what kind of binder beside of school glue to make diy texture paste for acrylic?? I am going to make a project but there is no art store in my town nor nearby. While purchasing online needs over a month for me to get the product 😭

@@uli6799any dollar-store brand white glue will do just fine. Doesn’t have to be from an art store. Any cheap white paint will be fine as well. This little DIY recipe I use is meant to be made with a few common things you might already have in your house. Hope this helps! 😊

@elizabethnetzer5633 - Hi! Here is a link to the foam on Amazon. Enjoy! amzn.to/3TkR3Bu

You are so welcome!

I am no expert, but I would assume it’s safe for children… all the individual ingredients are safe and non-toxic, although I wouldn’t necessarily let it get into the kids’ mouth or eyes. But for common allergies, if they can handle kids’ school glue and regular cheap acrylic paint without issue you should be just fine. Thanks for watching! 😊👍

Check your baby powder ingredients… some baby powders are “talc-free” or made with corn starch instead. This would most likely explain the issue.

You are so welcome! Glad you were inspired! 😊

This paste is just meant as a makeshift paste to try mixed media techniques without wasting your good quality supplies on trial-and-error techniques. This DIY paste isn’t meant to last a long time or perform like a good quality paste. I get cracking when I use it too. It just helps me practice techniques before I actually go ahead with them. Hope this helps. 😊

It does NOT hold up as well as regular modeling paste. Depending on how thick you spread it through a stencil, it can last up to 2 years without flaking off. But after that (and especially in dry climates), it WILL start to flake and peel. It’s really meant more for people to experiment with techniques without wasting your good quality modeling paste. Hope this helps, and thanks for the comment! 😊

THANK YOU@@SandpaperRoad YES THAT HELPS A LOT AND YOUR REPLY IS MUCH APPRECIATED. QUESTION: ONCE I SET THE DIY PASTE ON MY PROJECT AND SEAL IT WITH GESSO, GLUED EMBELLISHMENTS AND PAINT, WILL THAT PROLONG ITS QUALITY?

Actually, I can surely say “YES” - all the “toppings” definitely prolong the quality of this DIY paste. I just five minutes ago came across a card I made 5 years ago with this very paste (plus gesso, ink, paint, etc), and its quality is TRULY the same now as it was then. Good luck and enjoy! 😊

Just be mindful that this is NOT designed to be something that holds or bonds items together. It’s designed to push through a stencil and adhere to paper or cardstock. Mainly for paper crafting- to use in a pinch or for trying new mixed media techniques without wasting expensive texture paste during crafting experiments. Hope this helps, and thanks for the comment! 😊

@@SandpaperRoad Thanks, I'll keep that in mind

Oh wow! 😮

No, I haven’t, but I wouldn’t use it for that. I honestly don’t know that this “makeshift paste” would hold up like a paper clay would. Thanks for the comment! 🥰💕

You're very welcome! Thanks for the comment! 😊

Thank you so much! That means the world to me 🥰

I totally agree with everything you said. Well stated! And thanks for the comments 💕🥰

No, no, I wouldn’t do that at all. This is a makeshift homemade “mock” texture paste for trying out papercraft techniques- designed for crafters who aren’t sure if they want to spend the money on “actual” texture paste yet. Or for crafters who are trying new techniques and don’t want to waste their good texture paste. Not designed for walls at all. Hope this helps. 😊

I’ve never tried to make it without using matte acrylic paint, so I’m not sure if it’s “necessary”, but I imagine the compounds in the paint add a certain finishing agent that you wouldn’t get from just the glue and powder. Give it a try without the paint, and let me know how it goes! 😊

That is soooo smart! Thank you for sharing, and thanks for the comment 🥰😍🤩

Glad you like it! 🥰

Thanks! I love it too. I love the purple in combination with the blue and brown. 😍 Thanks for leaving a comment 🥰

You are so kind 🥰
