3 questions: 1. Is it absolutely necessary that this DIY modeling paste is used immediately after it is made, or can it stored then used some time later (such as maybe a week later)? 2. If an interested in trying sculpture painting involving different colors, would you recommend: (a) making a batch of white model paste, scooping up the needed amount and blending it with the desired color of acrylic paint, or (b) making smaller batches of the DIY modeling paste, but substituting the desired colors instead of the white acrylic paint used in the video? 3. Any recommendation on how to make the texture of the DIY modeling paste as smooth as possible (and not grainy)?
Great questions! 😉 1. You can make it and store it in an airtight container. A glass jar would work best. But try to use it as soon as possible because it becomes less moist/thicker with time. 2. I think option "b" would work fine because adding additional colored acrylic paint will change the texture, if even slightly. Although ...you may just want to try one small batch of option "a", because it may just be a better texture for your sculpting needs. 3. The texture of mine was not grainy. Mix it well and keep it covered in between scooping. But again.. try a small batch of option "a" and see if the adding the additional acrylic paint for coloring will smooth it out more to your liking. Happy Sculpting! 😀
Wish I saw this video yesterday, that looks perfect and easy. I just wasted a lot of time using modge podge and plaster, took a lot of work to make it plyable
@@RustAndStardustDesigns Haven't tried personally but if you try, I would seal the dried item with a coat of GLUE and allow that to dry thoroughly. It should help fortify it.
It depends how thick you apply it. 48 hours for sure, if it's a thin layer (like smearing it using a regular thin stencil)... Thicker than that.. for sure after 1 week it will be fully dried. Of course, it's more meant for decorative purpose rather than everyday use, as the exposed surface may become brittle over time.
@@MocasWorld Oh, alright. I understand... but it'll brittle over time? I was planning to stick to this recipe for good, to continue making textured art. Is it not recommended for making such pieces, especially if you're gifting it to someone? And thank you for the quick response! Was so helpful.
@@tehreemghazanfar6822 I think it should be fine as a decorative piece.. in other words tell the person(s) you are gifting it to that it's extra special and to handle with care.. "put it on a shelf and let it look pretty and don't touch it" LOL
Hi, I see you mentioned talc in your recipe, but your Amazon link is to cornstarch baby powder. In America, talc used to be used for baby powder until a major class action lawsuit to the biggest manufacturer resulted in them using cornstarch for baby powder instead. Can you specify if you used talc, or if you used American baby powder/cornstarch. The result might be different depending on which you used. Thanks! I look forward to trying this recipe but I don't want to screw it up. 😊
@@ClaudiaX2 In the video I used mineral talcum baby powder (purchased in Europe) but I also use cornstarch regularly and they are the same consistency. Please just note that the talc/cornstarch measurement is 1/2 US cup as stated in the description section below the video (I used European utensils/measurements in the video) and for best results store tightly closed in a glass jar. Here is my follow-up video giving tips and various uses and answering frequently asked questions. th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c3fYojDCC4eOtaSR
If you store it very tightly in a GLASS jar, approx. a week. But it really depends on the room temperature. I recommend making small batches at a time, for best results. Please note the recipe in the description section is 1/2 US Cup (I used european utensils in the video).
I have not tried it with clear glue. The white glue may give it a different texture/finish than the clear glue, but you could try it. You can also use colored acrylic paint instead of the white acrylic paint. Let me know how it turns out.
Thank you so much for the measurement! Usually vids say "x parts to y parta " etc. N i didn't understand so my parte came out sticky n stretchy. Can i do flowers with this on canvas? Is it thick enough ?
@@irma6156 You should be able to pipe it onto a sturdy canvas to make flowers. Allow it to dry thoroughly. If you plan to paint the flowers afterwards, I suggest GENTLY brushing on a coat of GLUE ONLY, as an added layer of protection...and if possible, stick to using Acrylic paint for best results. Please note the US measurements for the recipe in the description section. I used European utensils in the video. HaPpY crafting!
I will try this method. One question i have about this is this: Does the fragrance of baby powder stay in the finished product once everything is mixed? I will still try this method very soon!
I didn't notice the smell after I mixed it. It depends on how strong the baby powder scent is in the first place. But after application of the paste then it drying and any further crafting, like painting it, any BP scent would likely be faint at most.
It is not flexible when dry. The thinner the dried edges or peaks the more brittle it seems to be. The flatter or smoother you apply it, the better. I've also used it as grout/adhesive for my DIY Air Dry Clay Tile projects and the parts exposed are fine. I would say it's meant to be applied, dried and can even be painted/varnished. But the idea is that it is for decorative purposes and not to be bothered once you are done with the project. Try a batch and see how it works for your project. Let me know how it turns out. I used quite a lot of it to create a smooth surface in my DIY Decorative Pumpkins th-cam.com/video/WEj8u0zfOgY/w-d-xo.html
I've never tried it with plaster of paris, but for my recipe, you could also substitute cornstarch. The only way to know for sure if/how the plaster will work, is to try it... Maybe make just a small batch just to test it. If you do, let me know if it works for your project. Best of luck!
I use it for crafting only... to create a smooth surface, or create a textured surface, it can also be used like grout/filler or adhesive for air-dry clay tiles, I also use it with stencils to create 3D (raised) patterns.

I'll keep you posted as to which one worked best for it. The one for the chair needs to be able to bend alittle so it fits along the frame. That is why I was looking at modeling paste since those look bendable and not like other types of mediums like epoxy or something that dries hard like a rock.

I only make small batches and use it up within a week 2 at most, so it's hard to say how long it will last. It dries a little over time, even in an airtight container (because you have to open the container during use) so I recommend making it in small batches, storing in a glass jar and using as soon as possible, for best results.
Should be long lasting as long as the canvas or board is not mishandled after you apply it... or exposed to weather elements... In other words protect it like you would any nice artwork/craftwork.
Hi...Of course, it depends on the surface it is applied to and the amount of paste applied. I would say try at least 24 hours without blow dryer and approx. 5 minutes with blow-dryer on cool or warm setting. Hope that helps.
Really grateful for the useful information! I’ve made one but it’s not as thick as shown in the video. tried pouring more powder in but didn’t work. How can I make it as thick as yours? Thank you!❤
Not sure why yours is not as thick, if you're using the same ingredients and measurements. Allow it to rest overnight maybe. The mixture tends to dry out as time passes by. Let me know if that helps.
@@MocasWorld Thank you for your reply! I poured more powder and today it dried out 😂! I’ll try again later and wait overnight this time to see the result.
@@MocasWorld The second time is a success! It went great and worked beautifully. Yes I store it in a glass jar and have used it several times. Thank you so much for the practical advice! ❤️
The paste is quite durable, as long as you handle your finished project carefully (like a special piece of art), it should last a long time. From my experience, the paste works well on canvas. The only way to know for sure is to just try it. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. ❣️
Hi yes... After it has dried thoroughly, you can paint with acrylics. I did a new follow up video with tips for best results, and showing examples of the different ways I use and finish the paste for different projects. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=5kowZ01QWR_ubwFW
I used "crafting" glue, but to me it's more or less like Elmer's glue. I think generic crafting glue is sold in larger quantities and generally less expensive than Elmer's, but price may depend on where you purchase it.
I had to actually Google Lippan Art, because I am not familiar with it. I have used the modeling paste as grout/adhesive for DIY Air Dry Clay Tiles that I made to use for a project, so maybe it would work. Have a look at this video if you'd like... The part where I grout the tiles to the frame (@ about 11 mins into the video) th-cam.com/video/ZFj9753ZtB4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ySoRcZbSz375Cw8Q But ultimately, I suggest you make a batch of the modeling paste and try it. If you do try it, please let me know how it turned out.
I've never tried it personally but if it's shallow, I think it may work. Just handle with care as it will likely be delicate. Please let me know if you try it.
The paste is meant to be completely dried after use.. I've never personally done it the way you are suggesting, but you could certainly add some color(s) to it while it is still naturally wet, then allow it to dry completely.
I've not tried carving into it but I suggest doing a few layers of the paste, drying in between each layer so that you have a sturdy foundation to work with...and yes it can be sanded. Just have a mask handy and cover your work area for the dust, use very fine sand paper and be gentle. Actually if you have a lot of smooth dust residue (no chunks) you could reuse it in your next batch of paste. Let me know how your project works out.
@@azeramirez2954 I think it should work as long as you let the piped flowers dry thoroughly before handling them. Store the mixed paste covered tightly in a glass, to prevent it drying out too quickly. Let me know how it turns out if you do it.
Thanks so much for this! One question how does this handle paint once dry? Could you paint watercolour over it the way you could paint on plaster? Is this similar to plaster of paris? thank you!
I haven't tried painting watercolor on it.. I've only used acrylic paint. But... after the paste is fully dried, I do apply a thin layer of plain crafting glue (the same type that was used in the paste mixture) as a layer of protection , then let it dry fully before painting. Let me know if you try that and how it works with the watercolor paint.
@@sabiatanu6403 Did you use grams or cup measurement? It's HALF CUP (by USA measurements) as you'll see in the full recipe in the description section below the video. (I used European measurements in my video) If you used 1 FULL US cup and are still able to stir your paste right now, just add another 1/3 cup crafting glue and another 3 tablespoons of Acrylic Paint and stir it well. That should balance out the consistency. For best results store it in a glass jar tightly covered. If your paste is already too dry and brittle (you CAN'T stir it anymore) it's better to just make a new batch, otherwise the texture is going to be inconsistent. The complete recipe and directions are in the description section. Here's my follow up video with tips and various uses for the paste.

Corn flour is likely more absorbent than baby powder or cornstarch, and you would have to use the really finely grounded one, to have a similar texture. The only way to know for sure if it will work, is to try to make a small batch to test it. If you do, pls let me know how it turns out.
Hi Patty! Thank you for letting me know about the link 🙏That item is likely no longer available, so I have updated the link to a talc-free version, because yes... most are now talc-free. Talc-free should work fine.
Is adding water a no-no, cause I added some to my baby powder mix because it was to thick and chalky and it became like starch with water, you know, when ya hit it, it's hard like rock but when stirred gently it's very runny. Why did this happen when I didn't use starch, but used baby powder which is talcum I thought???
Correct.. adding water is a no-no because it changes the chemical make-up and effectiveness of the paste. Most baby powders are made with some cornstarch. Whatever consistency you get after using the recipe exactly as it is, should work. But if you are doubting it, I suggest testing a very small amount of the paste on your project and allow it to dry completely. If it's too brittle or not to your liking, then add more glue AND acrylic paint in equal amounts. Start with 1 teaspoon of each. Then test it again. Please use a mask so as not to inhale the dust from the powder, when mixing and if you sandpaper the project.
@MocasWorld OH thank you so much, I will be trying it again following your steps and will hope that works better 😊 Question: Do I pull the stencil off while the paste is still wet or world it be better to let it sit for a minute or two? I thought that pulling it off right away, was the cause of it spreading out and not holding its shape. Thank you fellow crafter.
@@jean-63 The paste shouldn't be runny. If it is runny after mixing it, allow it to thicken for an hour or so. (I'd say the consistency is little bit thicker/drier than toothpaste). Store it in a tightly covered glass jar if you have one, because it naturally dries out over time. Since it shouldn't be runny like I said, you should be able to apply it using a stencil then carefully remove the stencil right away. The object you're stenciling should lay flat and let it remain in that position till the paste dries. (Don't fight gravity you know 😉)
From my experience, no, it's not flexible when it dries. And it's best not to handle it too much after the project is completed. The paste will however adhere to just about any surface, even curved ones.
If you are applying it to a surface, as 3D flowers, that should be fine. Best to make a small batch (store in an airtight glass jar if you have one) then try it for your project. Pls let me know how it turns out, if you try it.
Hi.. it really depends on how thick it is applied and where. Externally 1 application about 24 hours or a lot less if you use a blow-dryer. But I do think it's best air dry naturally if time allows. I also used it as grout/adhesive for my clay tile project and I let it sit for approx. 5 days, just to make sure it was naturally dry. Here's that video if you'd like to see how thick that application was. th-cam.com/video/ZFj9753ZtB4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V2FJ-lGGSuB8rpAU
I want to use paste for my art class but needs to dry within a half hour to complete a two hour project. I read that plaster of Paris dries fast? I’m new to pastes. Thank you
@@RainDropps Don't know about plaster of paris. But this paste should dry fast if you use a blow-dryer... But I would test different thinknesses (a thin layer vs thicker layer) and see how long it takes if you blow-dry it. Good luck. Let me know how the project goes.
I was going to buy some golden fiber paste but it’s the best part of 50 euros a pot 😢I am playing with textures to create a sand effect on a canvas. Was thinking to add a little real sand to this?
I suggest doing a small batch of modeling paste, then separate it into maybe 3 parts and do a test adding different amounts of sand, to see which give you the best texture. Please let me know how it works out.
It should as long as the bottle is free of grease... if you notice in the video I did it on the plastic cap. I've used it on various other surfaces as well. The key is to let it dry thoroughly. And I use it for crafting, so once the project is done I don't handle it much.
Depends on how thick the petals would be... and if you are laying/building it on a flat surface or stand-alone. Probably best to just make a small batch (maybe 1/4 of the recipe) and try it. Let me know if you do it and if it works or not. If it doesn't, I've used air-dry clay to make thick 3D flowers. But mine are all attached to a flat surface.
HI...I only use it for "thin" layers... mainly to smooth out surfaces... fill cracks... and create 3D/raised look. And even then, depending on the project, there may be hairline cracks once dry. But I just use a bit more paste to fill the cracks, then allow that to dry. I suggest if you are wanting such thick layers #1 Create a batch of the paste to test it #2 Apply in thin layers, drying thoroughly in between, until you get to the desired thickness. If you do try it please let me know the outcome.
By "pop" do you mean Plaster of Paris? I don't know what that consistency would be, or if it would get too dry or harden. If you try it, let me know the outcome please. You can try using cornstarch instead of talcum... add small amounts until you get the right thickness.
@@GM-to7nd Since it's "homemade" it's hard to know for sure how it will hold up over a long period of time. Since you'll be selling your paintings, I suggest buying/store-bought and keep your receipt should anything go wrong within a certain period of time. Hope you sell a lot! 😉
Yes it works on canvas. IF there are any hairline cracks when it dries, you can easily/gently fill them with more paste, then dry thoroughly before applying anything else. Just try not to manipulate it too much. Let me know how your project goes. 😄
Used mainly for color and helps with texture, but you could to make it without the acrylic and see if it works for your needs. Let me know how it goes, if you try it without.

Hey! Idk if you still respond to these but, I’d like to use this to fill and smooth out hole/gaps in a large 3d print sculpture I made. Would this be good for that?
Hi.. sounds like it would work for your project, just allow it dry completely after application and be gentle if smoothing it out after drying. Of course the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do let me know how it turns out, in case someone else has your same question.

The only way to know for sure is to try it. It's durable for crafting. But there are things that can affect the the final outcome/appearance of dried texture paste.. for example, the type of paint used, the type of brush/applicator used, the amount of pressure and technique used while painting. I personally use the paste for decorative crafting only and once it is painted and dried, I try not touch or manipulate the object too much.
@@milotorres4684 you mean on canvas? After it is completely dried, you could use a small paintbrush with the paste to GENTLY fill the cracks. Then allow that to dry thoroughly. That may be tedious if there are really a lot of cracks but I think thats the best solution. I have not personally used it extensively on canvas. You could also try putting a little extra acrylic paint when mixing a new batches paste, and try it. Depending on how thick you're applying it, it may be better to do 2 thin layers drying thoroughly in between. Trial and error. Let me know how it goes if you are able to solve the issue, in case someone else has the same problem. Best of luck 🍀
I've never tried that, but you could try a small area on an interior wall first. Don't think it would work so well exposed to the elements outside. Maybe start with thin layer and let it dry thoroughly (a few days depending on temperature in the area). If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Best of luck!

Minor hairline cracks may form, depending on the surface it's used on and the amount used. Once dried properly, you can fill any cracks with additional modeling paste, then allow that to dry thoroughly.
Da... dar recomand să faceți un lot mic de pastă și să o păstrați într-un borcan de sticlă ermetic, dacă aveți unul. Pasta tinde să se usuce puțin în timp.
That's a great question!... I think it may work... but it may need a few layers built up for it to be sturdy .. maybe dry each layer first before applying the next layer.. Please let me know how it turned out if you try it.
Drying times depend on how thick you apply it and the temperature of the room. 48 hours for sure, if it's a thin layer (like smearing it using a regular thin stencil)... If it's used thicker than that, for sure after 1 week it will be fully dried. This particular paste is meant for crafting & decorative purposes (to resurface and/or create texture and can even be used like adhesive/grouting for air-dry clay tiles). As far as using it with molds, I have not tried it in moulds to create a solid individual object. I've used it with regular stencils, and it worked well.
Hi. . this modeling paste is not pliable and sort of delicate when dry I use it mainly for resurfacing craft objects and even as adhesive/grout for my clay tile projects.

Hi.. I only use it for decorative crafting and once I use it for a project, I try not to manipulate it in any way.

REŢETĂ: 1/2 cană 120 de grame de pudră pentru copii 1/3 cană/80 ml Crafting Glue 3 linguri/44 grame vopsea acrilică albă INSTRUCȚIUNI: Se amestecă bine ingredientele și se păstrează într-un recipient ermetic (de preferință din sticlă). Cel mai bine este să folosiți fiecare lot cât mai curând posibil, deoarece amestecul își va pierde umiditatea în timp. NOTĂ: Folosiți o mască de față, pentru a evita inhalarea pudrei, în timp ce amestecați pasta și în timp ce o șlefuiți, dacă este necesară netezirea pastei uscate. Timpii de uscare depind de cât de gros îl aplicați și de temperatura camerei. 48 de ore sigur, dacă este un strat subțire (cum ar fi mânjirea cu un șablon subțire obișnuit)... Dacă este folosit mai gros decât atât, cu siguranță după 1 săptămână se va usca complet. Această pastă specială este destinată în scopuri de artizanat și decorative (pentru a reapariția și/sau a crea textură și poate fi chiar folosită ca adeziv/chit pentru plăci de lut uscate la aer). Nu l-am încercat în matrițe pentru a crea un obiect individual solid. L-am folosit cu șabloane obișnuite și a funcționat bine. Am inclus link-uri în secțiunea de descriere de sub videoclip, dacă doriți să cumpărați ingredientele de pe Amazon.

Do you need the acrylic paint and can I use other colors?
@@GmGibby Yes the paint is an important component of the recipe, and yes you can use different color acrylic paints.
3 questions:
1. Is it absolutely necessary that this DIY modeling paste is used immediately after it is made, or can it stored then used some time later (such as maybe a week later)?
2. If an interested in trying sculpture painting involving different colors, would you recommend:
(a) making a batch of white model paste, scooping up the needed amount and blending it with the desired color of acrylic paint, or
(b) making smaller batches of the DIY modeling paste, but substituting the desired colors instead of the white acrylic paint used in the video?
3. Any recommendation on how to make the texture of the DIY modeling paste as smooth as possible (and not grainy)?
Great questions! 😉
1. You can make it and store it in an airtight container. A glass jar would work best. But try to use it as soon as possible because it becomes less moist/thicker with time.
2. I think option "b" would work fine because adding additional colored acrylic paint will change the texture, if even slightly. Although ...you may just want to try one small batch of option "a", because it may just be a better texture for your sculpting needs.
3. The texture of mine was not grainy. Mix it well and keep it covered in between scooping. But again.. try a small batch of option "a" and see if the adding the additional acrylic paint for coloring will smooth it out more to your liking.
Happy Sculpting! 😀

Have you tried using this in finely detailed silicone molds? Wondering if it would dry thoroughly, or break too easily.
@@RustAndStardustDesigns Haven't tried personally but if you try, I would seal the dried item with a coat of GLUE and allow that to dry thoroughly. It should help fortify it.
Thank you for this. What's the curing time for this particular mixture? Please do share!
It depends how thick you apply it. 48 hours for sure, if it's a thin layer (like smearing it using a regular thin stencil)... Thicker than that.. for sure after 1 week it will be fully dried. Of course, it's more meant for decorative purpose rather than everyday use, as the exposed surface may become brittle over time.
@@MocasWorld Oh, alright. I understand... but it'll brittle over time? I was planning to stick to this recipe for good, to continue making textured art. Is it not recommended for making such pieces, especially if you're gifting it to someone? And thank you for the quick response! Was so helpful.
@@tehreemghazanfar6822 I think it should be fine as a decorative piece.. in other words tell the person(s) you are gifting it to that it's extra special and to handle with care.. "put it on a shelf and let it look pretty and don't touch it" LOL
@@MocasWorld Haha, alright, thanks a bunch for the guidance! 💜
Hi, I see you mentioned talc in your recipe, but your Amazon link is to cornstarch baby powder. In America, talc used to be used for baby powder until a major class action lawsuit to the biggest manufacturer resulted in them using cornstarch for baby powder instead.
Can you specify if you used talc, or if you used American baby powder/cornstarch. The result might be different depending on which you used.
Thanks! I look forward to trying this recipe but I don't want to screw it up. 😊
@@ClaudiaX2 In the video I used mineral talcum baby powder (purchased in Europe) but I also use cornstarch regularly and they are the same consistency. Please just note that the talc/cornstarch measurement is 1/2 US cup as stated in the description section below the video (I used European utensils/measurements in the video) and for best results store tightly closed in a glass jar. Here is my follow-up video giving tips and various uses and answering frequently asked questions. th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=c3fYojDCC4eOtaSR
I'm gonna try this
What is the shelf life/ how long does it keep after making? Going to give this a try. Thanks for sharing.
If you store it very tightly in a GLASS jar, approx. a week. But it really depends on the room temperature. I recommend making small batches at a time, for best results. Please note the recipe in the description section is 1/2 US Cup (I used european utensils in the video).
@@MocasWorld Thank you for the reply.
Can clear glue be used and then add different colors of acrylic paint?
I have not tried it with clear glue. The white glue may give it a different texture/finish than the clear glue, but you could try it. You can also use colored acrylic paint instead of the white acrylic paint. Let me know how it turns out.

Thank you so much for the measurement! Usually vids say "x parts to y parta " etc. N i didn't understand so my parte came out sticky n stretchy. Can i do flowers with this on canvas? Is it thick enough ?
@@irma6156 You should be able to pipe it onto a sturdy canvas to make flowers. Allow it to dry thoroughly. If you plan to paint the flowers afterwards, I suggest GENTLY brushing on a coat of GLUE ONLY, as an added layer of protection...and if possible, stick to using Acrylic paint for best results. Please note the US measurements for the recipe in the description section. I used European utensils in the video. HaPpY crafting!
ThankYou SoMuch for Yr Recipe/ Video....
I will try this method. One question i have about this is this: Does the fragrance of baby powder stay in the finished product once everything is mixed? I will still try this method very soon!
I didn't notice the smell after I mixed it. It depends on how strong the baby powder scent is in the first place. But after application of the paste then it drying and any further crafting, like painting it, any BP scent would likely be
faint at most.
Excellent job!
Aww.. thank you so much for the positive feedback. I truly appreciate it 🙏❣️
Thank you for your tutorial video
My pleasure!
The baby powder they sell now has corn starch instead of talc. Will that work? I know baking soda is supposed to work too
Yes it should work, but the consistency may be just a tiny bit different.
Did it work?
Hello, thanks for your post. Do you know if it cracks when it dries? I mean is this paste flexible?
It is not flexible when dry. The thinner the dried edges or peaks the more brittle it seems to be. The flatter or smoother you apply it, the better. I've also used it as grout/adhesive for my DIY Air Dry Clay Tile projects and the parts exposed are fine. I would say it's meant to be applied, dried and can even be painted/varnished. But the idea is that it is for decorative purposes and not to be bothered once you are done with the project. Try a batch and see how it works for your project. Let me know how it turns out. I used quite a lot of it to create a smooth surface in my DIY Decorative Pumpkins th-cam.com/video/WEj8u0zfOgY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a ton for the video. Can I use plaster instead of baby powder?
I've never tried it with plaster of paris, but for my recipe, you could also substitute cornstarch. The only way to know for sure if/how the plaster will work, is to try it... Maybe make just a small batch just to test it. If you do, let me know if it works for your project. Best of luck!

Thanks for information
I was asking the different use of texture paste and modeling paste? Thanks
I use it for crafting only... to create a smooth surface, or create a textured surface, it can also be used like grout/filler or adhesive for air-dry clay tiles, I also use it with stencils to create 3D (raised) patterns.

Great questions❣️... The paste works well to create a 3D effect, but I have only ever used it on top of other surfaces. The only way to know for certain if it works for your needs is to make a small batch and test it. It should work well with a palette knife as you asked.

alright thanks!
How long does this keep once prepared obviously in some airtight container? THKS!
I only make small batches and use it up within a week 2 at most, so it's hard to say how long it will last. It dries a little over time, even in an airtight container (because you have to open the container during use) so I recommend making it in small batches, storing in a glass jar and using as soon as possible, for best results.
Is it long lasting if I use it on a canvas board or MDF board? I hope it won't take off after some time
Should be long lasting as long as the canvas or board is not mishandled after you apply it... or exposed to weather elements... In other words protect it like you would any nice artwork/craftwork.
thank you for the video, i just have 1 question
how much time does it take to dry with and without hairdryer?
thank you❤
Hi...Of course, it depends on the surface it is applied to and the amount of paste applied. I would say try at least 24 hours without blow dryer and approx. 5 minutes with blow-dryer on cool or warm setting. Hope that helps.
Really grateful for the useful information! I’ve made one but it’s not as thick as shown in the video. tried pouring more powder in but didn’t work. How can I make it as thick as yours? Thank you!❤
Not sure why yours is not as thick, if you're using the same ingredients and measurements. Allow it to rest overnight maybe. The mixture tends to dry out as time passes by. Let me know if that helps.
@@MocasWorld Thank you for your reply! I poured more powder and today it dried out 😂! I’ll try again later and wait overnight this time to see the result.
@@lolydia-ed3orIt's also best to store it in a glass jar if you plan to use the batch it several times.

How long does it last if you do a sculpture ln cancas ..will it brreak ?
The paste is quite durable, as long as you handle your finished project carefully (like a special piece of art), it should last a long time. From my experience, the paste works well on canvas. The only way to know for sure is to just try it. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. ❣️
Thank you 😊

Does Elmer’s glue work instead of craft glue?
I used "crafting" glue, but to me it's more or less like Elmer's glue. I think generic crafting glue is sold in larger quantities and generally less expensive than Elmer's, but price may depend on where you purchase it.

Can we use these paste for lippan art by pouring these in cones ?
I had to actually Google Lippan Art, because I am not familiar with it. I have used the modeling paste as grout/adhesive for DIY Air Dry Clay Tiles that I made to use for a project, so maybe it would work. Have a look at this video if you'd like... The part where I grout the tiles to the frame (@ about 11 mins into the video) th-cam.com/video/ZFj9753ZtB4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ySoRcZbSz375Cw8Q But ultimately, I suggest you make a batch of the modeling paste and try it. If you do try it, please let me know how it turned out.
I know this video is older so im wondering if youve tried it in a silicone mould yet? Ty!
No.. I've only used it with stencils and use it resurface or smooth out uneven surfaces, fill gaps, and like grout/adhesive for DIY clay tiles.
can you put this in a very shallow silicone lace mold?
I've never tried it personally but if it's shallow, I think it may work. Just handle with care as it will likely be delicate. Please let me know if you try it.
Can i use this to make watercolor ground??
The paste is meant to be completely dried after use.. I've never personally done it the way you are suggesting, but you could certainly add some color(s) to it while it is still naturally wet, then allow it to dry completely.
Hi there - when it's dry can it be carved with a craft knife and or sanded?
I've not tried carving into it but I suggest doing a few layers of the paste, drying in between each layer so that you have a sturdy foundation to work with...and yes it can be sanded. Just have a mask handy and cover your work area for the dust, use very fine sand paper and be gentle. Actually if you have a lot of smooth dust residue (no chunks) you could reuse it in your next batch of paste. Let me know how your project works out.
thank you so much! @@MocasWorld
Do you think I can use this for piping a 3d flower?
@@azeramirez2954 I think it should work as long as you let the piped flowers dry thoroughly before handling them. Store the mixed paste covered tightly in a glass, to prevent it drying out too quickly. Let me know how it turns out if you do it.
Thanks so much for this! One question how does this handle paint once dry? Could you paint watercolour over it the way you could paint on plaster? Is this similar to plaster of paris? thank you!
I haven't tried painting watercolor on it.. I've only used acrylic paint. But... after the paste is fully dried, I do apply a thin layer of plain crafting glue (the same type that was used in the paste mixture) as a layer of protection , then let it dry fully before painting. Let me know if you try that and how it works with the watercolor paint.
Thanks for the reply will do!@@MocasWorld
How can I soft the paste, if it is quite harder after making
@@sabiatanu6403 Did you use grams or cup measurement? It's HALF CUP (by USA measurements) as you'll see in the full recipe in the description section below the video. (I used European measurements in my video) If you used 1 FULL US cup and are still able to stir your paste right now, just add another 1/3 cup crafting glue and another 3 tablespoons of Acrylic Paint and stir it well. That should balance out the consistency. For best results store it in a glass jar tightly covered. If your paste is already too dry and brittle (you CAN'T stir it anymore) it's better to just make a new batch, otherwise the texture is going to be inconsistent. The complete recipe and directions are in the description section. Here's my follow up video with tips and various uses for the paste. Let me know how your project turns out. th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y5XBrU8HUogThajK
can we use corn flour instead of baby powder?
Corn flour is likely more absorbent than baby powder or cornstarch, and you would have to use the really finely grounded one, to have a similar texture. The only way to know for sure if it will work, is to try to make a small batch to test it. If you do, pls let me know how it turns out.
Really helpful 😊
The Amazon (US) link for the baby powder is no longer active. Does the baby powder need to have talc? Most are talc-free these days. Thanks
Hi Patty! Thank you for letting me know about the link 🙏That item is likely no longer available, so I have updated the link to a talc-free version, because yes... most are now talc-free. Talc-free should work fine.
@@MocasWorld thanks!
Is adding water a no-no, cause I added some to my baby powder mix because it was to thick and chalky and it became like starch with water, you know, when ya hit it, it's hard like rock but when stirred gently it's very runny. Why did this happen when I didn't use starch, but used baby powder which is talcum I thought???
Correct.. adding water is a no-no because it changes the chemical make-up and effectiveness of the paste. Most baby powders are made with some cornstarch. Whatever consistency you get after using the recipe exactly as it is, should work. But if you are doubting it, I suggest testing a very small amount of the paste on your project and allow it to dry completely. If it's too brittle or not to your liking, then add more glue AND acrylic paint in equal amounts. Start with 1 teaspoon of each. Then test it again. Please use a mask so as not to inhale the dust from the powder, when mixing and if you sandpaper the project.
@MocasWorld OH thank you so much, I will be trying it again following your steps and will hope that works better 😊 Question: Do I pull the stencil off while the paste is still wet or world it be better to let it sit for a minute or two? I thought that pulling it off right away, was the cause of it spreading out and not holding its shape. Thank you fellow crafter.
@@jean-63 The paste shouldn't be runny. If it is runny after mixing it, allow it to thicken for an hour or so. (I'd say the consistency is little bit thicker/drier than toothpaste). Store it in a tightly covered glass jar if you have one, because it naturally dries out over time. Since it shouldn't be runny like I said, you should be able to apply it using a stencil then carefully remove the stencil right away. The object you're stenciling should lay flat and let it remain in that position till the paste dries. (Don't fight gravity you know 😉)
Thank you @@MocasWorld for all your help, I appreciate your kindness 😊 🙏 ☺️
@@jean-63 My pleasure ❣️
is this flexible at all when it dries?
From my experience, no, it's not flexible when it dries. And it's best not to handle it too much after the project is completed. The paste will however adhere to just about any surface, even curved ones.
a question, can i use this paste to also make flowers?
If you are applying it to a surface, as 3D flowers, that should be fine. Best to make a small batch (store in an airtight glass jar if you have one) then try it for your project. Pls let me know how it turns out, if you try it.
How fast does this dry? Thanks for sharing.
Hi.. it really depends on how thick it is applied and where. Externally 1 application about 24 hours or a lot less if you use a blow-dryer. But I do think it's best air dry naturally if time allows. I also used it as grout/adhesive for my clay tile project and I let it sit for approx. 5 days, just to make sure it was naturally dry. Here's that video if you'd like to see how thick that application was. th-cam.com/video/ZFj9753ZtB4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V2FJ-lGGSuB8rpAU
I want to use paste for my art class but needs to dry within a half hour to complete a two hour project. I read that plaster of Paris dries fast? I’m new to pastes. Thank you
@@RainDropps Don't know about plaster of paris. But this paste should dry fast if you use a blow-dryer... But I would test different thinknesses (a thin layer vs thicker layer) and see how long it takes if you blow-dry it. Good luck. Let me know how the project goes.
I was going to buy some golden fiber paste but it’s the best part of 50 euros a pot 😢I am playing with textures to create a sand effect on a canvas. Was thinking to add a little real sand to this?
I suggest doing a small batch of modeling paste, then separate it into maybe 3 parts and do a test adding different amounts of sand, to see which give you the best texture. Please let me know how it works out.
Could I use cornstarch instead of baby powder,
Hi.... Yes cornstarch would work, and recommend storing the paste in a glass jar if you have one.
@@MocasWorld thank you so much
Can this be used on plastic bottle? It with adhere to plastic?
It should as long as the bottle is free of grease... if you notice in the video I did it on the plastic cap. I've used it on various other surfaces as well. The key is to let it dry thoroughly. And I use it for crafting, so once the project is done I don't handle it much.
Would this mixture hold it's shape if I wanted to use it to pipe flowers?
Depends on how thick the petals would be... and if you are laying/building it on a flat surface or stand-alone. Probably best to just make a small batch (maybe 1/4 of the recipe) and try it. Let me know if you do it and if it works or not. If it doesn't, I've used air-dry clay to make thick 3D flowers. But mine are all attached to a flat surface.
hey. does it crack if you use it in thick layers? like 7 to 10 cm? thank you
HI...I only use it for "thin" layers... mainly to smooth out surfaces... fill cracks... and create 3D/raised look. And even then, depending on the project, there may be hairline cracks once dry. But I just use a bit more paste to fill the cracks, then allow that to dry. I suggest if you are wanting such thick layers #1 Create a batch of the paste to test it #2 Apply in thin layers, drying thoroughly in between, until you get to the desired thickness. If you do try it please let me know the outcome.
thank you so much @@MocasWorld
Can I use pop instead of Talcum/baby powder?
By "pop" do you mean Plaster of Paris? I don't know what that consistency would be, or if it would get too dry or harden. If you try it, let me know the outcome please. You can try using cornstarch instead of talcum... add small amounts until you get the right thickness.
Can i sell paintings made with this paste? Or i should just buy one?
@@GM-to7nd Since it's "homemade" it's hard to know for sure how it will hold up over a long period of time. Since you'll be selling your paintings, I suggest buying/store-bought and keep your receipt should anything go wrong within a certain period of time. Hope you sell a lot! 😉
Can we put this paste on canvas for wall art . Does it Crack
Yes it works on canvas. IF there are any hairline cracks when it dries, you can easily/gently fill them with more paste, then dry thoroughly before applying anything else. Just try not to manipulate it too much. Let me know how your project goes. 😄
The acrylic paint It is necesary for the paste?
Used mainly for color and helps with texture, but you could to make it without the acrylic and see if it works for your needs. Let me know how it goes, if you try it without.
Is this the same as embossing paste?

Hey! Idk if you still respond to these but, I’d like to use this to fill and smooth out hole/gaps in a large 3d print sculpture I made. Would this be good for that?
Hi.. sounds like it would work for your project, just allow it dry completely after application and be gentle if smoothing it out after drying. Of course the only way to know for sure is to try it. If you do let me know how it turns out, in case someone else has your same question.

And also cover another set with eggshells and they have a metal look as well with texture .. here are the links #1 th-cam.com/video/WlhZGDJZ0lU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SS_Z8LrrPTviMfOL

Is there any chance of getting crack on painting if we use this type of homemade texture paste.
The only way to know for sure is to try it. It's durable for crafting. But there are things that can affect the the final outcome/appearance of dried texture paste.. for example, the type of paint used, the type of brush/applicator used, the amount of pressure and technique used while painting. I personally use the paste for decorative crafting only and once it is painted and dried, I try not touch or manipulate the object too much.
I used it in a large canva and it cracked a lot. Is there any suggestion to avoid that?
@@milotorres4684 you mean on canvas? After it is completely dried, you could use a small paintbrush with the paste to GENTLY fill the cracks. Then allow that to dry thoroughly. That may be tedious if there are really a lot of cracks but I think thats the best solution. I have not personally used it extensively on canvas. You could also try putting a little extra acrylic paint when mixing a new batches paste, and try it. Depending on how thick you're applying it, it may be better to do 2 thin layers drying thoroughly in between. Trial and error. Let me know how it goes if you are able to solve the issue, in case someone else has the same problem. Best of luck 🍀
Can i use it on the wall?
I've never tried that, but you could try a small area on an interior wall first. Don't think it would work so well exposed to the elements outside. Maybe start with thin layer and let it dry thoroughly (a few days depending on temperature in the area). If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Best of luck!
What is recipe to make molding paste?
@@marthareid9226 the recipe is at the beginning of the video but here it is again ...
1/2 cup or 120 gr Baby/Talcum Powder
1/3 cup/80 ml Crafting Glue
3 Tablespoons/44 gr White Acrylic Paint
I also included Amazon links below the video in the description section, if you want to purchase supplies there.
@@MocasWorld what crafting glue is it?
@@sunflower6877 regular white crafting glue. I included Amazon links based on location/continent (see flags next to links) in the description section below the video, if you prefer to get it there.
Pasta este făcută de dvs sau cumpărată , cum îi spune și de unde o pot cumpăra.
@@Camicamelia123 Bună! Îmi pare rău... a trebuit să folosesc google translate pentru a înțelege comentariul tău, așa că sper că a fost tradus corect. După cum puteți vedea în videoclip, fac eu pasta cu ingredientele așa cum se arată. Rețeta completă și instrucțiunile sunt în secțiunea de descriere de sub videoclip. Am inclus si link-uri pentru achizitionarea ingredientelor folosite, sub reteta in sectiunea descriere.
Does this crack when dry?
Minor hairline cracks may form, depending on the surface it's used on and the amount used. Once dried properly, you can fill any cracks with additional modeling paste, then allow that to dry thoroughly.
se poate folosi si amidon?
Da... dar recomand să faceți un lot mic de pastă și să o păstrați într-un borcan de sticlă ermetic, dacă aveți unul. Pasta tinde să se usuce puțin în timp.
Can you use this for masks
That's a great question!... I think it may work... but it may need a few layers built up for it to be sturdy .. maybe dry each layer first before applying the next layer.. Please let me know how it turned out if you try it.
@@MocasWorld will do! Thanks 😊
How long does it take to dry can it be used in moulds
Drying times depend on how thick you apply it and the temperature of the room. 48 hours for sure, if it's a thin layer (like smearing it using a regular thin stencil)... If it's used thicker than that, for sure after 1 week it will be fully dried. This particular paste is meant for crafting & decorative purposes (to resurface and/or create texture and can even be used like adhesive/grouting for air-dry clay tiles). As far as using it with molds, I have not tried it in moulds to create a solid individual object. I've used it with regular stencils, and it worked well.
Can i make a silicone mold?
Hi. . this modeling paste is not pliable and sort of delicate when dry I use it mainly for resurfacing craft objects and even as adhesive/grout for my clay tile projects. Here's my video on how to make durable silicone molds (at least one way) in my video my silicone mixture is good for larger/more dense objects. (There are other videos out there using it much thinner for tiny/small objects) Here's my link and there is a part 2 (the reveal) as well th-cam.com/video/jC63ecbcCIc/w-d-xo.html
Is it waterproof?
Hi.. I only use it for decorative crafting and once I use it for a project, I try not to manipulate it in any way. You can paint it, after you apply it to a surface, but I think even with paint and glue as 2 of the ingredients, it would deteriorate with water after it has dried. How quickly, only time would tell. Let me know if you do try it and the outcome, in case someone else wants to know.
Mine cracked when dry what did I do wrong?
@@mariaborrero8864 What did you use it for exactly?
Did you use grams or cup measurement? It's HALF CUP (by USA measurements) as you'll see in the full recipe in the description section below the video. (I used European measurements in my video) If you used 1 FULL US cup and are still able to stir your paste right now, just add another 1/3 cup crafting glue and another 3 tablespoons of Acrylic Paint and stir it well. That should balance out the consistency. For best results store it in a glass jar tightly covered. If your paste is already too dry and brittle (you CAN'T stir it anymore) it's better to just make a new batch, otherwise the texture is going to be inconsistent. The complete recipe and directions are in the description section. Here's my follow up video with tips and various uses for the paste. Let me know how your project turns out. th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Y5XBrU8HUogThajK
Is this also called texture paste?
Yes.... I've also used it as grout/adhesive from my DIY clay tiles and I've used it to smooth out certain surfaces. I included the links to a few of the project I used i on in the description section of this video. I use it fir crafting purposes only.
looks same but does not give that smooth texture...it's difficult to work with this
@@sapnayeolekar4156 That's a first.. Sorry to hear that. Did you use the exact same ingredients and follow the recipe exactly? Please note the baby powder is actually 1 full Half cup/4 ounces/120 grams.. NOT a full 8 ounce cup. Is that what perhaps caused the issue? For example .. If your mixture is too dry... add equal parts glue and acrylic paint starting with a teaspoon of each to your mixture. Mix well. If needed, add another teaspoon of each till you get a looser consistency. I did a follow up video to this one, giving tips and going over the various uses of this VERY versatile paste. Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1qQHp-zxwZCFt_4W
Can I make a mold from this?
Why did I just see your comment only now? So sorry! 🤦♀️The only way to know for sure is to try it. From my experience, this paste works best if you use some other material as the basis or structure then use the paste on top of that to resurface. If you do use it to make a mold, please let the community know how it turned out, here in the comments. Here is my follow-up video, giving tips and VARIOUS things I've used it for, so far. th-cam.com/video/umJ7aL6Yo-o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=nMdc5WOPbDKx9qRm
is modeling paste sandable?
Hi... great question. Just want to mention that I use it for mainly for crafting/art projects. That being said, I have only ever had to sand it GENTLY on a project or two, using VERY FINE sand paper. It creates a bit of dust, as the ingredients are lightweight to begin with. I suggest making a small batch of modeling paste and testing it out for your needs. Let me know if it works for you. 🤞

Is this archival?
I can't attest to it being archival, simply because I've only been using it for a short amount of time. However, so far the decorative projects that I've used it on, are still very much in tact... Keyword being "decorative" ... Meaning the items are not for everyday use, but untouched, hanging on a wall or sitting on a shelf. Hope that helps.
Hello
Can we use oil paint instead of acrylic paint?
I have not personally tried using oil paint. Acrylic paint is less expensive and more readily available. Let me know how it turns out of you try it.
Nooo!!! you absolutely CAN'T do that because the white glue is water based, you can't mix oil and water!!!
Thank you ☺️
Thank you for the positive feedback 🙏
@@MocasWorld I want try this paste in texture it's working good ?
@@traditionspoterie2266 Yes!... I make it often. It is very versatile.. I use it to create a smooth surface, to create texture, to fill cracks, and even as grout/adhesive for when I make clay tiles (like in this video for example th-cam.com/video/ZFj9753ZtB4/w-d-xo.html)
Thanksssssssssssssss!!!!!!!
So glad you found the video helpful!
Its good.. but i guess it'll take time to dry
@@riddhimasharma4267 Yes depending on how thick you applied it. You can help it along using a COOL blowdryer, but it's best to let it dry 24 hours so that you're certain it's dry. Then do hand with care after.

Rețeta în romănă vă rog
REŢETĂ: 1/2 cană 120 de grame de pudră pentru copii 1/3 cană/80 ml Crafting Glue 3 linguri/44 grame vopsea acrilică albă INSTRUCȚIUNI: Se amestecă bine ingredientele și se păstrează într-un recipient ermetic (de preferință din sticlă). Cel mai bine este să folosiți fiecare lot cât mai curând posibil, deoarece amestecul își va pierde umiditatea în timp. NOTĂ: Folosiți o mască de față, pentru a evita inhalarea pudrei, în timp ce amestecați pasta și în timp ce o șlefuiți, dacă este necesară netezirea pastei uscate. Timpii de uscare depind de cât de gros îl aplicați și de temperatura camerei. 48 de ore sigur, dacă este un strat subțire (cum ar fi mânjirea cu un șablon subțire obișnuit)... Dacă este folosit mai gros decât atât, cu siguranță după 1 săptămână se va usca complet. Această pastă specială este destinată în scopuri de artizanat și decorative (pentru a reapariția și/sau a crea textură și poate fi chiar folosită ca adeziv/chit pentru plăci de lut uscate la aer). Nu l-am încercat în matrițe pentru a crea un obiect individual solid. L-am folosit cu șabloane obișnuite și a funcționat bine. Am inclus link-uri în secțiunea de descriere de sub videoclip, dacă doriți să cumpărați ingredientele de pe Amazon.
