- Texture paste is really big in the crafting world right now. Today I'll show you guys how I make my own using Elmer's glue, acrylic paint, and baby powder!
View a card made with this here : sparkliiecreati...
8 years since you posted this video and just as valuable now! Thank you - this is exactly what I needed for my project!!!
Ingredients please?
@@myartmysoul She gave the recipe while she was making it. Justgthree ingredients - glue, white paint (vinyl or acrylic) and baby or talcum powder. I mean, I could have watched the video again to get her precise measurements but you can do that yourself. Have a great evening!😻
Its 2023 and this video is gold ✨️ to me. Thank you!
@@myartmysoul It's in the video.
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!!!!
Did you use baking soda instead of baby powder? Same amount as the baby powder?
@@rosegarden3831i have he same questin :(
. She said I made some with baking soda. Of course it's the same measurement or she would have told us the different amounts.
I also used baking soda..but it never dried..when i try to touch it after 30hour later..it never dried..do you know why?

This works. I made my first texture painting yesterday and I'm so freaking happy! Thank you!! Take love!❤️❤️❤️
Does it crack after time?
@@Newhome2024-k8x longs cracks were seen on my canvas but they looked like some new textures. So i loved it anyway.
Is it water proof? Elmo’s glue and baby powder… doesn’t seems to be water proof 🤷♀️
@@andressamonteiro1418 After the mixture is thoroughly dry (at least 24 hours would be best. Also to avoid cracks, avoid putting the texture paste on too thickly.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I find most crafting products ridiculously over priced so videos like this is very much appreciated.
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!
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
Thanks so much. Live in Nicaragua in a beach town and had no idea how to make the paste. Now I do. Blessings!
baking soda works great. its not grainy, you just have to stir it really well, I don't want my projects to smell like baby powder, which they do.
Would you mind sharing your recipe please.
@@shirleyclanton2730 1/2 Cup Corn Starch minus 1 Tablespoon
1 Tablespoon White Glue (like Elmer’s School Glue)
1 Tablespoon acrylic paint for color
I hope it helps. You have to make it like peanut butter consistency 😋🙂🙃🙃
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.
So like you said you use it with stenciling which will give it a raised texture. So can you not slowly layer it, say to build up a mountain range on a painting? If not what product do you use for that? Using acrylic paint
@@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. th-cam.com/video/vN3NYvb62iI/w-d-xo.html
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 wouldn't use anything talcum based. Talc has been link to Cancer.
I usedcornstarch and it didn’t work. It cracked when drying
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😊
Wow! I can't believe the price difference!!
Google using PVA glue instead, there are a few recipes that create similar results.
I use just cheap wood glue 🙃
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?
The paint helped to thicken without being gloopy. You could definitely try leaving it out - I just couldn't get the right consistency with just glue.
AGREED... GREAT JOB and without alot of filler info that isn't needed... Wish EVERY DEMO VIDEO CREATOR would take lessons from YOU. THANK YOU!
@@LynneaHollendonnerThanks for the extra tip her and a huge thanks for sharing the recipe, card making is definitely not cheap 😊
Anybody knows how to make crackle paint?
I've heard adding dish-soap makes the paste more pliable. Give it a try. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for this simple and direct video and recipe. Just made mine, looks all creamy and smooth, can't wait to try it out.
did it crack?
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.
Wow! I paint on a budget so this is great information. Thanks for sharing Lynnea.
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.
Alessandria J did you added white acrylic colour?
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
What's eraser??
Hello, I purchased my glue and baby powder at Dollar Tree where one can find the large size for a dollar each. Don't forget the baby wipes. Walmart has the large white acrylic paint at low cost. If you want texture paste a different color, use the paint color of your choice instead. Thanks for the video.

Hahahahahahahahaha ! This is SO CooooooL !!!
Thanks for sharing. Just viewing 3D painting ideas out here. Dare devil coming through to make 3D flowers in a shadow box for a sympathy gift. You made this look so easy ! And intimidating ! Here goes nothing for me. Thanks for sharing this.

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.
Thank you so much for sharing this. What a game changer is terms of cutting costs. Can't wait to try.
Thanks for the video. By the way, wetting the spoons for the glue and paint makes them slide out much easier.
Once this is complete and painted on the canvas what is the longevity of the art?
Probably best not to use powder if the ingredient is cornstarch (even though labeled talc) because artists have written that over time it will draw bugs.
I can tell it do.
Maybe varnish will help ? 😳🥺😭
About try your recipe! Excited.. thanks!
Lynnea...thanks for sharing this. I did one painting and it turned out beautiful. The texture was totally awesome. I also used coloured paint.
Awesome!!
Hey I was wondering if your painting cracked at all? I want to try but I’m a bit scared
@@OGm556 mine did not crack. I used it through a stencil onto a piece of cardstock.
Lynnea Hollendonner awesome! Thank you 😁😁
Thanks so much. Texture paste is really expensive. I'm so glad you shared this!
Hi, thanks for the video. How do you keep this paste from getting hard if you have to save it for later?
Thank you
Store it an air tight container like a mason jar.
Id like to see someone use the paste they make in the same video. I'm looking for some I can use to build up parts on my painting.
th-cam.com/video/TxAS0E2t6SQ/w-d-xo.html
I saw a lady use this with a stencil on the front of a Junk Journal .. looked just like the expensive kind of paste you buy.. she speed up the drying process with a hair dryer. She left this link so we could make our own.
Can I use different colors of paint I’m guessing because I’m using this for model building thank you anyways tho

Thanks
🤣 thanks!

Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. My personal choice (and this is just my opinion) is baking SODA. (Not baking powder). I've been using white acrylic paint, Elmer's glue and baking soda and it works beautifully. :-) Thumbs up!
is that bicarbonate of soda then?
@@slowef, I am so sorry! I know it's been two years since you posted your question and I am just now seeing it. Yes. You're correct. It is sodium bicarbonate, that is in baking soda. Again, sorry for not responding sooner.
Thank you so much for the recipe for texture paste . I will certainly be making some .
Thank you so much for sharing. I was going to go buy some today.
I use baking soda BUT looking for different ways. Baking soda is GREAT BUT it will yellow without the addition of white paint.... IF I am going for snow effects I use a lot of white paint, IF for base/mountain work I use a little white paint because I find the yellowing WILL pop through a lightly painted base and help adds texture to the natural colouring look
This is great to know! Thanks!!
@@LynneaHollendonner you are most welcome. I love stumbling on things without meaning too... Fake snow mixture turned into excellent DIY sculpt a mold too, gotta love when that happens lol
Does anyone experienced it cracking and falling of the canvas ??? Hope not a silly question 🤪
I'm hoping this is a good one, over a million views well done
Esta mezcla sirve para hacer los pétalos de texture art? He hecho varias mezclas y no mantienen la forma del pétalo 😢
Hi there! Can I use this for Oil painting?
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
hi...does it mean that I could use any acrylic color if I want my paste no white....e.g. I would like pink...could I use any pink acrylic color or mixing red and white plus all ingredients? Thank you!
Yes! You could use any color paint! Or keep it white and color it later with dye inks or liquid inks if you want! That's what I do so I can have any color I want!
well did it work? dont want it all cracked when it get dry
I think the glue prevents that. Other videos state it.
love the texture Paint and hot glue
Great video! Thank you! I got the idea; is it possible to exchange the baby powder for potato flour?
It really worked! saved my day
onethri Zoysa what did you use it on?
Thank you very much. Some other TH-cam videos showed the exact mixture as making homemade gesso, only added water too.
Thanks... Can i use the normal talcum powder?
Great! I’m a wanna be artist but I’m not that good and don’t like to spend lots of money on paints bc I’m cheap.😂 Thanks for the tip!👩🏻🎨🎨
Cheap is my middle name 😜
Is texture paste and chalk paste the same thing? I do crafts but I'm just learning about the chalk paste, and I also never knew about the texture paste. Would you mind commenting back to me to let me know if they are both the same? Please?
Thank you so much for making this video to show other Crafters how to do this homemade, therefore, saving more money that you can spend on other crafting supplies. Lol. 👍
So awesome, thanks for sharing I am going to try this for my mixed media artwork 😁💜👍
Did you try it? Did it get any cracks
Great tutorial!! Can you use this on vases (glass/ ceramic)? Also, can you paint over it once dry with acrylic paint?
Use marble dust from art store, it's cheap.
Can you find marble dust at Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart or does it have to be from an art store, cuz I don't have any art stores near me thank you
I'm glad you posted this, I not a fan of the scent of baby powder, I'll check out Home Depot or Lowe's - thanks!
Cornstarch instead of baby powder?
try it with white flour, or corn starch, it work for me.
what was the other ingredients that you used please ?
This is great! Will try it out- thanks for sharing
This is awesome! I was just about to buy molding paste but now this is what I’m gonna make! Does it harden up pretty good??
Do you think cornstarch would work in place of the baking soda, smoother...
Hi. I liked your video. But I didn’t get an idea that which purpose u made this batter? I mean how to apply or how to work with it??
Hello, thank you for this great video. Is texture paste same as modeling paste of textured acrylic ? Thank you
It's similar to modeling paste, but I use it through a stencil onto cardstock.
Hi there, I'm super excited that I found you! I've been hoping to find an easy budget friendly way to make this and wallah, I found it!! Thank you so so so so much for sharing! And now I'm a new subscriber!! Happy New Year 🙂
"Wallah" lol 😄😄😄😄👍
If you are going to do a canvas where the main body of it was a stucco building, home, xcetera oh, it looks like this would be absolutely super! Just trowel it around with a knife?
Yes exactly!!
@@LynneaHollendonner thank you for the video. I just did such a painting 15 minutes ago, waiting for it to dry. Of course I did not have your recipe, I just use a heavy body paint and kept having to mist it.
@@rodneyflynn3259 oh I hope it turns out well!!
I have a question does this dry?
hi! could you show us what you're using this for? thanks ...
You mentioned it being grainy when you used baking soda - It's actually baking powder (or, baking flower in the UK) not soda. That's why you had a grainy result! Nice job on your video! Keep up the good work. :)
Laurie Oliver thank you!!
.
theres no such thing as baking flower in the uk. its called baking soda or baking powder
You mean baking Flour ...
Actually you're supposed to use baking SODA, but you are supposed to mix the soda and water 1st which makes it dissolve which is what should be done 1st before anything with most mixing of ingredients. This way all of it gets dissolved. There is a baking powder here in the states and soda. But Google search doesn't show people making Gesso (pronounced -sounds like Jesso, not Guess-O. I made the same mistake calling it that when I was new to using it also lol) or texture paste with baking POWDER. in fact they say the soda actually is best for it because it works well with the other ingredients and I just made some and it came out awesome. And basically to make texture paste instead of Gesso, I assume you just use less liquid products...ie water, glue, or paint
Thank you ..i wish you would've done a test with it and give us the results
Very nice video. I want to know can I use this on lace molds or not? Is this paste flexible?
Does this crack when dried? I assume you have to coat it with glue or collage medium to prevent that?
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. :)
does it looks like cement when it dry
No. For me it is still creamy and that is how i like it. I have kept mine in a plastic container and it does not dry out
I’m thinking to trying chalk powder (calcium carbonate ) instead of baby powder. Maybe plaster pod Paris to try and see if I get. Crackle paste out of it
Really great, can I please ask what Elmer's glue is? sorry, I'm from Germany, I know Kleber but what kind of one is he? Best regards
Hi! Elmer's glue is a regular white craft glue we have here in the states. Any regular craft glue should work!
@@LynneaHollendonner Thanks 😍
Thank you, your recipe works awesome 💕
Hey instead of baby powder can we use regular powder...as well as I have foot powder which s fine powder ....thanks
What is regular powder?
l was thinking corn flour..it's sometimes used as a substitute for talcum powder..
How long will this last?? Like on the art??
Were you featured on home talk a couple of months ago making a giant pink flower with baking soda, glue and paint mixtures? Your voice sounds the same as the person on that video.
I wasn't - maybe I have a voice double out there!
@@LynneaHollendonner Wow! You must have a "voice double"! Lol I had watched the hometalk video then your video right afterwards. I would have sworn that was your voice on that video. 🙂
@@scootermom1791 that's too funny!
which one is better plaster or talc powder in making modelling paste?
Is there any alternate for acrylic paint? Can i use my white sukara poster paint?
I've only used acrylic paint. If it's as inexpensive as acrylic, there's no harm in trying!
Lynnea Hollendonner great! Thank you 🙏🏻☺️
Will this crack and drop off? Or is it really strong?
Hi thank for teaching .can use texture techniques for cover may room?
Hi! Can I use cornstarch instead of baby powder? And is it okay if I don't add any paint to it initially??
Please wear a mask when measuring and stirring in baby powder, Talkum powder etc. You don't want to get it in your lungs. Great video btw.
Definitely going to try this .btw love from Pakistan ❤
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???
I used this recipe and the texture cracked after it dried. I finally spent $14 and bought the real thing. It worked.
And what is the real thing ? Link ? 😃👍🏼
Great, would have liked to see how this self made paste then actually turns out when put to use...?
Can I use cornstarch instead of baby powder? I love that this is simple and not expensive. Chalk Coutoure was $10.99-$12.99 for 3 ounces😢
thanks for That. it is very Helpful to experiments that kind of Gesso paste. i think my Paint's smell like a baby even it's Dry :)
How long does it take to dry? And does it crack or flake?
True😁
Muito bom parabéns e obrigado por compartilhar com a gente
Você sabe me dizer quais os materiais, por favor
No mention of using plaster of Paris?
I used plaster of paris.
Can we paint it when it's already dry? If we can what kind of paint should we use?
Glue all is what I've heard. It's more pricey than School glue but still cheaper to make than buy a jar of gesso and or texture paste. Thanks for sharing
Love your paste tutorial.
Thank u so much for sharing very low cost texture paste
Mod podge is basically PVA glue (elmers) thinned down, save the $. We have the same name, pronounced the same but spelled with an (I). Not often seen. Need to make a video of how you use your potion :)
Can corn starch be used in place of baby powder?
I would have liked to have seen this applied on a stencil, paper etc...and the effect when dried.
th-cam.com/video/ZH1RDYdiAuM/w-d-xo.html
there ya go
Will it work on clear plastic?
Is the baby powder cornstarch based or talcum based please?
I wonder if this will work with chalk paint too? I see all those pots of thick paint that crafters stencil with and it looks great.. but definitely NOT budget friendly at all. Those pots of chalk paint are very expensive. Do you think it will work on chalk paint? Thanks!
I honestly don't know. I haven't heard of chalk paint and I don't have any experience with it. I don't do any painting. I use this paste through a stencil onto paper to make cards.
Nice Idea.Can one use wood glue as an alternative of white glue?
I`m sure you can :))
