Here we’re making our own paint with just four simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • Food Coloring

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix equal parts flour, salt, an warm water. Once combined, transfer desired amounts into separate, smaller containers.
  2. In each container, add a few drops of food coloring and thoroughly mix.
  3. Use paint brushes (check our our DIY Paintbrushes) to start creating your very own masterpiece!

Tip: Paint mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
