8 years since you posted this video and just as valuable now! Thank you - this is exactly what I needed for my project!!!

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 for sharing this. I find most crafting products ridiculously over priced so videos like this is very much appreciated.

This works. I made my first texture painting yesterday and I'm so freaking happy! Thank you!! Take love!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for the recipe for texture paste . I will certainly be making some .

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

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!

Thanks for this simple and direct video and recipe. Just made mine, looks all creamy and smooth, can't wait to try it out.

Wow! I paint on a budget so this is great information. Thanks for sharing Lynnea.

Thank you, your recipe works awesome 💕

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

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.

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?

Love your paste tutorial.

Great video! Thank you! I got the idea; is it possible to exchange the baby powder for potato flour?

Thanks so much. Texture paste is really expensive. I'm so glad you shared this!

So awesome, thanks for sharing I am going to try this for my mixed media artwork 😁💜👍

This is great! Will try it out- thanks for sharing

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 🙂

I've heard adding dish-soap makes the paste more pliable. Give it a try. Thanks for the vid.

Thank you, for making it very easy to follow. 😊

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

Thank you so much for sharing. I was going to go buy some today.

About try your recipe! Excited.. thanks!

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.

love the texture Paint and hot glue

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. USA New-England

Lynnea...thanks for sharing this. I did one painting and it turned out beautiful. The texture was totally awesome. I also used coloured paint.

This is great! Thank you!

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😊

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.

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.

Thank u so much for sharing very low cost texture paste

Ok... awesome!!! I'm using all sorts of pasty products and this is amazing!! House did it work out for you when making projects?

Great tutorial!! Can you use this on vases (glass/ ceramic)? Also, can you paint over it once dry with acrylic paint?

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.

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.

Muito bom parabéns e obrigado por compartilhar com a gente

Thank you very much. Some other KZfaq videos showed the exact mixture as making homemade gesso, only added water too.

Hi, thanks for the video. How do you keep this paste from getting hard if you have to save it for later? Thank you

It really worked! saved my day

Awesome 👏🏼 Thanks for sharing!

Very nice video. I want to know can I use this on lace molds or not? Is this paste flexible?

how long did you wait for it to dry?

thanks for great idea, it.s really help me to paint🙏

Thanks for the useful advice and information.

Awesome job! Your video is right on! Not every one has or would buy corn starch, baby powder yes! Keep up the good work! P. S. Your voice is so cute and sweet... xoxo

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??

Thank you , I’ve been looking for the texture mix cause some of the painter doesn’t share

Thank you for sharing im going too try this.

hi!! I want to knw some thing that is..some where I read that you can also use corn flour instead of baby powder..I jst wanted to knw dat if u do so....will the work last?? I mean it won't get spoil r8😞

wow, I love this ! thank you!

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

Thank you ..i wish you would've done a test with it and give us the results

Thank you very much you've been very helpful, now i can make my little houses!

so how do you make colourful ones? just add colour?

Does this crack when dried? I assume you have to coat it with glue or collage medium to prevent that?

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 :)

That's lovely!! Thank you sooo much!!

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.

Love this homemade recipe so much!!! So easy to make and I have prepared it to use for one of my scrapbook page. Thank you so much for sharing my Dear!!! Hugs Dr Monika Tripathi Shukla

can you use this on chalkboards and it will come off, or is there a different recipe for removable paste?

Thanks for keeping it simple

Simple, amazing , handy, toxic-free :) thank you

Thank you so much I’m really going to give this a go. Please stay safe and well too

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.

hi! could you show us what you're using this for? thanks ...

Thank you, I need to try it.

my plaster of paris cracked on canvas.. is there a way to fix this?

does it looks like cement when it dry

Lynnea, thanks you for these!! 🤗👋👋🌹🍀🌹🍀

Hi thank for teaching .can use texture techniques for cover may room?

Thanks... Can i use the normal talcum powder?

0:56 baby powder, glue, paint

Thank you for sharing

can you add glitter into the texture paste you made ?? thanks x

Thank you so much I made it yesterday and came perfect I just add a few drop of water

Once this is complete and painted on the canvas what is the longevity of the art?

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!

Hello! I have a question...I have to make some faun horns and I was wandering if this paste would be good for the top layer of the horns? I'm gonna use wire and paper mashe as base for them. Thank you! :3

do you think i could thin it down with rubbong alcohol i need to find a way to have non saggy liquid paint could thinning this down work?

Thanks for the video. By the way, wetting the spoons for the glue and paint makes them slide out much easier.

This is great! Thank you Lymnea.

Very nice video. You made things simple. Thank you. By the way, is it air dry?

Can we buy simple acrylic colour which is used for painting

which one is better plaster or talc powder in making modelling paste?

good on you all ideas like this are great

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. 👍

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the video 🌸 How much time do you have to work with this paste before it is dry? I tried the version with plaster but it dries so fast (I'm trying to create small rocks over a wooden panel)

Can I use different colors of paint I’m guessing because I’m using this for model building thank you anyways tho

so good explanation.

Definitely going to try this .btw love from Pakistan ❤

Can i use acrylic paint over the texture once it’s dry or should it be sealed with something first? I’m a beginner so any help would be great. Thank you 😊

try it with white flour, or corn starch, it work for me.

Can I use it in cone for relief art

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

Thank you for sharing your skills 💐👌‼️♥️Toom@CapeTown

Thank you so much 💕
