How To Make Paint
If you’ve been caught without any paint (tut tut!) for the latest art project, then here is an easy recipe.
You will need;
Water
Flour
Food Colouring
Bowl
Spoon
1. Mix small amount of flour and water, mix until you have a smooth paste.
2. Continue to add water until you have the right consistency. For example for finger painting you will need a thicker paint than standard paintbrush painting.
*Tip* If you don’t have any paintbrushes you could do what my nan used to do (my mum did it for us once!), cut an inch or so of hair (yes, that’s your hair) and tape to a twig! This would be a great little tip if the end result wasn’t so shoddy…. 
(sorry mum, nan…)
I've been blogging for four years and write about anything and everything that takes my fancy.

Hi! We tried 2 make this paint recipe but it did not work out so well… we used some flour and then some water and food dye and mixed it up. We then used paint brushes and brushed it on a poster board! It soaked in and it dried really weird. It ended up as a big gooky mess. It also looked like a weird wet thing. It did not work out for us and now we have 2 turn this in but we are using the other side for our info!
great tip but when i made it it wasnt really looking like paint on paper i looke like mini go yogurt i will try again thansk ur the best,

anyways this works great on paper…i was just wonsering if they could paint on the trampoline with this. i told them not to try it incase it wouldnt come off that kind of fabric.
Thanks for your help!!!
It is washable but I wouldn’t advise painting the trampoline.
Thanks a lot! I’ve been trying to find an easy paint recipe. In fact, my daughter is using the homemade paint now. I also love the paintbrush idea.
Thanks muslim mommy, glad it’s come in handy.
Will it ever work because i haven’t tried it, but i don’t want it to end up in a big, gloppy, gross mess. I’m not trying to be mean, but i don’t want it to be ugly for now. k? thanks so much for maybe answering my question.Well i hope you respond to my question because i really want to try it, but i don’t want it to be ugly because who would want to paint with something UGLY!!! sincerely,The Person Writing This? (um-duh) Bye… Paint Person

The only way you’ll know is by giving it a try
will this work on clay? I,m just wondering because i make clay dragons and i don’t want them to fall apart if it doesn’t work.
thanks if You do answer,

Hi Abby,
Honest answer is I don’t know, but I think you’re better using acrylic paint for clay, this probably wouldn’t show up.
