Why is painting the only fun part? What about creating your own paint?

In our day-to-day lives, we are always trying to make life easier by purchasing products, creating waste and clutter within the household.

This easy, kid friendly, 10 minute, chemical free recipe will have you painting in no time.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups salt

  • 1 1/2 cups hot water

  • 1 1/2 cups flour

  • Water-soluble food coloring or spices for coloring

Step 1:

Mix the salt and hot water in a large bowl until the salt is dissolved. The more it is dissolved, the less the salt will implement any texture to the paint.
