2 Different Ways to Make Diy Texture Paste : Baby Powder & Baking Soda

Learn how to make your own texture paste with very little material. The renderings will be largely up to your expectations while saving a lot of money.
Whatever the technique, you will only need 3 main ingredients that are easy to find and cheap.
- White (or colored) acrylic paint
- baby powder or baking soda
- glue
Use a stencil of your choice on a piece of cardstock and spread your paste.
Depending on the room temperature and the thickness of your paste it will take more or less time to dry. The thicker it is, the longer it will take. Overnight should be good.
Be careful, it may feel dry to the touch but it must also be dry through at core.

Thank you so much for sharing this video ! It's very useful and also quite interesting to see the difference between both mixtures. That's really great ! I'm just wondering : is acrylic paint a must or could you also use chalk paint or white gesso ?

[@RD9_Designs]

I'd think that chalk paint is fine, but I wouldn't use gesso... The recipe for homemade gesso (non-archival) is all the same ingredients, only more white paint and glue and water, and no baking soda or baby powder. You can look up videos on homemade gesso.

[@shreyaajith1704]

Actually, baking powder and baking soda are two different things. Baking powder is not bicarbonate of soda... I'm not sure what it really is, but I know that they're not the same. I have both in my cabinet for making biscuits! Thanks for the tutorial, I will use your recipe!

is that baby powder the corn starch / corn flour version rather than talc ? And the glue is pva not school glue ?

[@halimahh2100]

Can I use heat gun to set them (especially the baking soda one)? Or is it a must to air dry?

[@StylHarmony]

You can use a heat gun but I think only the surface is going to dry not the inside. Give it a try and let me know. Thanks Halimah for your idea.

[@hilacohen3629]

Thanks for the video 🌸 Do you think it can change it's color or get yellowish with time? (With baking soda)

[@StylHarmony]

The best to make sure it doesn't go yellow is to add white acrylic paint to the mixture. Acrylic paint doesn't tarnish (if it's a good brand). And always avoid direct light it's better. I'm sure you'll' be fine

Corn starch sucks up moisture and will make clumps, reduces movement (slide) of the medium

Can you please tell me if I can combine oil paint with your paste, not acrylic? thank you in advance Natasha

[@aaryarandive5072]

Hi because oil paints dry differently than acrylic paint, you might have to wait a long time for your paste to dry on your art.

[@notebookluvr]

I use spackle and acrylic paint mixed, but it is really hard to clean off of stencils. Looking for something that cleans off easily, especially for intricate stencils

[@iceberri]

You can try to remove with either liquid dishwashing soap or nail remover liquid. For me, I prefer liquid dishwashing soap. You should clean your stencil right after finish your project. If not place your stencil in the warm water container and clean it later on; it will not dry off.

[@RD9_Designs]

It doesn't hurt the stencils to let substances to dry on them. But it can make them harder to clean. It's silk screens that you should put straight into warm water after use, not stencils. And I would definitely NOT use nail polish remover on plastic! It will dissolve!

[@mathfromtheheart]

Can I use any other talcum powder instead of baby powder?

[@StylHarmony]

Yes I think so, why not ?

[@Meta_10subs]

Could it be used for exterior pots?

[@RD9_Designs]

No. It's completely water soluble. It will melt right off if it gets wet.

[@angeliquehealey8182]

Can this be used on furniture rather than 3d paste?

[@lattep9613]

I use cornstarch; I heard you can't get how come powder any longer due to it having asbestos.

[@beerich2117]

Im trying to figure out what you are making? 🙂

[@amitaanand5897]

It's useful for sculpture paste or not.

[@lattep9613]

FYI, baking powder and baking soda are two completely different things. In baking, if you substitute baking powder for baking soda then you have to use three times as much. In cornstarch is a cheap alternative to talcum powder. If you want something really hard use spackling. After my mom died, I found an old box of powdered spackling and mix it with white glue and some plaster of Paris... He gets really hard.

I recommend a mask with talcum powder. Breathing in the dust has been linked to lung cancer. I'm curious how well each mixture resists cracking in the long term.

[@josephpedulla7831]

The best additive is CALCIUM CARBONATE POWDER. You can get it from the internet or even buy calcium carbonate tablets in the over-the-counter vitamin section of the pharmacy and then grind them up in the blender into a fine powder. Or you can use a mortar and pestle. A company called "NOW" sells it already pulverized in plastic bottles, and you can get them from many places: GNC, Walmart, etc. Amazon definitely has this product. Mix CALCIUM CARBONATE with Elmer's, and watch how thick that becomes. You'll know it's ready when it's very difficult to move around. You want this stuff the consistency of peanut butter. And the great thing is that you can make it as thick and stiff as you want. It will depend on how much powder you use to your amount of glue. This stuff, especially when mixed with a heavy-body acrylic like Liquitex, will leave brush marks that will make your work look like a Van Gogh. The great thing about calcium carbonate is that it is inert. It contains nothing that will cause it to "grow" or "change." Try it. I promise you will like it. The baby powder works well, too, but it puffs up into the air at the slightest touch, and if it gets into your lungs you may have a problem. The carbonate powder does not do that when moved. See for yourself.
