I have been using this recipe for the past year and it's been great. I also use colored acrylic paint instead of white and get colored texture paste to match my projects. It's been a lot of fun making different colors. I love your channel, you are so supportive and positive.

[@nanimenardo]

Is it necessary to add acrylic paint?

[@cindyanonson2679]

I haven't made these recipes yet and I don't remember where I got them but here they are: Homemade Gesso 1/4 cup plaster of paris or baby powder 1/4 cup water 1/2 cup white acrylic paint 1/4 cup white craft glue Heavy = more plaster or powder Light = more paint Homemade Texture Paste 1/2 cup gesso (above recipe) 1/4 cup mod podge or white glue 1 cup plaster of Paris or baby powder Homemade Clear Gesso 1 cup white glue 1/4 cup water 4-5 heaping tablespoons powdered marble (marble dust or marble flour) OR calcium carbonate(white) If you don't like the baby powder smell in your craft work use plaster of paris. I personally like the smell of baby powder. 😊

[@MaremiSmallArt]

thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xoxox

Thnx for the recipes!!!

What a great recipe. I'm new to mixed media, so I'm trying a few products at a time and will certainly try this myself. I'm so glad I found you on KZbin. I feel like I have found a new friend. You have such talent, and the best personality. I could watch you over and over. Lou vou...

[@tonyadull]

I've been using this for years. By now, I just add a bunch of powder, a little glue, a little paint, and a dab of water. Stir, stir, stir. Add more water or powder if needed. I've actually never used store bought texture paste.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

thank you xoxox :)

[@karindogs628]

Tonya Dull have you ever found that it cracked after two years and after you painted over it?

[@dexteritymedia6812]

Does it last long? I'm looking for alternatives but worried cracks may develop in the future as the previous commenter pointed out.

[@H4me7215]

I am new. What's it for?? Can you share.

[@PinkPoodleCrafts]

Ive been making my own pastes forever... the baby powder will give you a nice smooth consistency and if you use marble dust which is what real modeling paste is made from (you can get it for about 7 dollars at dickblick.com), you get a more accurate texture paste, slightly less smooth with just a bit more texture. Either will work great. You can also use the Marble dust to make clear gesso, white gesso, and any color gesso. Its what is used in real store bought gessos, pastes and clear gesso. But I do love using baby powder for a nice stencil paste since it is nice and smooth. :)

[@justmishel3167]

Pink Poodle Crafts I just love you

[@sharonlehmann8970]

Thank you pink poodle crafts for that info I have been wondering where I could get the marble dust from

Hi Marta, the texture paste you have shown here is awesome... I have been using this from the past 2-3 years... It lasts for a long time.. If you feel it has hardened, just add a bit of glue n powder n mix it up again.. I also have the normal branded texture paste, but I feel both give the same result but the handmade one smells better.. All my friends say that my work smells too good.. The smell on the projects lasts for like months... :D

[@teresitacolayco7504]

Your enthusiasm for creating art is delightful and makes me want to do it also. Thank you, Martha, for assuring us that it's ok to create for our own pleasure. No need to explain or apologize why we do what we do. It's just fun and heart warming. You are such a gift to me with your beautiful and generous soul! God bless always.

[@terrabos5582]

I think this is great! I definitely want to try making my own. So economical! Your videos are wonderful and I could watch and listen to you all day!

[@karenlund8604]

I never thought about homemade gesso or texture paste. Wow! Gotta try it. Thank you for your fun videos. I like yours the most. You have a kind, encouraging style for us beginners.

[@danielle6353]

That's really cool! I'm glad you made this video. There may already be many videos about it, but I wasn't aware you could make your own so I wouldn't have thought to look it up. Thank you! I just came across your channel a couple weeks ago and I've been really loving your videos and your personality.

[@smedina146]

Oh Danielle... You have NO idea. You have hit the mother lode of WONDERFUL, inspiring, informative, videos... the bonus? This is THE sweetest lady you could ever hope to meet. So glad you found her!!

[@MaremiSmallArt]

you are too kind ;) xxxoxox

[@barbarabaylis959]

Thank you Marta for this video. I’ve been watching you for about 3 years, and love your talent man Emily ! She is very talented like her Mom. I enjoy your videos. I tend to watch you when I climb into bed and relax and drink up your talents. I find your voice to be calming and soothing. I do go back and rewatch and try to craft along with you Thank you for what you teach me. Hugs to the beautiful family. Barb Baylis. South Carolina USA

[@thelasonj]

Watching your channel is my whole life right now. Thank you!! 💙💙💙

[@ChristyEssen]

I haven't tried my own texture paste I'm new to texture paste and like products I have tried my own clear gesso (I don't use the paint.) and love it .a tip that I heard was to use distilled water not plain tap water, because first of all bacteria that could be in the water also different things that they use in water treatment if you have city water and different minerals especially from ground or well water so distilled water seems to make sense if storing it.

[@AmeliaFiordelli]

I use the same recipe but instead of baby powder I use corn starch. Love it! and very cheap!!!

[@marlenejones6266]

I make mine with cornstarch also. Love it

[@Queenofdamned13]

You're very smart girl!!! and the awesomest part is I can see how fellow crafters get together to share their knowledge with you and that is amazing that is what I love about all of us 💜💜💜

[@brandied.7706]

In the written recipe you say 1/4 cup powder, but in the video you say 3/4 cup powder. It looked like you actually used about 1/4 cup, though. Correct? Also, I ordered supplies from your website a few months ago for the first time and you sent me SO MANY gifts/freebies and I never got a chance to thank you... so, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! I'm just getting started in mixed media & everything you sent got the creative side of my brain exploding with ideas! I truly enjoy your videos... you're an awesome artist!

[@melstampz]

Such a wonderful video, as all of your videos are. Thanks for sharing. P.S. just a wee little thing to mention with love: breathing any fine powder like baby powder or plaster of paris can be really bad for you. Good thing we call have masks now. Lol ;) Stay safe crafty people.

[@sandrarademacher9681]

[@deeking9937]

Hi Sandra. I also live in Germany.

[@amandajohnson6197]

I have been using this same recipe for the past year and it's been great, sometimes I will use colored acrylic paint instead of white and get a colored texture paste to match my projects. I love your channel and how positive and supportive you are.

[@MaremiSmallArt]

:) thank you xoxo

[@jessspagett8488]

This is a really good video. Sometimes it's good to make a video on you make it. It gives something new to the group of videos that has already been made.

[@retrowhatnotstore1144]

Hi, Marta! Love, love, love your tutorials! Just got into mixed media and this was my first recipe :). When I was watching, I thought why not make this with colored paint...so I did. I'm working on some mini bird houses for Christmas gifts and thought this would be perfect. Tested my first ever heat gun on my first ever texture on my first ever birdhouse craft~ L O V E it! Thank you for all your inspiration and incredible talent! We can all make beautiful things! xoxo Monica

[@MaeBelleArt]

This is really helpful nice that I find this video you done ✅ . Thanks for sharing

[@nonalaughton9326]

Hi Marta, I have a few questions about this video. 1) How long roughly could I expect an item using this homemade paste last? 2) Would it go off or mouldy? 3) What is the difference between Gesso & Texture Paste? 4) What is the difference & what would you use Heavy & Light Gesso for? 5) What stencil did you use? It's lovely :) Sorry for all the questions, you can never have too much info :) Thanks for an honest opinion for it. Nona x

[@Nasreenart]

hi there, I just found your channel and it is amazing! I am in Dublin but find it so hard to find craft supplies as everything has to be ordered from the UK or USA and shipping is so expensive. It is nice to know that we can save some money with DIYs like this.

[@ScrapbookingCecilia]

I been using this paste always! And I really love the texture, I live in Mexico and is too expensive to bring stuffs from US, so I made my own paste, my own embellishments, and sometimes my own paper 😉 tfs

[@martapaulino7618]

yo vivo en Argentina y también todo es caro, hago lo mismo que vos, saludos

[@lorriedairda7457]

Thank you so very much for saving our budget!

[@sumanpandit9036]

Hi Marta, another lovely video, thanks !! I first came across this receipe on Gabrielle Pollacco's blog and tried it !! works wonderfully for me , have been using it for years!! it is better to keep in a tight Jar, you can add a few drops of white vinegar and I like to use well boiled and then cooled water to the mix if required. never had a problem of keeping it in room temperature for months !! then I experimented with corn flour+ same ingredients, paste gets a little translucent on drying so one can add white paint to the mix. Tried wall putty for coarser texture , works very well on canvas and wood. one can add sand to the baby powder mix for a coarse texture as well. am sure more people will try this awesome receipe of yours and explore the wonder-fulled world of Mix media hugs

[@MaremiSmallArt]

wow thank you sooo much for your awesome comment! xoxox

[@juliennebrendadevos6004]

I use thus home made paste as well I enjoy having stuff on hand .

[@charlottevanstraten339]

So you have on stores, we have dollar stores in US. That is where I get my cheep shaving cream for the swirled backgrounds using alcohol inks or reinkers.

[@55shocked55]

I've made my paste for years by mixing glue paint and good Ole corn starch works great. there is a "perfect" mixture to use so it don't crack but once you find it I personally life using it better than any expensive stuff

[@angie_68]

Thank you for this video , have most of the stuff here but just need the paint, oh and baby powder or maybe baking powder or soda might work that's what I have here. Saves me on buying texture paste, thank you

[@jaynesills1248]

I forgot to say, I also do the same thing too. But also instead of the baby powder you can use baking Soda and it gives a big more grit or tooth.

[@jaynesills1248]

no, it's fine

[@jaynesills1248]

I also make clear Gesso. Made with Marble Dust.It's a 4lb bag with shipping around 12.00. will last a lifetime!!can use it instead of the powder. Receipe is from pinkpoodlecrafts. But Martas works great.

Maremi, You mentioned in your video, that there are so many videos and ways to make this that you did not think you had to do a video on it. I am so glad that you did. I would not have even thought of making my own. Thank you for sharing. i really enjoy listening to how you passionate you are about all the things you create. Thanks from the States.

[@michellethum8398]

Thank u for posting this tutorial and showing us how well it works! I've been hesitant to do it but now I'm going to try it!

[@thetapequeen5489]

I Use cornstarch as I'm allergic to baby powder. I find my homemade texture paste lasts longer in a screw top container.

[@rainbarber7657]

I've never tried making my own texture paste. I've tried gesso and came to the conclusion that store bought is the way to go with that. however, after watching this video, I will be trying to make my own texture paste in a day or two.

[@lottiefaith6935]

I think this is a great video, the paste looks wonderful and I love those powders. I've made one batch in the past and liked it but I used corn starch instead of baby powder because that's what I had. I like the smell of baby powder though so I might try it next. Thanks for sharing.

[@JuneRamsamy]

I've made my own texture paste just how you did it and it works perfectly.

[@mariannehylander4356]

love your videos 💜 I have made my own I black and grey/silver for about a year ago. still works great. my white one is not home made. just because I had two jars/box of it. would love to try to make clear gesso. thanks again for sharing your expertise with us. 😃

[@sweetcurly28]

A small rubber spatula would be helpful. Thanks for making this! I may try someday 👍🏻😃

[@jlm517rocks]

learned a lot making my owner's. brands purchased helped me with consistency and some were smoother, and mine morphed from coarser gesso using baking soda instead of baby powder; lighter texture paste to firm molding paste adding more cornstarch.

[@happiestmonaa9938]

Hello Ma'am. Kindly accept my Greetings ❤️. I hv just watched two of ur videos nd in both of them U told us really a lot of useful things.I am a low-budget artist and am not able to buy expensive things right now.

[@Desaree1]

thank you for the recipe. I use high performance spackling paste from Home Depot to about $4 for an 8-ounce tub works really well.

[@carolinsocal5139]

I used the all purpose spackling paste and added a bit of varithane to it. (don't know why) it works great!

[@Desaree1]

Carol Cervantes it's so crazy the things that we can substitute for the craft item which cost a fortune just because it's made for "crafts"

Marta , looks gorgeous !! I have a question - when you move your page exactly where modelling paste is on , does modelling paste start to break?

[@MaremiSmallArt]

no it is not... I would even chance to say it it a tiny tiny flexible.... more light a light paste

Is the modeling paste the same as gesso? I would appreciate your reply. Thanks

[@MaremiSmallArt]

nope, gesso is a primer modeling paste is for texture but gesso could replace modeling paste if it's thick :)

[@sherryhabing8104]

Thank you.👍 💜 it's always nice to see someone else's perspectives on old videos you also use this as a gesso you'd add more paint or water or glue to get it to the consistency you like give it a try!

[@natureselement7588]

Someone should include the baby powder cant be cornstarch based. I didn't know this and cornstarch doesnt turn out right. It self levels. :( maybe explain it can't be cornstarch based baby powder in the ingredients list

[@jilldavidson2204]

Thank you for the paste recipe. There are not many recipes online that aren't made with glitter. As well as the cost there is the convenience - if the commercial one runs out in the middle of a project you are not stuck with nothing to work with. I have made and use my own gessos and love them (especially the clear one which mattes down shiney magazine pix) , and I am just off to make this modelling paste. It's ingredients are the similar to my gesso (recipe of Pam from the Paper Outpost), so it should work well. I love your channel and your ideas, and I am sure cost cutting measures will not compromise the integrity of the finished work.

[@jeanettegibbs9148]

Marta,hello, could you tell me is this would work for pastels,maybe if it were thinner,pastel paper is becoming expensive and thought maybe if I used a cheaper paper with a thinner coat of this on! Thanks

Wonderful video :) I was really surprised that you have never made your own texture paste before now... I have been making my own for a long time. You might try using baking soda instead of baby powder for a nice sandy texture as well.. it is a truly different effect. Also make sure your container is air tight.. and if you find it a little dry the next time you use it just spray it with water. Thanks so much for sharing your views they are appreciated very much :)
