How to Make Homemade Paint 4 Ways

[@newmessage8313]

For faster drying, add the yellow in eggs known as tempura. The Egyptians used to use it as they knew it as a secret ingredient to their paint as it lasts for centuries unlike normal paint. The Christians there still use it today for religious art or iconography rather as it does not fade like normal paint.

What a great tip! Thank you.

Oh this exactly what I was looking for: I’m locked up at home (not for the universal “lock down”) I had back injury and going to the store was impossible. I needed to touch up some artwork and I didn’t have any paint…I said to myself, ‘make paint from the cupboard’..I didn’t have any food coloring, but I did have coffee and spices. Thanks so much.

Yay! I’m so glad you found this when you needed it! So sorry to hear about your back. Hope you are better soon.

[@jinageorgenutrition]

Love love love this. I’ll be using cassava flour (my daughter is sensitive to gluten flour) 😍

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Awesome! Let me know how it comes out. :-)

[@Kylie-ok5qj]

Ty so much I needed paint for my kids b day

[@theinspiredclassroom]

What a great time to use it!!

[@mbongeniludvumisodlamini5926]

I like it😊

So glad to hear it!!

[@elizabethmoleko7807]

Thanks so very much for sharing I will definitely make it with my Sunday school kids

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Wonderful! Did the kids enjoy making the paint?

[@PatriciaKelikani]

This is so awesome! My kids are gonna love this!

[@keiaraellerbe9305]

I do

[@cosmiss7816]

Thank you so much for making this video!!! I really like the last one. Is there any substitute for Karo syrup?

[@getrudemaganga2685]

I used the first type of paint and it was great.(flour,water etc)

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Wonderful! That's great to know. I'm so glad it worked out well for you.

[@Yonadalee]

Mine turned into dry oatmeal 😭

[@piink8259]

Will the basic paint mold since it has flour and water?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Yes. It really should be used for some fun, temporary projects.

[@dreamer4lyf149]

😍..Amazing..Can they be used on walls? The last one you made with cornflour ? Will they look good?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Yikes.... I don't know! Do you mean in place of wall paint? I would try a section and see. The watercolors may be your best bet to attempt it. Let us know how it goes if you try it!

[@adamanasiata-rm9ib]

Which type of flour

[@teachSEAL]

It’s just regular, all-purpose flour! Hope you make some! Let me know how it goes.

[@adamanasiata-rm9ib]

@@teachSEAL pls the which of the colour

[@adamanasiata-rm9ib]

@@teachSEAL is it the one we use to decorate cake or

[@teachSEAL]

@@adamanasiata-rm9ib The same flour used to make cakes. Yes. 👍

[@n.deepika2547]

WOW so cool 🎉😊

[@simlesisters424]

What flour should we use?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

I just use regular all-purpose flour. You could certainly try other types as well!

[@nicosheldonflorendo]

boiled coffee is acidic if you use cold brewed coffee will the art last longer before it starts yellowing and aging?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Interesting question. I’m not sure. I like the idea of trying cold brewed!

[@aiiiai-i9n]

can i make the water color without karo syrup?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

I hadn’t tried that, but I’m pretty sure that’s an important ingredient.

[@doggo6553]

I love your videos

[@bananabread4011]

Will this get moldy?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Actually... yes. For the first types of paint, they probably will if you don't use it up. The trick is using the paint and then letting it try. If it dries, you should be good and will not get mold. The thing I love about the watercolor paints, though is that they will not get moldy. Because you need to dry them out completely before using them, they are good to last for a long time. Hope that helps!!

[@onthepickledwood7164]

Thank you so much does helped tremendously

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Great to hear!

[@guidoreichstadter6809]

Great love it!

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Glad you like these ideas! Let me know if you try them.

[@bonganimkhwanazi5097]

I give thanks for your idea. Can you make paint for paint the wall

[@theinspiredclassroom]

I’m not sure I would use these paints for a wall, but maybe a large canvas would work! For wall paining, I trust the hardware store. 😁

[@TheaMaitreya]

So exited

[@gabi08ieo57]

May I ask how long its shelf life is? Like how many days?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

If you fully dry the paint, it will last a few months at least. The water colors lasted a very long time for me... I just make sure to fully dry them by simply not covering them.

[@RicayellaJeanDanzalan]

Can it paint on plastic bottles?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

You can try it! If you do, I'd quickly dry it with a hairdryer. But, because these are all natural ingredients, I would make sure the paint doesn't get wet as you use the bottle... Good luck and let us know how it goes!

[@caffeinatedkat3]

I want to paint a concrete slab to make a head stone type thing for my deseased cats ive burried in my backyard:'( Will this wash away in rain/snow/weather?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Yes. There's no doubt it will wash away. So sorry to hear about your cat.

[@praisesahema5984]

please how long will it take to spoil

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Hi! The flour based paint does have a shelf life, so using it for some fun, temporary projects is probably best. The water color paints, though have lasted for a couple of years!

[@kellybibbs9025]

The paint that you made in this video. Can you use that paint to paint rocks and set them outside without the paint coming off?

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Such a good question! I didn't try, however, I can only imagine that the paint would come off fairly easily. 😕 I bet you could put a lacquer finish over the paint. But, that depends on your reason for using natural paint.

[@bladeify6976]

Thank you

[@theinspiredclassroom]

You are so welcome!

[@felistasemilymujaho6427]

Hello these are such brilliant ideas.....what else can I use instead of Karo syrup

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Hi! Glad you like these ideas for making paint. You can try substituting simple syrup for the karo syrup. Add sugar to boiling water. I believe the ration is 1:1.

[@felistasemilymujaho6427]

Waaaaal u are a genius....let me try that and give you a feedback

[@felistasemilymujaho6427]

How long dd ur paint last want to make for my kids

[@Smith98732]

This is soooooooo coooooooooooooool

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Yay! Glad you like it!!

[@greenones8754]

Obviously when I talk like this people feel like I'm gonna take offence by whatever ad hominem line they can think of No I don't care My dad was an artist his whole life from brushing to pouring, washing and airbrush but he always leaned to the acrylics. So do I. Want a cheap substitute? There's cheap primer called gesso. Add clear or that milky PVA glue they give to kids? Now from breaking open pens, jet carts from a printer or buy expensive Parker or calligraphy inks which takes a while but works best once you know how to use it. Dollarstore? Cheapest soft pastel you can find, pick a colour. Smush it up. Add it on in and done. How thick or thin it is you can decide as you go on gesso has an agent that makes it evaporate a bit quicker so too runny? NO FLOUR! 😂 Then you instantly ruin your hue you'll white the lot out. Just stir with an open lid it'll thicken and if your in a hurry try what works best for you but for starters fill a bottle 2pts demi water. To 1 pure 99% ethanol or isopropyl works too don't use methanol or acetone besides the smell they don't work that way. That you liquify your pigment pastel with into the gesso-glue mix. Always gesso first as the glue you don't always need lots of or its truly sticky. So a solvent won't hurt and if you forgot. Arabic gum. it's legit the only readily available affordable thing with which I'll bind inks into a more gel for grafitti or if I have to thin of an acrylic for starters? The tip of a knife will do for starters. Demi water, soft pastels, PVA glue and gesso. That 1$+ 3/5! for pastel the glue you may still have at home and gesso you can find anywhere frankly as it's also fairly inexpensive as gesso is gesso there's no special kind that costs 4x as much but that's not 3$ a pint. Now you have molecular bonds in every thing and a homemade paint that's at least a little UV resistant. Hope you try it and at pleasantly surprised because a good food dye is more expensive then the whole box of pastels 😂 so then you can make any colour and yes when mixing the first 2 just a third of a part of extra water no more. It may look off-white. But when it touches pigment nobody will be the wiser This is a sounds budget way to make DIY paint

1:35 FOOD COLORING? :)

[@Stephaniesavides]

In doing it now

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Excellent! How did it go?

[@dannylionsmom]

Basic paint: 1 part flour:salt:water:food coloring

[@dannylionsmom]

Coffee paint- coffee from coffee pot

[@dannylionsmom]

Spice paint: spice with water. Eg paprika; cumin

[@dannylionsmom]

Watercolor: 4T baking soda; 2T vinegar; mix; 1/2t Karo syrup (light); 2T baking soda; food coloring. Mix.

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Awesome! Love the summaries! Thank you.

[@luisnathanielmadraga7988]

i thought the first one was icing for cake

[@theinspiredclassroom]

While it’s totally edible, it will probably taste disgusting!!! Just use it as paint. 😂

i have another idea use hand sanitizer and lotion not sure if its specific tho!

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Have you tried this? I would be nervous about using those materials because of the ingredients.

[@kayzwrld9663]

or use make up water and flour

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Yes! Great idea. I bet that works well.

[@salim35881]

Hi

[@glorygodson4002]

nice, but with food paint it is paint a paint it is still made of paint

[@theinspiredclassroom]

I suppose... the food coloring could be considered paint. However, in some cases the coloring comes from spices and other natural ingredients.

[@ezraholland9049]

Make more paintw

[@theinspiredclassroom]

Did you make the paint??

[@Skeletone56]

Pov: you're rodrick

[@greenones8754]

First off that wouldn't even do as Fingerpaint to me but I'll leave that in the middle You have no clue what you've made. Because there's only 1 reason to put "a pinch" not a whole third of salt in and that's if you also use.. what they forgot to tell you I guess but that becomes moot once I saw food dye. If you want a cool painting that fades totally out in a sunny spot. Make this by the bucket. Also often a painter chooses a specific paint for the effect it inherits in the finish. You don't use demi water. When the measurements where off you figured equal parts would work too but this is a recipe for disaster. your flour could still start going moldy and the salt is not the binder so sooner or later rather the colour fades or your paint sorta falls apart. The only reason I don't put orange slices on it is because I don't think one oughta "teach" whilst actually if I ask what are we still missing since you knew to use salt and then that surplus of it why? If you can't answer those things yourself how would you reckon someone who made a mistake would feel. that they aren't clever enough to measure equal parts? No your recipe is not off its deadset wrong and if used as paint or ink. Put the food dye back in the cupboard! It's only meant to look good for a very short time It doesn't hold unless you'd finished that ever so slightly chemical bond salt and product unknown do. So yeah it all starts with don't use bio things that can still say grow fungus or rot which the flour simply still can the full third of salt makes the solution unstable and it's not cohesive nor will it stay that way. Salt is fairly innocent it won't hold bad bacterial growth. But then hardens and is now getting more brittle by the day ik telling you a painting today can be looking like someone stepped onto soft pastel on the floor after a while.
