Thanks so much. Live in Nicaragua in a beach town and had no idea how to make the paste. Now I do. Blessings!

[@blondelebanese9922]

I made this following someone’s recipe and they used marble dust (from a hardware store. The marble dust was left over after making my own clear gesso for a project. I’ve also made this using baby powder (your recipe) and it worked wonderfully. The least expensive one was the one using baby powder (or any kind of talcum powder) and the most costly was the marble dust but it wasn’t very expensive. I think the bag said ‘crushed marble’ and I wouldn’t have had it on hand if I hadn’t already made the clear gesso which is really expensive if bought in a retail store. I love the way you gave the instructions - easy to follow, and now I’m gonna have to make some more because I didn’t store it in an airtight container so it became unusable. Great video, love. You have a brand new subscriber!

[@nicola3540]

I’m not normally a jealous person, except when it comes to diy. Elmer’s school glue, 77 cents - I’m my dreams! The very same bottle of glue will cost you $6.50 here in Australia, and that massive price differential applies to virtually any diy material. I’m thinking it might be worth considering a holiday just to get supplies, the savings on a years worth of supplies would doubtless pay for my airfare..... thanks for the great idea tho, it’s one I’ll be trying😊

[@casperthegm741]

Good job. You did that perfectly, talking to us through the process and showing at the same time- without anything added unnecessarily. Straight and to the point. Quick question, since I'm cheap and don't want to waste paint if I don't have to; what happens if you don't add the white acrylic paint to the mix?

[@LynneaHollendonner]

The paint helped to thicken without being gloopy. You could definitely try leaving it out - I just couldn't get the right consistency with just glue.

[@BrandiEckert]

Be aware some baby powders are just scented cornstarch, others are talcum powder. If you're using cornstarch-based baby powder, just buy regular cornstarch (like you cook with). Dollar stores probably carry cornstarch, not sure if they have talcum powder.

[@TheCajunBeauty]

I wouldn't use anything talcum based. Talc has been link to Cancer.

Thank you so much for the recipe for texture paste . I will certainly be making some .

[@DoloresJRush]

This thick goop gives texture to a art journaling page. It is not gesso which is used to give tooth or a gritty texture to a painting project. You smooth texture paste through a thin plastic or brass sheet stencil with a faux plastic credit card or palette knife to make bumps on paper, hence "texture." If you apply it too heavy, it will develop cracks on your art journal page. If it takes longer than 15 minutes to dry, then it is probably has been applied too heavily also. She is not using the talc powder on body parts in this craft recipe and most people have the common sense not to breathe in any powder floating in the air, whether it is talc powder, cornstarch, baking soda or flour, however, I don't know about you, just sayin'. Thank You Lynnea for sharing your recipe. Just what I was looking for. smile! -- Addition -- break it down to its basic elements: Dried Elmer's glue is like a plastic and dried acrylic paint is like a plastic and real talcum powder is a ground mineral.

[@christyray6493]

So u said it's used with stencils, which gives it a raised look. So can u not layer it slowly to say, build up a mountain range to paint? If not, what product do u use for that? Obviously not gesso.

[@christyray6493]

So like you said you use it with stenciling which will give it a raised texture. So can you not slowly layer it, say to build up a mountain range on a painting? If not what product do you use for that? Using acrylic paint

[@DoloresJRush]

@@christyray6493 You make a very thin layer on paper, otherwise it will crack if it gets bent, however, if you are adding it to an acrylic painting base on canvas board, it might be okay to go a little thicker. You would just have to experiment and see what you like. It would of course take longer to dry as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-Wf4ysl5tln6s

[@lorebeth]

Just starting to do artsy projects so very new to all of this. Two questions... Would mixing Elmer’s glue & corn starch - primary ingredient in baby powder - work? Could plain paste (no paint) be brushed over stencil adhered to project surface then painted over with light touch after it’s dried a bit instead of adding paint to paste? Really appreciate those of you who post videos, I’ve learned so much and doubt I’d ever have the nerve to do a video. Thank you.

[@Aralynn2003]

Hello, I purchased my glue and baby powder at Dollar Tree where one can find the large size for a dollar each. Don't forget the baby wipes. Walmart has the large white acrylic paint at low cost.

I bought 2.5 euro worth of industrial acrylic paste/goo in a tube and a gun for that. Its used in the wall corners to seal them. Doesnt smell bad, only a little while drying. It works like a charm.

I use baking soda BUT looking for different ways. Baking soda is GREAT BUT it will yellow without the addition of white paint.... IF I am going for snow effects I use a lot of white paint, IF for base/mountain work I use a little white paint because I find the yellowing WILL pop through a lightly painted base and help adds texture to the natural colouring look
