The Best DIY Homemade Craft Materials/ Easy and Affordable

Hi everyone and welcome to my channel, today I have a really useful video as I've collected all of my favourite recipes of homemade crafting materials.If you didn't know how to make chalk paint or modeling clay - here is whe you'll get it! All the recipes and links are down below.
Homemade texture paint:
2 tablespoons of white glue
2 tablespoons of acrylic or latex paint
1/2 cup of baking soda (for making coarse paste) /talcum powder or baby powder (for making fine paste)
talcum powder on Amazon: amzn.to/3GUZMnf
Homemade chalk paint:
1 part white clay
1 part water
3 parts acrylic or latex paint
white clay on Amazon: amzn.to/3rL7ny3
Homemade contour paint:
Mix construction adhesive (latex based) or latex caulking sealant with acrylic varnish till you get a consistensy of thich sour cream, add a drop of thick handcream to avoid bubbles. Add paint or eyeshadows to get the desired color.
Latex construction adhesive: amzn.to/3GPaNGx
Latex caulking sealant: amzn.to/3tW6wgP
Homemade fabric stiffener:
1 tablespoon of wallpaper paste powder (for use with wallpaper which is actually made of paper)
2 tablespoons of white glue
400 ml of water
50-70 ml of alcohol
wallpaper paste powder (haven't tried this exact one) amzn.to/3fRwcmI
Homemade silicone molds
There's no content sizes actually, just use water+dish soap to wet your fingers, oil or cream to cover the figurine and silicone caulking sealant. Cover the figurine with oil well and then cover it with silicone, wetting your fingers to avoid sticking to silicone. Apply more coats every several hour till you get the desired thickness.
silicone caulking sealant: amzn.to/3AriX5v
Homemade modelling clay:
I've made half a batch, here are the original instructions:
- toilet paper - 20 grams (this is about 40 leaflets of 3-layer paper) (I used 20 leaflets)
- white glue - 460 ml., about 480 g. (I used 240 grams, this is 5-6 tablespoons),
- dry plaster putty (drywall joint compound in powder) - 8 tablespoons, this is about 350 grams (I used 4 tablespoons)
- wheat flour - 11-13 tablespoons - about 360-420 g (I used 6 tablespoons)
- dish soap - 3,5 tablespoons (I used 2 tablespoons)
- liquid oil- 4 tablespoons (I used 2 tablespoons of mineral oit)
drywall joint compound: amzn.to/3GZRytV
I think it's much easier to find at a hardware store, you want to look for a putty/compound which is based on plaster of Paris and has working life of no less then 45-60 minutes

[@amandajones6481]

Thank you so much for giving us these recipes. They will save us all a lot of money. I really like how you use eye shadow in your 3D paint, because it contains Micah Powder that adds a beautiful shimmer to it. I use a product by Pentart called '2 Part Fine Line Crackle Varnish' and it creates the look of antique porcelain with very fine cracks on any surface. After applying the 2 parts and letting it dry, you highlight the cracks with a solvent based antiquing paste, or you can use eye shadow, which is a much cheaper alternative and it looks fantastic. I use brown, gold, silver, dark grey or whichever colour I think will suit my project. Brown or dark grey Eye shadow also looks great over clear wax, especially on detailed clay mouldings. I put some clear wax on a cloth and rub it all over the moulding, let it set for 30 minutes, and then rub some eye shadow over the wax, into the crevices of the moulding, to highlight the details. And, if you don't like the result, then you can just use more clear wax to remove the eye shadow and start again. Lots of love from Amanda Jones in Australia

I cannot believe how talented you are. These are just amazing recipes, Irene. I am really anxious to try the fabric flowers as I despise the plastic flowers that are for sale anymore. Thank you very much for all the work you put into this video, I have saved it so I may refer to it at any time.

I just love your gorgeous ideas! My favorite of all of these is the transparent contour paint to make it look like water. My next favorite is the textured contour paste. Just wonderful bases for my imagination! Btw, I'm praying for BOTH your country and Ukraine because I know it must be awful to have to be in the middle of such a mess😥 We are all brothers and sisters and children of God....be safe, Irene❤️

I think puffy paint would be similar to contra paint, but it's so expensive that I'll definitely try yours. Thank you so much for all of these recipes

Thank you so very much for sharing your recipes with us. As an artist this is a wonderful gift for those of us can not find the paints and pastes that you use. I was an art teacher for many years and always shared recipes and techniques... I have now added you to my treasured subscriptions. Thank you again and many blessings sent to you.

[@barbaraking6499]

Thank you

[@MissMolly3377]

I'm loving this, I watch a channel called "Creative Cat," and she makes all her own home made craft supplies. She makes a paper clay, puffy paints, gesso, silicone molds, for her clay, and so much more. You might enjoy her channel, if you ever need to make something, and can't think of what to do, she might have a recipe. Her paper clay maybe an easier dough, for you, if you have calcium carbonate. I am always so excited to try to make my own supplies. I use calcium carbonate, for my chalk paint, but I have some different clays here that my daughter uses, for face masks. She has a black and white clay, but I am not sure if it will work. It is bentonite clay. I like the look of clay based paints. Thank you, for all of the ideas. I like how you make the molds, less waste for the silicone.

[@IrenesDIY]

Thanks, will have a look at her channel!!

[@peggyreid6836]

I love your channel. You are just full of ideas. I was wondering if sandwich bags would work instead of plastic sleeves?? Greetings from the U.S.A.

[@anasoliscaballero6896]

Gracias Irina tienes un corazón enorme. Ahora de la caja de información podré sacar la información de como preparar las mezclas para los trabajos. Dios te bendiga siempre. Saludos con mucho cariño.

[@IrenesDIY]

Muchas gracias, Ana!

[@bobbiejobatt-hensley2905]

👍👍👍👍

[@EmjayxD]

Amazing video! Thank You so much for all these amazing recipes. I love them all. I have a question- what kind of fabric do You use for artificial flowers?

[@IrenesDIY]

Thanks a lot! Actually I use any smooth fabrics I have on hand (old rope works great sometimes:)), best is to use silky fabrics, as such fabric is very smooth and fabric threads are not visible much. ButI used cotton as well, it will also work)

[@musicgirl4u188]

Great recipes, thank you. How well does your smooth modeling paste work in silicone molds?

[@IrenesDIY]

Hi, thanks! If you mean the very first recipe- I've never tried it in molds) I know people mix acrylic caulking sealant with drywall compould and fill molds with this mixture to get flexible casts - but haven't tried this myself

[@FreeSpirit-soul]

Grazie! ❤ sto imparando moltissimo dai tuoi tutorials! Vorrei chiederti gentilmente se potresti fare/modificare, un gruppo di gnomi da giardino? Mi piacciono molto quelli classici, ma non mi piace come vengono fatti quelli moderni, hai qualche idea per far sembrare un angolo del giardino come una piccola aldea di gnomi con la tua tecnica di pittura e i tuoi customs? Grazie mille! Un saluto dall’Italia! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💯🧚🏼‍♂️

[@mohamedraaifrushdhy6693]

Can we have more please... I think you know more DIY materials right?

[@gred_and_forge]

Is there a homemade modeling clay recipe you'd recommend if we dont have the plaster powder?

[@Noun0fUrbizneSS]

Have you ever watched Moonlight Cottage ASMR? You look like the host of that channel. (to me anyway)

[@IrenesDIY]

Yes, I love watching Diana, and I was inspired by her when created the new channel🥰

[@Noun0fUrbizneSS]

@@IrenesDIY Yes, she is quite talented as well.

[@lauramailhot9364]

Baby powder and corn starch are the same

[@IrenesDIY]

No, baby powder is made of talc
