Description

Make your own colorful, textured puffy paint using simple ingredients for fun art projects.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup shaving cream (foam, not gel)
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • Food coloring (any color)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or craft stick for stirring
  • Paintbrushes (for applying the paint)


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, shaving cream, salt, and baking powder.
  2. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir until you get the desired color.
  4. Use a paintbrush to apply the puffy paint to your paper, canvas, or any other surface.
  5. Allow the paint to dry. As it dries, the paint will puff up and create a textured, 3D effect.
  6. For faster drying, you can place the painted surface in a warm, dry area.

Notes

Store any leftover puffy paint in an airtight container. It’s best to use it soon after making it for optimal results.
