How to Make Homemade Texture Paint

Well times we live in now are really pushing all imagination at least in my case. It is not easy just to go to the store and get what you need so I decided to play a bit with what I have. My goal is to create painting medium.  My love for painting started with texture paintings since it seams much easier to make  so I thought …lol  I have made several and liked it. There is  nothing better that adding texture and dimension to your paper crafting projects. I also use that mix for some stencils. Wait till I show you what can you do with it … Homemade medium  is awesome! Canvas texture painting , stenciling is looking much better with it . Stencil with homemade media is my favorite


Don’t get me wrong those products below are super good but they are not always available when crafting juices are flowing .. so you got to make some yourself

    I would like to see the tutorial on the large textured flower (maybe sunflower). Your blog does not show how you made it.

      I am so happy to pass to you all what my Mom taught me .. So happy that you are enjoying it

    White paint only ? Do you think a gold metallic paint could be substituted ? I’m using stencils on furniture. Everything is so expensive, can only find these specialty paints from vendors on Etsy so that adds shipping. Always grateful for people like yourself that will share.

    This is a great idea and can work on so many fronts. Have you used this on anything that you used outside? It seems like it might deteriorate quickly outdoors.

    • justthatperfectpiece

      yes !
