Adding crips 3 D details wasn’t easy. With this texture paint you can do it all. You can paint with it and on it. you can stencil and make textured art that I always wanted to do! Let’s make homemade mixed media texture art paste diy
There are lots of different kind of pastes you can find out there but they are a bit pricey and the ones I bought always missed that one 3D atributes so I decided to make my own after feeling its consistency.
If you love textured art but don’t want to spend a fortune on expensive modeling paste, this easy homemade texture paste recipe is one of my favorite DIY tricks. You can use it for textured canvas art, stencils, raised floral designs, thrifted decor makeovers, and so much more using simple ingredients you may already have at home.

SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE HOMEMADE mixed media texture PASTE
Let’s make homemade texture paint
Before we start gather your supplies. Use silicone mat to mix all my ingredients on it . They are available in the kitchen supply area at the Dollar Tree
I like to mix small quantities at the time so it is always fresh
- 1 Tablespoon of Compound
- 1 Tablespoon of Gorilla glue
- 1 1/2 tablespoon of plaster of Paris
Kneel all together with your putty knife for a good 2 minutes until all is combined. It should be nice and smooth
Your paste should be a bit thicker then toothpaste so if it is looser you just add a bit of Plaster or Paris but NO MORE then HALF of tablespoon at the time.
Ideally you would love to leave this paste to air dry to make sure all is holding its original shape that you applied.
It can be stored in air tight container wrapped in a saran wrap for 48 hours. At least that is what I tried so far
As I mentioned this texture paste does it all! Sooo happy that i can use for so many projects! See some of my tries below

This home made texture paste works on so many diy projects. As you can see you can use them with stencils on all surfaces and I tried so many already
