Easy DIY Chalk Paint With Ingredients You Already Have At Home

Prep Time2 minutes
Author: Crystal

Ingredients

  • -Corn Starch
  • -Water
  • -Food Coloring or Water Color Paints
  • -Mason jar muffin tin, plastic containers or something else to mix and hold your paint in.
  • -Brushes for painting. We used foam brushes from the craft store. Fingers are fun to paint with too.

Instructions

  • Mix 1 part water with 1 part corn starch. Shake or stir to combine. (I put 1 cup of corn starch with 1 cup of water in a mason jar. Put a lid on and shook it hard for 30 seconds.)
  • Pour your chalk paint base into/onto your pallet. (I used a muffin tin.)
  • Drop a few drops of food coloring or watercolor paint into your paint and stir to combine. Add more drops for a more vibrant shade. Don’t forget to mix colors to get different colors… red and yellow for orange, red and blue for purple, blue and yellow for green, etc.
  • Take your paint outside and have fun creating art! Mix the paint with your brush a little bit each time you dip in for more paint for best results. The corn starch will start to settle.
  • The colors will become even more vibrant as your chalk paint starts to dry. Want to turn it into a splatter paint party? Load your brush up and shake your brush with a flip of the wrist! Have fun!
