How to Make Your Own Watercolors
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons Baking Soda
- 3 tablespoons Vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tsp. Light Corn Syrup
- food coloring
Directions: Mix ingredients together (you'll get a little bit of fizzing), then divide the mixture up into containers of whatever size you choose. Use foil or regular muffin tins, ice trays etc. Once the ingredients are mixed, you add in the food coloring and mix well.
Let the paints harden, (you can even place them in empty lipgloss containers that you will find in travel sections), then wet the paint brush and use it just like store brand watercolors!
Enjoy the summer!
