Ever run out of mod podge, or wish you had the recipe to whip up some fun paint for your kids? Here are 4 quick DIY craft supplies you'll be thanking me for!
Supply #1 - For the first supply, start by adding school glue to the bottom of disposable cups.
Next, top the glue off with a generous amount of shaving cream.
Add a few drops of food coloring and mix the ingredient well.
You've just made DIY puffy paint! I must say, as a 24 year old woman, this was quite fun to use. It's fluffy and fun and would be awesome to paint with your fingers!
Supply #2 - Start with a bag of skittles. (resist the urge to eat them all)
Separate the colors into individual cups and cover them with corn syrup.
I let mine sit overnight but you could start to see a color change within the first few hours. This makes a fun glossy paint! Not to mention it smells AMAZING!
Supply #3 - Mix equal parts glue and water. I'm sure you may know where this is going...
You've got yourself homemade mod podge! I've got to say, this will give the store bought one a run for it's money. Its worked great for decoupaging this pot!
Supply #4 - Run to your kitchen and you'll find all the ingredients for this project.
Mix 3/4 cup of cold water
2 tbsp of corn syrup
1 tsp of white vinegar
2 tbsp of corn starch
I let mine sit for an hour to set up.
Viola! You've got homemade school glue.
All 4 of these supplies were so easy to make and so quick. Let me know what other DIY craft supplies you've tried!
