When using stencils I always keep a shallow container of warm water near by, that way I can put the stencil in immediately, meaning I can come back to clean it when I'm ready, but can still handle it gently.
Great tip Allison! thanks a lot ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
This is soooo easy to make, and looks like it works perfectly! Why would anyone ever buy the expensive stuff??? Thanks for another brilliant idea!
you're bang on Carey! it's a time to save money hope your day is wonderful 🦋 hugs Donna
Sadly, some people don’t think that something “cheap” or DIYed can ever be good quality or work as well as the expensive stuff. Doesn’t matter what it is, and I think that’s ridiculous lol
Excellent! I used baby powder, Elmers glue and white acrylic paint! I then mixed a little bit of color with some to create different color paste💙It was absolutely perfect! Inexpensive and works wonderfully👍
Yay!! this what i love to hear, thanks for letting me know it worked out well for you, the adding of colour is a great idea ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
In what proportion, please?
@@crismisul4460Hi! I used 1 cup of baby powder, a 1/4 cup of Elmers Glue, and a 1/2 a cup of white acrylic paint. I love it ❤
Will this long last to stay in canvas, ? give
@@DistortedRainbowsArt my paste with baby powder cracked when dried what can I do?
I’m so excited to find an Australian crafting UA-camr. Obviously I am now a subscriber. ❤️🇦🇺
yay! g'day Loretta nice to meet you which state are you in?
Me too Loretta.
@@JunkJournalideas hi 👋🏼I’m in WA. Where are you located?
@@lorettalee4029 i'm in NSW in the upper hunter valley, wine country, horse capital and black gold (coal mines every where) my sister is in WA
Yes, I'm also an Australian and live in the ACT.
Thank you for such a thorough tutorial. I appreciate that you have pointed out that the baby powder is now made of cornstarch, I noticed that the other day when I picked some up. I will be using your recipe, so I thank you for sharing!
I’ve subscribed, thank you again for all of your efforts.
thanks for your compliment and the sub! some peeps say talc in the baby powder is bad, so cornstarch it is, you'll love it it's a great recipe happy creating ✨ ♥︎♡☆🦋Donna
@@JunkJournalideas thank you! I will be trying to make air dry clay with it as well, though that recipe (by a sweet lady at the channel Creative Cat) calls for cornstarch, and I am not sure if I will be able to use the same cornstarch baby powder for that as well? I will try it, but I’m not that familiar with regular cornstarch… is it similar to the cornstarch baby powder? Do you know? Thank you for the fast response and I will be watching some more of your videos, there’s so much inspiration here!
I was wondering how it holds up in journals. Does it flake off?!
@@carolyncampbell8126 I have been using homemade texture paste for years and it doesn't flake off. It has the glue to hold it together.
Your video made the project look very easy, without needing to buy much - I have cornstarch, white paint and glue! I even have the palette knife! Your examples with the stencils have given me some ideas for gifts this Christmas! Well crafted!
Thanks so much Mary, I'm glad I could help! I’m so excited for UA-cam to roll out the sharing community feature here on my channel! Soon, you’ll be able to share pictures of your creations. Have fun crafting! 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Thank you for amazing video tutorial:) In old version of this powder is talc and in talc is asbestos...so, that`s it. Even for hands is dangerous. Just fun fact from Czechia:)
you are most welcome @kreativnibec, good thing that old powder is no longer, it's nice of you to educate others ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Yes! Talc is a mineral that is contaminated with asbestos. It should never be used. In the US J & J was sued for causing ovarian and testicular cancer. They engage in a lot of coverups and test all their products repeatedly on animals despite animal testing being poor science. Animal tests give them plausible deniability. I don’t buy any of their products because of a long history of deceptive practices. Ex. Baby powder is not tested once on animals, instead these tests are conducted repeatedly on animals with same results to protect the company from negligence. A common practice sadly.
Did not know that, no wonder JnJ was sued for causing cancer. Yikes, cornstarch type it is!
ty queeen !!! this is gonna help me bunches in art class this semester x
Oh that's great I only wish we had YT when I was in school!! lol it works a treat ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Great video as always Donna!!! Your so informative and fun to listen too.. this isn’t much of a tip, but I have a cheap basin that I fill with warm water and a little bit of washing soap beside me, when I’m done using the pallet knives and stencils..I just throw them into the basin to soak. I clean them in the there and then give them a second washing in the sink.
I kinda get busy making art and tend to set my stencil or knives to the side, well… there much harder to clean when they are dry.. hence why had to do this method.. 😅❤..
Have a wonderful day my friend/ twinsie.. 😊🎄♥️
it's a great tip twinsie! I think we all get lost in the moment, i refuuuuse to stop to clean up. the basin is a great idea so we can keep going. (beats resting it on top of my bin lol)
😄🌲❤ xx
@@JunkJournalideas yea… it’s the only way, I can keep going.. lol!!
@judithgerard9918 thank you!! It’s the only way I can keep going. Lol!

Hi Donna, Rob K here. Thanks for a great video, just need some texture and my store bought one is hard. So I'll try this one to save having to go into town. When I am stencilling, I always have a bucket of water on the floor beside me and I drop everything into the water as I finishsh with it so that it doesn't dry and go hard. 💜💜💜
hey Rob@@ariesgirl3444this works a treat! you'll love it. let me know how it goes, thanks for the bucket tip, I have some short sided 12 x 12 tubs that would be 👌 crafty hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas 💜💜💜
thank you, very nice info
super glad it can help Klaudia happy creating ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
For cleanup just keep a pan of water next to you like a cheap roaster. Stencils will lay flat and so will the knives. Just drop them end until you are finished working. The water will break down the binders so it will go down the sink fine.
great tip thanks Oonagh ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Thank you so very much for posting this. Can’t wait to try it out.

@@JunkJournalideas Made smaller amount and used it yesterday with my stencils, which although bit small ~Im hopeful of a good result, haven't checked yet but Im hoping its worked! Thanks again.
I've read your message 12 hours after your post, everytime i make the full batch i never get to use it all before it goes off, i think ill do 1/2 like you have, now it's dry what do you think?
@@JunkJournalideas The stencils have dried really well & dont seem brittle. Ive no idea what kind of baby powder I had. The small amount I made is still viable right now, it's in a lidded plastic container but I'll admit it does seem a little harder though I can still stir it. I probably dont need a lot more , but I think if I do decide to do more( I dont like the stencils I have as they're a tad small~) I wondered if I might put a teaspoon or less of either acrylic or even the glue?
@@CHRISTINE-r6l perfect! yes add a little more paint if its stiff and holding up great, you probably wont need anymore glue id say, if it doesnt say talc on the back of the package its probaly cornstarch blend 😃
Thank you so much Donna, I really really appreciate you bringing this to us all. I’m definitely going to make some of this, rather than buying the expensive one. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
you are so very welcome Mags, it is such a great recipe and really does the job nicely, you too stay safe and have a great day ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
I don’t put white acrylic paint in it since I want it to be transparent so I can mix it with any color. No need for it to be white.
thanks for the tip do you just double up the glue for the wet ingredient?
Thanks, I needed that!!! Can't wait to try it. :)
well thank you Gigi you'll love it!! ✨ ♥︎♡☆

I wonder if you can use white gesso in place of the white acrylic paint
That's an interesting thought Kelly! I haven't tried using white gesso in this recipe myself, but it might work since gesso has a similar base. It could give a slightly different texture, though, depending on the gesso's consistency. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it turns out! 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
thank you so much for this x

We are doing fine! Yes it has been a long while. Hope you and the family are doing great!❤️
@@DonebyDorothy we should catch up private one day soon x
I use hot soapy water. I figure any glue is going to be dissolved and will go down the drain without any issues. I do this with all of my acrylic brushes as well and the stencils.
yeh great tip thanks Kerry it works a treat, I make a right mess so i wipe the chunky bits off first hugs Donna 🦋😃
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE TEXTURE RECIPE I AM GOING TO TRY THIS
You are so welcome Erlinda😊 have fun it works a treat 🥰🦋 hugs Donna
Thank you
you're welcome Candi ♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Thanks for this video and your tips. I’ve made my own texture paste, too, but without the glue-just straight acrylic paint and baby powder. I’ve got one small collage piece I did two years ago using it and the stencil work is still intact. One thing: adding baby powder to acrylic paint reduces the natural gleam of the paint , so when it dries it looks more matte than straight acrylic paint, maybe a bit more like chalk paint. I’m wondering if your formula, with the pva glue, helps to keep a bit of the shine.
my pleasure Ocher, that's interesting to know it works without the glue, and no it's not got a shine it's still quiet matt when dried. ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Hello! I love the gridded stencil you used. Please share the stencil details, if available. Thank you.
helo Francene, it might be KaiserCraft? it was my mums and all the big 12 x12" blue stencils that I have that were hers still in the packet have KaiserCraft on them. hope you can find it I use it a lot. ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
You may be able to use a piece of the scrap drawer liners or the same thing they use for under carpet to keep it in place. I like to keep small pieces of different fabric/ wrappers eg: bags that are a netted type, that your onions or potatoes come in.
Great tutorial. Just wondering why you soevify baby powder and not just any powder. Maybe it is finer.
thanks Susane, I use baby powder because it is very fine and easy to get a hold of, you can also use corn starch if you don't mind using a food grade powder, its fine as well and it's an ingredient used in the baby powder now rather than talc that used to be used many years ago. I havent used the cornstarch i've only used baby powder and it works a treat 😍🥰🦋 hugs Donna
Thank you. Question....Can you add to store bought paste that is to thin?
I would give it a go, make a batch using this recipe into a thick concistency and ad small bit at a time to see how it mixes. let me know how it goes? 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
What purpose does the paint serve, besides color ? Which everyone is adding color to it anyways.
hey Audrey, the paint is to add smoothness so it's not too dry, water can evaporate and crack. the paint will help it flow nicely happy crafting ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
How can you store for next project ?
just keep it in a jar with tight lid, it's a small amount that you make but it only keeps for a month or 2 before it grows mould. it's best to use it before it goes mouldy ♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
i have just seen this and wondered how you would incorporate it into a journal. would a sentiment stick to it.
Hi Rowena, theres a few ways you can use it, on the edge of your pages, on tags and yes you can glue something over the top of it if that's what you mean about the sentiment 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas thank you.
Couldn't you just use grout that is used for tile? I have a lot of that left from tile in my bathroom.
hey Jan, i know what you mean, I guess you could try it as long as it's not too wet a mix, iv'e never used it let me know if you try it? 🦋 hugs Donna
I have successfully used it.
I personally use the drywall spackle, it's cheap n worx great lol
Like the idea❤ how if i want the result a bit high to make relief finish.thx
thanks Khadija, if you want it a bit higher make the recipe a bit thicker, but just know its designed for basic crafting with stencils that arent that raised 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
do we add clolours to this mixture or we add colour in place of white paint to get colout?
the variation colour i have used is a cream using a bit of yellow to the white, it's only ever been subtle to take the stark white away, and then no need to add colour over top.
if you want to use blue paint instead of white you can, but your colour will be dictated by the amount of paint you use as the recipe (same amount as if it was white) if you have some pigment paints you could add that if you want more colour bc pigment shouldn't alter the recipe too much. hope this helps Sudarshan hugs Donna
Oh wow I always thought it was baking soda. I think I have baking powder on hand. Thank you
hey Marlene I used baby powder, or you can use cornflour not the baking powder ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
How do you prevent it from cracking when it dries?
let it air dry slowly, don't speed it up by putting it in the sun or extreme heat, i haven't had any cracking with air drying
Hi, your purple stencil in the video is lovely - where is it from please? TIA
It sure is lovely thanks Jennifer, I don't know where this stencil is from it was my Mums and she is a crafty angel now ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Thanks for the recipe, it seems so close to the store bought why spend money buying it.
it is close and for home crafters its close enough, just know that if you only use it occasionally to only make this small batch bc it will mould if not used in 3 to 4 weeks depends on the conditions, i've had it last longer as well. have a crafty day ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
thanks so much for a great video but can i ask if you added a bit more glue would it make the paste more flexable for pputting into moulds.
@@christinejones6752 unfortunately I haven't tried this Christine, I know the way it is now it dries firm, maybe you should look for a recipe more suited to moulds because it uses silicone which makes thw mix pliable, good luck with your search 😀 🦋🌸 hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas thanks so much will try the silicone again..
I clean with baby wipes first, then wash.
great tip thanks! 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Can you add coloured paint and glitter ?
yes Michelle you can add coloured paint I have done a video on this, but I havent tried the glitter. make a batch and take out a tablespoon put it aside in a little container and add some glitter and see if you like it :-) 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
@JunkJournalideas ok I will do thank you 😊
Hi from Ireland. Thanks for recipe. Do you have any recipes for antiquing paste. Pentart make it but can't seem to get here. Also, any idea how to make crackle glaze or crackle varnish. Expensive items as well. All art materials cost a lot really. Any ideas would be appreciated. ❤
No, sorry Deborah, i havent I only use this texture paste ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Can you add sparkle to it?
hi Nancy, I think you could yes, you could mix it in a small amount at a time to get the look you like, or you could sprinkle it on top after you have used it in your stencil while its still wet. this way you would have the texture paste as is, and add sparkle to it at will. 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
@ thank you. I need to try this 🥰
@@NancyKluz-tb7ij the sparkle sounds nice Nancy, enjoy experimenting x
Perfect..thank you for your informations.
Is it suitable for making
Russian flowers?
I'd be greateful.❤
if they are a drawing in stencil form of course yes, happy creating ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Thanks for sharing! Do you think using corn starch instead of the baby powder would work as will?
hi Rimas, I've never made it with cornstarch, but yes you can let me know how it goes I f you try it 🦋❤️
I've jusd across your vudeo, just when i resllt needed it! I'm working on a large painting full of texture but reslly need the texture to have stuff peaks. I saw someones comment saying it is only good for stenciling? Could you offer me any advice? If i just make it a little thicker that should hold right? Would really appreciate any advice you could offer and thank gou in advance! ❤
hey blankcanvas, yes make it a lot thicker and you will get peaks. test it first and if it doesnt work you, you may need to change product
Thanks for the explanations of the recipe Donna. I had wondered why I couldn't buy Talcum Powder any more !
I'll try with Cornflour - UK name - it is rather confusing to me in the UK that common or garden household stuff has different names. e.g. Baking Soda = bicarbonate of soda, not "Baking Powder" (Bicarb + tartaric acid/cream of tartar - see what I mean?)
So my question is - do you know what "spackling paste" is? It seems to be used by modellers to add texture. Is it "Polyfiller?" Can YOU make it?
Re cleaning up -
I'd have a washing up bowl of warm soapy (washing up liquid) water handy. Pop the stensils in as soon as you have finished with them and rinse the paste off immediately. Ditto a jam jar of water to keep the spatula in when it is not in use. Kitchen Roll (paper towel) at the ready! There's nothing harmful in the ingredients. I'm the responsible dish washer any way!😇
you're welcome Jacky, changing the talcum powder recipe is not surprising these big companies all about cuts to make more money.
the names get me too i'm always googling lol.
"spakling paste" is what builders use to either repair or finsing plaster walls, it's handy for crafting!
I'm not sure if you can make it? i havent tried.
thanks for your cleaning up tip paper towel is awesome stuff!
it's been lovely chatting ❣ 🦋hugs Donna
If i want cracks in the texture paste for a canvas what can i do?
i have made this recipe many times and it has not cracked, if you fast dry it, it may crack, leave it to air dry slowly then it should not crack. 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Can you use this paste for making flowers?
Hi Marie can you elaborate? do you mean use this paste in a mould? if so it's not a moulding paste no. try an air dry clay or air dry modeling paste diy recipe for this ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
I mean can you use this paste for 3 dimensional sculpture paste?
@@mariemuller2404 hhm I'm thinking maybe you might need something with a bit more body, try one of these 2 ideas... 1/ make this recipe thick as you can without being to dry that it cracks, and subtle enough that it can be manipulated with your pallet knife for instance. 2/ try using a water putty powder instead of the baby powder for a bit more body, you would mix it thick but still looking for that smooth consistency so that you can work with it. The one I have is this one and is a light tan brown colour, if you could find a brand in white it would be good prnt.sc/mI0iRUExW37X...happy researching and experimenting 😃
Hi. Can the PVA glue be replaced with Glossy Acrylic Medium? (Usually used for collaging or as glue.) I bought 2 big containers full at a sale not realising that it is glossy (I don't like glossy medium for college). And can I add Distress Oxide re-inker to add colour instead of the paint? I guess the glue would have to be more then? Maybe that's an experiment you would like to do and give us the results... Please? TFS this recipe ❤
hey Swannwillow, I don't know about the recipe change you have asked me about? I have not tried GAmedium bc the cheep glue works so well. I think I'll stick to the recipe as I always have bc it has served me well, by all means experiment with what you have and let me know how it goes if you do decide to alter it, tbh I have no clue as to how you would take the place of the acrylic paint portion if you eliminate it? ☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas Thanks Donna. I will think about it. I'm not much of a chemist, but if I do try the experiment I will let you know what happens. Hugs Swan 🌼
@@swannwillow9476 ok the outcome would be interesting, I would be tempted to buy a $2 tube of white acrylic paint and use the GAmedium instead of white glue & add your colour to the mix 😃
Will this work on styro foam?
I don't know the answer to this Cris? i've not tried it so i can't say, maybe worth an experiment if you can use it elsewhere as well, cheers Donna
Thank you for sharing. Can you add colour to this paste and how much🙏
you're welcome Elizabeth, yes you could change the white paint out for cream or blue stick to the recipe for starters and then add a little more if you want it darker 🤩🦋 hugs Donna
Whats the difference between plaster and baby powder ? And is necesarry to add white or any paint while mixing ? Or if we dont add ?
I haven't tested the recipe with plaster or without paint @habibawaseem1321 at a guess i would say it won't work well without paint (paint gives it a smooth consistency) and as for the plaster idk? 😄
Thank you, that is interesting!😃👍 Do you have experience that the homemade paste and glue last? Can you use them in work that you want to try selling? 🤔
hey Rikke, I reckon it lasts really well, if you mean once it drys on your medium. It will go off kept in the jar bc it has not additives involved. I personally would be confident in using it on works to for sale, just get your consistency right, and air dry to prevent cracks so it looks at it's best 🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas Thank you so much! 😃👍
Have you ever added mica powder or glitter to it to make it really shine? And if so, do you think you’d need to add more paint…or maybe powder?? Not sire which one would be needed!? Any suggestions?
hey @@pampam9590 I havent added mica powder or glitter but you sure can, no need to change the recipe just add it in with the paint and glue and stir. you can always add more powder if you like your paste thicker 🥰🐝🌹🦋 crafty hugs Donna
How many tablespoons contqin the big spoon you have?
hey Elizabeth the recipe is in both the video and on my website link is under the description TᕼᗩᑎKᔕ ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Great video! I was wondering if you have any trouble with this cracking when it dries? Mine did and I have no idea what I did wrong!
no mine has never cracked, did you air dry it?
@@JunkJournalideas yes I did air dry. When it was too thick, I added a little water, could that have caused the cracking?
Hi dear I used cornstarch glue and paint I didn't maid to much just 2 tablespoon cornstarch I tablespoon glue. And some paint mix good but it look like glue I stencils to try it not dry thing but look glue what I did wrong please let me know
you can use cornstarch, but if you want to use a smaller amount than i use in this recipe, just halve the recipe, don't change the amounts for each part other than half. it will then work...if it's too wet add a little more cornstarch at a time untill you get it how you want it, if it's too dry add a little more paint a tiny amount at a time stiring as you go ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
@JunkJournalideas Thanks dear I will do that God bless you 🙏
Thanks so much for recipe. And guid me I did on my old placemats I paint them than I stencils them it look so nice I put some griter on top look so nice so happy 😊 thanks again make move videos please 🙏 God bless you
so glad i could help and they worked out for you, thanks for letting me know
Has anyone tried any fine glitter/ embossing powder? Not sure if it will show through. Thanks in advance🤗
I've not tried it Pat, I don't use glitter much at all to be honest. ✨ ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Would you be able to use this as a relief paste? it would need to be a touch more fluid to go through the mini icing bag, so what do you think I should thin it down a little with, that will allow it to 'draw' an outline on canvas please?.... thank you
I've never used it the way your asking about, but I would add a little more paint, are you using acrylic paint? maybe something that makes acrylic paint flow. but be careful bc if it's too wet it will loose its shape, like it won't stay raised, test it out
Hi Donna, will this texture paste work as a resist for Distress Oxide inks?
hey Lin I don't have any oxide in my stash, but i'm thinking the oxide would more than likely colour the texture paste rather than act as a resist? the paste is kinda porous, but only a test would really tell you for sure ♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
Could you use corn starch instead of baby powder?
I have heard people have been, I havent tried it ♥︎♡☆🦋 hugs Donna
Would this also work if you wanted to flock it before you remove the stencil?
I don't know sorry, flocking is something I have not tried 🦋 hugs Donna
@@JunkJournalideas That's cool, I have been looking into flocking like wallpaper use to be flocked, and loved that when I was a kid rubbing the wallpaper that was flocked and looked so nice.
Does the home made texture paste crack or does it move with the paper like the professional paste does without cracking?
mine didn't crack at all, if your using on paper, and the stencils i use are quite thin, it shouldn't turn out thick enough to crack. I also air dry which helps ♥︎♡☆🦋 crafty hugs Donna
