Watercolour painting is always a fun activity. What if I told you that you could customize and create your very own set of paints? And that is exactly what I will be showing you in this blog post! What's great about this DIY tutorial is that you will know  every ingredient used in the watercolour. Plus, it's a great way to spend a boring afternoon.

MATERIALS:

- 1/2 cup Baking soda
- 1/2 cup Cornstarch (corn flour)
- 1/2 Tablespoon Corn syrup
- 3/8 cup White vinegar
- Food colouring (I'm using gel)
- Ice cube tray or any container for the watercolours
{Good to fill 1 ice cube tray} 

Using an ice cube tray to hold these watercolour paints is suggested. Long bead containers are also a good option and a great way to make the paints portable.

1. Combine the baking soda & white vinegar

Make sure to pour the vinegar in slowly to prevent the mixture from overflowing. Mix thoroughly. 

2. Add in the corn syrup

3. Add in the cornstarch

The end result should be like a crepe batter consistency and the mixture should be very smooth and without any lumps.

4. Pour the mixture into its container 

Mix while you pour the mixture to prevent the cornstarch from sinking to the bottom. 

5. Take a popsicle stick and use it to add in the food colouring

The colour of the paint will appear lighter on paper, so make sure each colour is well pigmented. Add in some glitter if you would like. 

6.  Allow the mixture to dry for at least 2-3 days before using it
