Craft work

Every now and then, C comes home with some craft work that she has done in school. She proudly showed this piece to Daddy and me when we got back this evening.

Hmm... I find it really interesting because I thought it was just paint initially until I took a closer look. She had done this in salt paint. I looked at Daddy and asked him what salt paint is and he shook his head too.

Updates:

I found out what salt paint is. Thanks to Dr Google!

I even found out how to make salt paint!

Things You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup of liquid starch
• 1/2 cup water
• Medium bowl
• Smaller containers
• Food coloring
• Coarse salt or table salt
• Paintbrush

Step1

Measure out 1/2 cup of liquid starch into a medium-sized container.

Step2

Add 1/2 cup of lukewarm water to the liquid starch and stir until it becomes a paint-like consistency.

Step3

Separate the mixture out into smaller containers to make several colors.

Step4

Add a few drops of food coloring of your choice to each small container of mixture.

Step5

Stir each container of paint until the coloring is completely blended and even.

Step6

Add a pinch of coarse salt or table salt to each color to make your paint look glittery.

Step7

Apply the paint with a paintbrush onto your paper or use this paint as a finger paint.
