    I made this following someone’s recipe and they used marble dust (from a hardware store. The marble dust was left over after making my own clear gesso for a project. I’ve also made this using baby powder (your recipe) and it worked wonderfully. The least expensive one was the one using baby powder (or any kind of talcum powder) and the most costly was the marble dust but it wasn’t very expensive. I think the bag said ‘crushed marble’ and I wouldn’t have had it on hand if I hadn’t already made the clear gesso which is really expensive if bought in a retail store. I love the way you gave the instructions - easy to follow, and now I’m gonna have to make some more because I didn’t store it in an airtight container so it became unusable. Great video, love.

    Be aware some baby powders are just scented cornstarch, others are talcum powder. If you're using cornstarch-based baby powder, just buy regular cornstarch (like you cook with). Dollar stores probably carry cornstarch, not sure if they have talcum powder.

    Just starting to do artsy projects so very new to all of this. Two questions... Would mixing Elmer’s glue & corn starch - primary ingredient in baby powder - work? Could plain paste (no paint) be brushed over stencil adhered to project surface then painted over with light touch after it’s dried a bit instead of adding paint to paste? Really appreciate those of you who post videos, I’ve learned so much and doubt I’d ever have the nerve to do a video. Thank you.

    I’m not normally a jealous person, except when it comes to diy. Elmer’s school glue, 77 cents - I’m my dreams! The very same bottle of glue will cost you $6.50 here in Australia, and that massive price differential applies to virtually any diy material. I’m thinking it might be worth considering a holiday just to get supplies, the savings on a years worth of supplies would doubtless pay for my airfare..... thanks for the great idea tho, it’s one I’ll be trying😊

    I bought 2.5 euro worth of industrial acrylic paste/goo in a tube and a gun for that. Its used in the wall corners to seal them. Doesnt smell bad, only a little while drying. It works like a charm. Some thorough mixing and you are good to go. Cheaper than the one in the video. However I think I will try adding some powder to make it more hard and moldable.

    This thick goop gives texture to a art journaling page. It is not gesso which is used to give tooth or a gritty texture to a painting project. You smooth texture paste through a thin plastic or brass sheet stencil with a faux plastic credit card or palette knife to make bumps on paper, hence "texture." If you apply it too heavy, it will develop cracks on your art journal page. If it takes longer than 15 minutes to dry, then it is probably has been applied too heavily also. She is not using the talc powder on body parts in this craft recipe and most people have the common sense not to breathe in any powder floating in the air, whether it is talc powder, cornstarch, baking soda or flour, however, I don't know about you, just sayin'. Thank You Lynnea for sharing your recipe. Just what I was looking for. smile! -- Addition -- break it down to its basic elements: Dried Elmer's glue is like a plastic and dried acrylic paint is like a plastic and real talcum powder is a ground mineral.

    Hi, thanks for the video. How do you keep this paste from getting hard if you have to save it for later?
    Thank you

      Store it an air tight container like a mason jar.

    Great video! Thank you so much for sharing. My personal choice (and this is just my opinion) is baking SODA. (Not baking powder). I've been using white acrylic paint, Elmer's glue and baking soda and it works beautifully. :-) Thumbs up!

      @@slowef, I am so sorry! I know it's been two years since you posted your question and I am just now seeing it. Yes. You're correct. It is sodium bicarbonate, that is in baking soda. Again, sorry for not responding sooner.

    can you use this on chalkboards and it will come off, or is there a different recipe for removable paste?
