Homemade Watercolor Paints

Picture Perfect Watercolors:

    • 4 tablespoons baking soda
    • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
    • ½ teaspoon glycerin
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • Red, blue, yellow food coloring
    • Mix the vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl or jar until mixture stops foaming. Add the glycerin and cornstarch and stir thoroughly. Pour the mixture into small containers or paint box compartments. Now you can experiment with color by adding a few drops of food coloring to each individual container. Mix each color thoroughly and leave (preferably overnight) to set.  Have fun!

  1. This sounds great! I have never been happy with those watercolor paints you get in the box.

    Just a quick question, I am assuming that this would stain clothes pretty badly, or am I wrong?
