Stay Home and Paint #withme
--Here is what you need--
Flat surface to paint on like a kitchen table.
Plastic sheeting or trash bag to protect your painting surface.
Paper, cardboard, old wood, canvas, or any other hard flat objects to paint on.
Acrylic paint - craft paints, paint kits from IKEA or other retails work great for this. You can use tempera paint also. It is just a little bit thicker than acrylic and will need to a bit more water to get the right consistency.
Glue - This can be school glue, clear glue, or glue-all. Any will work.
Cups - We prefer plastic cups but paper Dixie cups will work too.
Level - Make sure your painting surface is level
Water
--Optional Items--
Thumbtacks, hooks, or cups to get your painting surface off the ground. This lets the paint drip off the surface and helps contain the mess a little bit more.
Latex Gloves - acrylic paint washes off skin pretty easily but why risk it?
--Steps for Pouring with Kids--
â–ºCover the paint surface
â–ºMeasure your painting surface and calculate the surface area. Divide the surface area by 25 to figure out how many ounces of paint you need (SA/25 = ounces of paint needed)
â–ºDecide how much of each color you want to to use. The total oz should = the amount you figured out in the previous step.
â–ºMeasure 1/2 the amount of a color you want on pour that much into a single cup. Pour the same amount of glue into the cup and mix well. Check consistency. Ad needed add a little bit of water and stir until you get the consistency mentioned in the video.
â–ºPour your paint into a larger cup.
â–ºPour paint onto your painting surface
â–ºEnsure all of the surface is covered and make sure there isn't a lot of paint left on the surface. It will move a lot if there is too much paint. If there is too much, tip off the edges (preferably on a side where you don't like the design.
â–ºLet the paint dry for 2 to 3 days. This will be dry to the touch then. Don't mount until the paint has has 2-3 weeks to cure.
â–ºEnjoy your home made art
