DIY: Paint Pouring

March 6, 2019

 

You guys know I LIVE for crafts!!

So here is the breakdown of how to recreated that fun DIY art piece I made on the Today Show and on an episode of Trading Spaces.

It is super easy and fun (great for kiddos too – just make sure to have gloves, a drop cloth and some extra towels handy!)

What you’ll need: ( NOTE: you can shop blue links)
Canvas (any size – I used 8×10 in the video but the Trading Spaces one was way bigger)
Floetrol
Acrylic Paint of your choice
Silicone
Drop Cloth/Towels
Gloves (optional)
Disposable Cups
Craft Sticks to stir paint
You could also buy a bundle that comes with everything HERE
Directions
1. Mix two parts Floetrol with one part acrylic paint into each cup (every could should be done in it’s own cup)
2. Stir the Floetrol and paint combinations until there are no lumps in any of the paint
3. Add 5 to 7 drops (per 2 ounces of paint) of silicone into each cup (in every color except for white)
4. Stir
5. In a separate cup, add each mixture… one by one, layering each color (the Master Cup)
6. Pick up the canvas and lay flat on top of the Master Cup
7. Flip the canvas and the Master Cup over and lift the cup to let the paint disperse
8. Move the canvas around until the paint covers the whole canvas and you have the desired pattern
9. Lay flat and dry!
It’s that easy!! Share your pictures with me and leave a comment below!

      Treadmill lubricant worked for me. Just has to be 100% silicone. I bought it on Amazon.

    What if you want to do a very large version? Would you double or trip your mixtures and add In a much larger cup to pour on canvas or would you do individual cups allowing each to dry before spreading the next?
    Thanks, this looks fun!

    i am obsessed with this piece that you did! I see that you used White, Brick red, navy and cream, but there is one more color I can’t quite make out. IT’s a sandy color?
