How to Make Paint Easily

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Place one resealable plastic bag inside another.

   Use large, "freezer" bags that aren't porous.
2. 2

   Step 2: Place the colored chalk inside the bags and seal tightly.

   , You may need to hammer the chalk for several minutes to get the powdery consistency you want.
   
   Break up the chalk as much as possible.
   
   Lumpy chalk will mean lumpy paint; powdery chalk will give you finer, smoother paint.
   
   If you wish, add another color chalk to the bag and form a color mixture. ,, The finer the paste, the smoother your paint will eventually be. ,, It may take 3 or more tablespoons of water to achieve the wanted consistency.
   
   Try to get the paint the consistency of a white glue, or perhaps thinner.
