Paint using food colouring!
I wanted to make my Mom a picture for her Birthday to match the new border in her hall, i used blues, greens n browns but u could use any colours x
(sorry the pic isnt very good, the colours come out a lot brighter than that)

  • Step 1

    Cut your material to the size you want, plain material is best (i used a bit of old curtain)

  • Step 2

    Choose your food colouring colours, put a few drops of each colour in seperate bowls an add a little water. This gives you a slightly lighter colour (add more or less water/food colouring to adjust colour)
    Then fill a bowl with just water.

  • Step 3

    Take your pipe cleaners or sponge n dip into the food colouring 'paint' and then paint onto your material using neat food colouring and watered down colours.
    You can use the plain water to blend the colours.

  • Step 4

    When its dry, add details using ribbons and beads and I added extra details with nail varnish.

  • Step 5

    Put in a frame and Happy Birthday Mom! x
