Ingredients :
3tbsps sugar
1/2tsp salt
1/2 cup corn starch
2cups water
Food colorings
Method :
1) Dissolve all ingredients in a pot.
2) Gently heat while stirring till the mixture thickens.
3) Remove from heat and add in desired food colorings.
I made a few colors out of this mixture. The colors are not very intense, but just nice. The paints have glue-like texture, which I found to be good as they do not get spilled easily. Even if they do spill, the paints can be cleaned easily.
Stored each of these colors separately in medicine box, which is perfect as they come in a few small compartments. The excess are stored in containers, tightly sealed and kept in a cool, dry place. I would not recommend keeping them in fridge as the starch will hardened. The sugar and salt act as preservatives.
