  • 100 grams cornflour
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Lemon Juice
  • Food colouring (optional)
  • Chopping board

How to guide

  1. Pour equal parts Selleys Aquadhere Interior and Cornflour. In this example we did 100gm of each
  2. Add in 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice.
  3. Mix until it forms a slime like consistency. Place a the baking paper on the board and sprinkle with cornflour. Pour out slime mixture. and knead, folding in more cornflour as needed. It will start to form together and be less sticky or tacky.
  4. Once it gets to a dough like form, sprinkle more cornflour to prepare your surface. Roll and cut out shapes and allow them to dry for 24 hours before painting. Be sure to poke a hole at the top so you can thread through some string
  5. Once dry, it's time to decorate! You can paint your creations or brush on some more Selleys Aquadhere Interior and then sprinkle with glitter.

Handy Hints 

  • The more layers you apply, the more the decoration will recede into the background and look like a painting. If you do multiple layers, ensure you allow to dry between coats.
