Glitter Paint

Kids LOVE to paint. They do! I would be a liar if I didn't admit to cringing at the thought of getting out the paints.   Covering the table and floor with paper, covering the kids with aprons,  painting shirts, full body hazmat suits...  And then there is the clean up! Yikes!  Don't even get me started on the clean up...  :)
 So when I was attended a class that introduced a very simple glitter paint recipe I sat up straighter and took out my pen to copy it down.  Turns out I didn't need to write it down.  It's so easy... Two ingredient!  That's it!  Cheap, easy, and no paint stains!  Best of all the kids LOVE to paint with it!  It's better than regular paint, cause it has GLITTER in it. Who knew?







What you need:
One large bottle of clear -the  cheapest you can find - hair gel, extra fine glitter in a variety of colors, paint brushes, and small clear containers with lids - check you local craft store.




Pour the glitter in the bottom of the containers, cover with gel and stir.  And let them PAINT!



 How fun is that?

Easy peasy, cleans up in a snap, no stains, and did  I mention it has glitter in it?






Happy painting everyone!
