Ingredients
- Sugar
- Water
- Food dye
- Paintbrush
- Paper
Instructions
- Mix the sugar and water. Place sugar and water in a bowl and stir them together. Continue mixing until the liquid has a syrup-like consistency.
- Divide the mixture into separate bowls. Pour or spoon portions of the sugar-water mixture into separate bowls for different colors.
- Add food dye. Add a different food dye color to each portion and stir until the color is distributed through the mixture.
- Paint your design. Dip the paintbrush into a colored portion and apply the mixture to the paper to create a picture, pattern, or freeform design.
- Let the picture dry. Set the painted paper aside and allow it to dry without moving or stacking it.
- Clean up carefully. Wash the bowls and brush after use and wipe away any spills.
Notes
Choose paper that can handle being brushed with a wet mixture, and test the mixture on a small corner or spare piece first if unsure.
