My Craft Project.....Kool Aid Paint

I do hope everyone is keeping cool today...k and I are sure trying to do just that. Well I  wanted to share with you another way to use all of that Kool-aid, Why not Paint. Yep, you heard me correctly I decided to make paint with it. Now what to paint on water color paper, thick cardboard, or my favorite scraps of wood.  We made an video with all the sweet details in it.  Below is k enjoying the fun of it.


Here is K, in love with her found scrap of wood. If you don't have scrap wood laying around, head down to your local hardware stores you can pick up pieces for free or a small fee.

Then I had k take a piece of sandpaper and have at it. I did take a large sander to it and smoothed down the ends of it for her.
Then we moved inside, believe me it was sweltering hotting (102) sitting outside sanding k's scrap of wood pieces. So I covered the dining room floor and table with newspapers then set shop up. What you need for the paint-hot water and packages of kool-aid
Take 4T of Hot water and mix with 1 pkt of kool-aid and let them go at it.





This project cost less then $.10 for this project. If you don't have the other items on hand it may cost up to $3 for it. Below is an instructional video for making it.
