Paris, from North London, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you do?
1 cup of plain flour
1 cup of water
1 tbs of washing liquid
Chalk in different colours
Squeezey tubes
Grater
Mix everything in a bowl grate the coloured chalk and mix if you need to add more chalk go for it (it will make the colour brighter )
Tip the mixture into the squeeze tube and of you go
Some tips:
Use on garden patio try not to use it when it’s very hot or use in the shade.
It can only be used for 1 day or mixture will separate .
Also if the mixture Doesn’t come out of the squeezey tube blend the mixture
On the patio use a hose or a jet washer to take the paint off the floor
Enjoy and have lots of fun
I mixed the mixture with a spoon but found it didn’t come out the tubes so I blended it with a hand blender then put it in the tubes and worked grate
Grate as much of the chalk in each colour and make them nice and bright
Gets very messy but lots of fun !
Do you have any other projects planned?
