Make your own snow textured paint







Making your own snow texture paint is fairly easy.  You will need the following items:

Crumbled stone texture paint texturizer(purchased at Ace Hardware)
Measuring cup
Measuring spoons
Any White acrylic paint
Stiff bristle brush-to apply
Airtight container for storage
Fine glitter-optional
Paper towels for clean up

Pour about 1/8 cup of White acrylic paint into your measuring cup. I used a 1/4 cup to allow room for mixing. Now add 1 level tablespoon of the Crumbled stone texture to the White acrylic paint and mix with the handle of your brush. Simple as that. Apply to your project with a stiff bristle brush and allow to dry.  It will take several hours to dry.  The project shown above was done onto a mason jar lid. You may sprinkle with fine glitter to add a bit of sparkle if you choose.  This must be done when the snow texture paint is still wet.

  2. This is necessary if you have a new sheetrock wall or have a wall with a dark paint color that you are going to paint a lighter color. Several companies have developed a "primer and paint" combination. They have gotten rave reviews. And it will save you a step. Paint Brush Supplier
