DIY Coloured Embossing Paste

I first made my own Embossing Paste a few years back now and was really pleased with my recipe. There are loads of different methods on YouTube and Pinterest which I have tried but not really been happy with  the results.

Embossing pastes are so expensive and you only get a little amount. For $3-4 I can make loads!

Mine is thick and more of a dry texture to touch rather then wet. I keep mine in a air tight container and it lasts a very long time.

The colours you can make are endless as long as you use Acrylic Paint.

Here’ s my recipe…

1 Tablespoon of  any colour acrylic paint.

2.1/2 Tablespoons of PVA glue.

Quarter cup of Talcum Powder, I use the ones that are 99% Cornflour.

If your PVA glue is very runny then you may need to increase your Talcum Powder until you get a consistency like mine.

Check out my YouTube video below to watch how I made it.

You can add glitter to these to, just pour it in the more the better, its also great with heat embossing powders.

I would love to hear what you think and if you have any other good recipes that work well for you.

Let me know.

  1. Hi Sam, Thanks for sharing your recipe for embossing paste. It looked so easy that I had to give it a try. I couldn’t find any non-sented baby powder and used 100% conr starch instead. I had to ad more powder and my paste isn’t as dry as yours but it works beautifully. I really love it.

  2. Hi Mirande, Your more then welcome. I understand that a lot of people will all have different brands and slight variations so consistencies may be different. Its great that yours has turned out well, its so much cheaper this way. x
