If you don't mind losing control over your artwork and don't fear the unknown, then paint pouring is for you! This Craft is messy, no doubt about that. It is a fast and unpredictable experiment, there are not many "touchups" and fixings to be made. You get what you get. And I like that idea. For example, the brown and pink below... not planned. My nephew had added paints together BEFORE the glue was added into one of the colors....so they mixed. It happens and we have to learn to be at peace with the "mess-ups". The more I looked at it the better I liked it, and the color scheme actually works.
Paint pouring on bottles can be a bit difficult as it is a cylindrical shape and you can't really get the whole surface covered at once. This is one reason why I stuck with a simple swirly and stripy design. With that in mind, I got out at least 5 colors. You can also use leftover paint from one of your paint parties! Just try not to let the colors mix like my last two did! Haha! Paint pouring on bottles can be a bit difficult as it is a cylindrical shape and you can't really get the whole surface covered at once.

Supplies:
* 4-8 Acrylic paint colors (the cheaper the better!)
* Elmer's glue or Floetrol - Fortifies acrylic and latex paints to improve performance and reduce brush marks.
PIXISS POURING OIL - I didn't have it but this will help create "Cells" if wanted in the work.
Graduated Solo cups with measurements
latex or non-latex gloves - which I didn't use because I'm savage.
mixing sticks
Here, this lesson is in a bit of a different format. Watch our "Chaotic" live video from FB (or if it doesn't work message me for the full video in Dropbox.)
Let me know how yours comes out!
