I have been a fan of Moroccan candle holders and have wanted to try making them for a while now. I could use the store bought puffy paint but where is the fun in that? I decided to try out homemade puffy paint and I love how easy it was! Check out my little moroccan votives! These pretty Moroccan votives are made with homemade puffy paint!

I have been a fan of  Hefty® Slider bags. I used them recently to make these personalized favor bags too. I used them for this project too since they are super strong and sturdy thanks to the MaxLock® track design! Plus Hefty® Slider Bags cost less than Ziploc® Slider Bags, when comparing the same type of bag (freezer/storage) and size (quart/gallon) of the closest price point. I got my Hefty® Slider bags at Walmart and you should too! Plus check out this Ibotta offer to save $1 at Walmart just for you!

Materials to make Homemade puffy paint –

  • Shaving Cream
  • White glue
  • All purpose flour
  • Food coloring or craft paint (I used burgundy craft paint)Make your own homemade puffy paint for DIY decor projects!

The recipe I used for DIY puffy paint is

  • ¾ cup shaving cream
  • ¼ cup white glue
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour.
  • Color

I got this recipe for the best DIY puffy paint from The Artful Parent but instead of food coloring, I used craft paint. I started out with food coloring and quickly realized that red is actually going to give pink and the only way to get red is to add a LOT of food coloring or I could use craft paint! So I used the burgundy craft paint and it turned out perfect!
