I have had many requests to do a video on how I make my own gesso!!  So here it is!!  This saves me ALOT of money!!  It is really very simple and the ingredients are VERY inexpensive!!  This is all you will need:

A clean air tight container
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup white glue (school glue works just fine)
1/2 cup white paint (store brand craft paint, perfect)
1/4 cup baby powder (store brand works just fine)

You can play with the amounts of paint and baby powder to get to what ever consistency works best for you!!
