For purple – Make the red first. Transfer half of the paint to a different container. With the remaining paint, add blue food coloring until you reach the desired shade of purple.
For orange – Make the yellow first. Transfer half of the paint to a different container. With the remaining paint, add red food coloring until you reach the desired shade of orange.
STEP 3. Now it’s time to paint your favorite treat! You may want to dedicate a special food-safe brush to this project or use craft sticks! Or pull out some paper and use as a fun edible finger paint.
What Can Edible Paint Be Used For?
Use your edible paint to decorate plain sugar cookies, crispy rice, marshmallow squares, and even toast! Or use on card stock for edible finger paint for little ones!
Head to the kitchen and make it a day by whipping up a batch of sugar cookies, or add pre-made dough to your grocery list if you have less time.
