Art Activity – Spackle Art

You will need:

Spackle (or mulitpurpose filler)

Scrapers (including textured scrapers)

Canvas

Paint and paint pallets (optional)

 

My tips for Spackle Art:

1. Make sure you spackle is on 1mm or 2mm thick otherwise it might crack

2. Make sure your spackle is an even thickness on your canvas (it’s easy for it to be too thick in the center)

3. You will have about 15mins to work with your spackle before it starts to thicken

4. If you design has worked as you planned you can re spread the spackle and start again

5. When colouring the spackle you only need a small amount of paint

6. Spackle can be painted when it’s completely dry

7. It will take several hours for you spackle to dry (this will be longer is your spackle is thick or if it is cold)
