  • This paint idea is going to be a keeper, I will no doubt have a few grandkids having sleepovers in the coming months & they always want to do different crafting at Grandma’s!

  • Thank you for sharing this! I have some epsom salt that’s a bit past it’s best and probably not as good for what it’s designed for. Glad that I’ve got a way to stop it going to waste!
