Hi Tessa,

I usually pick the paintbrushes up at Wal-Mart or at a local craft store. You can find them in pack or buy them individually. I prefer to give them decent brushes so they feel like they are little cookie artists.

Here is the kind I like and you can find them at your craft stores: http://amzn.to/2mq8ofB but please look around and find something YOU like!

Bear hugs,
Lisa

Hi! These are so cool!!! I am going to be making paint your own cookies soon and I was wondering what type of paintbrushes you used to give to the kids? Thanks

Hi Malka,

Your gonna love watching the kids paint the cookies. They’ll have so much fun!

Yes the black does smear into the painted colors if they use a lot of water. I give my grandson a paper towel so he take off some of the water before he paints the cookie.

I honestly thing the airbrush black would be very messy. You can try it but I personally wouldn’t do it because the airbrush colors look wonderful but won’t hold up against water.

To be 100% honest the cookies don’t last that long around here. As soon as everyone is done painting them, the eat them! 😉

Has anyone else out there tried PYO Cookie Stencils with with airbrush color instead of royal icing?

If you still have questions, you can contact Hillary at The Cookie Countess and ask her. She’s amazing! http://www.thecookiecountess.com/pages/about-us

I’m going to try my hand at some PYO cookies this week. Thanks for the tutorial 🙂 2 questions: does the black icing from the outline shmear when the kiddies paint the cookie? Also, would it work to airbrush the stencil on in black? Or would that shmear when water gets on it? Just trying to work out the details. Thanks for your help!

Hy Mayra,

Just place some food gel color on a cookie so everyone can use it as the “paint.’ If they dip the paintbrush into a small amount of water, then brush it across the “paint” it will brush on the cookies just like paint. A thin layer of paint but that’s all there is to it! 😉

HI thank you great idea! But how is the “Paint” used once dry? Id love to do this with the family soon, make ahead of time and by the time i see them, the paint will be dry, so do they add water to the “paint”?

Great idea to keep the little kiddos occupied so the parents can chat and relax this Thanksgiving. Thanks!
