  1. Mix the flour, salt, and water (enough to form a paste) together until you have a thick paste.

  4. Muffin tin with puffy paint and brushes.
     
  5. You can use paint brushes or cotton swabs to paint onto the cardboard. Make sure you brush the paint on thick so that it will puff up when you're done.

Cool! If you only have all-purpose flour, could you add baking soda? If so, how much? Thanks. :)

Have not tried making it with all-purpose flour and baking soda. But I am sure it would work because that's what is in the self-rising flour.

Might have to experiment with the measurements though.
