You could try this:

You could also add corn syrup to it, depending on what the craft is. Corn syrup will make the paint shiny and a little thicker.

It sounds like the corn starch will make it thicker than corn syrup would.? The corn syrup does make it a little thicker, but it's more of a slimy thickness than a dry thickness, if that makes sense.

If you don't have cornstarch I would try flour.
