Does it work? Homemade Henna

I wish I could get my hands on some actual henna paste. I've always thought that this form of artwork was really neat. I've had it done once, during a festival in back circle at Transy. When I saw a recipe online, I was of course skeptical. But I also wanted to try it!

The mix:

Orange Kool Aid

Green food coloring

1 cup water

How did it work?

You're supposed to brush on your design, leave it for a minute and blot it dry. It leaves a slight color. Slight. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow. Mine turned out a little darker, but only because I kept reapplying more "henna". And it's so watery that it runs everywhere. 

I think this needs a few TBS of water instead of an entire cup. 

The kids liked it. I thought, "Meh. "
