I have been honored this month to be a part of the March Plaid Street Team. I showed you my goodies in the mail, and now I have enjoyed using FolkArt Enamels.
The FolkArt Enamel paints, daubers and adhesive stencils can be found at Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby, and A.C. Moore.
I decorated a”Think Spring” sign and a thrifted vase using these products. It was easy and the directions are detailed.
I am excited to share the steps on how I made this. So, let’s go!!
1.Choose your FolkArt Enamel colors and reusable adhesive stencils. Use a dauber for the best distribution of paint.
2.After washing and drying your glass, place your reusable adhesive stencil on your glass. Press all sides and areas of your stencil, so your paint won’t “bleed.”
3. Using your dauber fill your stencil with paint. Being sure to fill your stencil completely.
4. While the paint is still wet, peel reusable adhesive stencil off quickly; just like you would a band-aid. Quick and smooth.
It’s that easy!!
FolkArt Enamels are the perfect paint for glass. You can also create your own designs using a brush like I did below:
I also wanted you to see this picture because when I first started, I didn’t fill my stencil enough. (As you can see in the lavender flowers) But, once I got the hang of it, I realized I needed more paint than I originally thought. (Like I did with the yellow flowers.)
I am not an artist by any means, but I had fun adding centers, stems and leaves to my flowers.
These ideas would also be a perfect Mother’s Day gift, don’t you think??
After I made a vase, I thought it would be fun to make this sign for my friend who has had a rough winter. Using the same steps and directions I made my “Think Spring” sign.
Thanks to Blueprint Social and FolkArt Enamels for the opportunity to share this project and enamels with my readers and followers!!
