If you are in a sorority, then chances are you've had an encounter with puffy paint. Every sorority has the girl who can create detailed art with only puffy paint, while anyone else using puffy paint creates a big blob of mess. Well here are a few tips for the beginner that can hopefully help you become your chapter's puffy paint guru.
1. Practice
You'd be seriously surprised how many beginners just go right for it. Relieve yourself of the stress and hair pulling and just practice puffy painting before you begin your project.
2. Keep the Pressure Even
To create even lines, keep the pressure even when squeezing the bottle. Another helpful tip, is to shake the bottle often to keep all the paint near the tip.
3. First Use Pencil
For beginners, it would be a lot easier to make your designs with pencil first and puffy paint over the line. Once you've had enough practice, you can start free handing.
4. Puffy Paint is easily removable
You can scrape it off or wash it off. If you make a mistake, it is easily removable so don't freak out!
5. DO NOT TOUCH
For the love of God, don't touch the puffy paint!! Give it at least a day or maybe two. Puffy paint takes a long time to dry and after all that hard work, you don't want to mess up your project!
Hopefully these tips have helped! Just remember to practice! and that Puffy paint goes on practically everything: glass, wood, felt, fabric, plastic etc... So craft on fellow puffy painters!
