3D Paint. 3 Fun Craft Uses.

 As I was going through my craft supplies, I came across some Scribbles, 3D paint.  I don't remember exactly why I bought this. I think it was to add dimension to my scrapbook pages. And, it probably did. But now, it has just been sitting around. In fact, I found this brand new bottle. I figured it was dried out. But, oh no. They were as good as new!

After seeing some ideas on Facebook, I decided to come up with some ideas of my own. Here's what I did.

Dimensional Shapes

I was on Ali Edwards' December Daily Facebook Group and saw that someone had created puffy paint stars. I thought, what a great idea. I have 3D paint, so I'll use what I have. Here are my stars. Just know that there are quite a few attempts in my garbage can. LOL

There's a lot you can do with these stars. Put them on your journal cards. Use them on planner or  journal pages. Staple them on. Glue them on. See what happens.

To the right is example of my attempt. Looks like a starry night to me. I included some gem shapes and a star shape. I plan to add it to a journal page.

Gem Shapes

Next up, I decided to try my hand at making gems with the 3D paint. You can buy flat back self adhesive pearls and other gems that you can use on your projects. Why not make my own. I pulled out a few different colors of paint and practiced my down-up technique. I want to keep trying these. I think they will be great for the center of flowers, or in my planner, or even my journal.

Words and Letters

Finally, I tried to write words and letters. The letters turned out so-so. You can see the "CSB" in the picture. The word totally didn't make it. I might need to let these sit longer. But, it was definitely fun to try. 

Have some puffy paint? Why not bring it out and try some shapes or flat gems for your projects? Let me know how they turn out.
