METALLIC COLOR BLOCK COASTERS WITH FOLKART COLOR SHIFT

February 8, 2017 by madincrafts 3 Comments

METALLIC COLOR BLOCK COASTERS WITH FOLKART COLOR SHIFT

In one of my Creativation videos, I highlighted the new Color Shift paint line from FolkArt.  I was so taken with the bold paint colors that change hues in different lights, and I was super geeked that Plaid gave us a few samples to try out.  I used these five colors of Color Shift to make some fun color blocked metallic coasters that are perfect for Spring!

I found that there was a little bit of a learning curve with using these paints, so I wanted to share some tricks that worked for me:

  • Use a paintbrush that is larger and softer than a standard craft paintbrush.  Foam brushes might also work, although I didn’t test this theory out.
  • Wait the full two hours before adding a second coat of paint, even if the paint seems dry to the touch.
  • Build in enough time to apply multiple coats because you may need more than one depending on the surface upon which you are painting.
  • If you make a mistake, don’t try to touch it up while the paint is drying.  Wait the two hours and then come back for touch-ups.

The finish of this paint is even prettier in person than it is in these photos, so the extra effort pays off with a gorgeous finished craft project.  To see all about my first experience with these paints, watch this short video.  If you aren’t already a subscriber, hop over and subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of the videos I publish twice a week.

 

As of the time I am writing this post, Color Shift paints are available in stores, but not yet online.  I will update this supply list as soon as I find an online retailer that carries these paints.
