I absolutely love puffy paint! The puffy effect it gives once added to fabric or any hard surface really appeals to me.
After the holidays, I purchased a pack of tea towels at Target on clearance for $1.99. They were great as they were, but I decided to add to them with some puffy paint. Which can be purchased at craft stores for about a buck!
I looked around my house for some inspiration and found it in a pillow.
I love this pattern and it was pretty simple to duplicate.
Using simple round objects and a ruler, I traced my pattern in pencil.
Then I dotted over the lines with the puffy paint.
I waited 3 days for the paint to dry completely. Then I washed it, to remove the pencil marks.
I ironed the tea towel on a cool setting on the opposite side of my pattern, after letting it air dry.
I love the way it turned out! The pattern makes me happy!
There's so much you can do with puffy paint. It's not just for decorating t-shirts!
You can view what else I did with puffy paint here and here, if you like!

hi Brandi and thanks for stopping by my blog today! This puffy paint project is very creative!! I never knew puffy paint could be so cool. Your pattern looks so nice and the tea towels are now uniquely yours. ~patti :)
ReplyDeletep.s. Love your homemade gift wrap and bow ideas too!! I'm your newest follower. :)
ReplyDelete...it's me again. ;) Just saw your pillow w/felt clusters. Before Christmas, I saw a felt tree pillow @Crate & Barrel and made my own knock-off. The technique is the same. Just had to share. :)
ReplyDeletePuffy Paint. "shut the front door"...
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see an idea on here I go to michaels (or Lowes in some cases) and purchase the supplies needed, only to later store them away in hopes that my creative juices will flow like yours one day... lol
I have never even heard of puffy paint!!! What would I do without you? I am clueless!!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'm now a puffy paint convert.
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much for taking the time to share at our Pin'Inspiration party this week. I really hope that you can take part in my "Beat the Winter Blues" party on Saturday. :-)
