instructions

Using a craft knife, cut pieces of cardboard to make pieces to assemble into a house shape. Use paper bowls for windows, snack/cereal boxes for dormers, etc. Assemble the pieces at the edges using hot glue. Allow the glue to cool. Using the craft knife, cut a door in the front of the house large enough to fit a cat. Leave one side uncut so the door is still attached.
Mix Purple Iris and Pewter Gray (1:1) and paint the roof of the house using a flat brush.
Add White to this mixture to create 2 lighter shades. Using a round brush, paint the lighter mixtures on the roof in a scalloped pattern. See project photo for reference.
Mix Too Blue, Melted Chocolate and Pewter Gray (3:1:1). Use this mixture and a small round brush to paint very loose horizontal slats on the bottoms area of the house. See project photo for reference.
Using transfer paper, transfer the provided patterns onto the house where desired.
Paint the windows with Black and yellow Flame. Paint the cat with Black. Paint the spiderwebs with White and the fish skeleton with Black and White. Let dry.
Using a flat brush, add Glitterific Hologram to the windows.

No, FolkArt Glitterific Paint cannot be cured permanently to glass or ceramic surfaces, nor are these surfaces hand-washable or dishwasher-safe. Glassware and glazed ceramics decorated with Glitterific should be used for decorative purposes only.

Can FolkArt Glitterific Paint be used with other paint products?

No, direct mixing of FolkArt Glitterific Paint with other paint products is not recommended, as it will compromise the color, the finish, and the glittery effect of the paint.

Can FolkArt Glitterific Paints be mixed to achieve a new color or different value of the same color?

Yes, FolkArt Glitterific Paints can be intermixed with one another to create a new and different glitter mixture. Mixing small quantities at a time, simply pour small amounts of each color to be mixed onto a palette. Using a palette knife, mix one color into the other until the desired color ratio of glitter particles has been achieved.
