This Earth Month, let's embrace the power of upcycling. With Plaid, you can transform everyday items into unique pieces of art. This year, we're celebrating with upcycling crafts, transforming everyday items into unique pieces of art using our broad range of paint and art supplies.
Upcycling is the art of transforming unwanted items into something useful and beautiful. It's a creative and fun way to reduce waste and make a positive impact on our planet. We are excited to introduce three new formulas to your craft room: FolkArt Paint for Plastic, Murano Glass Paint, and Mod Podge Multi.
Breathe new life into old plastic items with
FolkArt Paint for Plastic. This paint glides smoothly, providing excellent coverage and a smooth, satin finish. It adheres to most plastics, making upcycling easy and fun. From old plastic containers to discarded toys, the possibilities are endless.
Add a touch of elegance to your glassware with
FolkArt Murano Glass Paint. This easy-to-use paint transforms ordinary glass surfaces into a stunning statement, perfect for upcycling! Achieve a captivating play of colors that shift and shimmer as light dances across the surface.
Seal and protect your upcycled crafts with
Mod Podge Multi. This all-in-one decoupage formula combines the features of 3 consumer favorites—Dishwasher Safe, Outdoor and Fabric. It's water-based, non-toxic, and made in the USA, making it a safe and reliable choice for your crafting needs.
