Introducing Extreme Glitter

Today, “all that glitters” isn’t only gold—it’s rose or red, green or even black! Plaid is pleased to announce the debut of FolkArt Extreme Glitter, a new paint that allows consumers to paint on the fine look of sugar glitter that is so popular. Who doesn’t like the shiny stuff?


Glitter is currently a huge trend in the craft marketplace this year – from wood to canvas to found objects, there is no limit to what surfaces you can make sparkle and shine. Extreme Glitter allows consumers to get the “glitz” look for their projects without all the mess. The color palette features 11 colors including all- time favorites as well as today’s trend-right shades.

So how does an artist or crafter approach using this new paint product? You may have images of disco balls in your head, but glitter can be subtle too! Here are a few suggestions:

Go wild: If you want to go wild with Extreme Glitter, then the secret is bold colors and large areas! Try gold, red, orange, emerald, purple or black for sparkle and shine that is sure to be eye catching. A few options are daring candlestick centerpieces, large frames, glasses vases or holiday ornaments. If you want your project to be noticed, then the more glitter, the better! Use a complimentary FolkArt Acrylic color underneath the Extreme Glitter to really make the shimmer pop.

Go subtle: Extreme Glitter doesn’t have to cover your entire project. It’s also great as an accent in one or a few colors. Paint a few random areas; an easy way to do this is to use Extreme Glitter to accent polka dots or stripes. Peridot, rose, silver, turquoise and hologram are suggested colors for the subtle approach. Get the glitter effect without going overboard!
