I fell in love with the roll on applicator tops. This is the most genius thing I have seen in a long time. They seriously make stenciling a breeze!! I plan to use them as I stencil a couple of my kitchen walls this week!! 

Plaid’s site Paint Me Plaid is celebrating this new paint line ALL September long with a  Month of Martha Celebration — featuring FAB weekly giveaways!!

You can buy Martha’s new decorative paint line at Michaels Craft Store nationwide! Here’s a link to a 40% off coupon that’s good until Saturday.

The post 40 Martha Stewart Paint Projects and info on how to win some supplies for YOU! appeared first on Tatertots and Jello.

I love this idea — there are special applicator tops that convert paint bottles into tools!! So you can add your paint to the bottle and then screw on an applicator top and you are ready to stencil without having to keep dipping your roller in a paint tray. Not only is it convenient but it also saves on materials and clean up!!

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. I am not going to be boxed into a project just based on the limited spray paint colors that are available at the hardware store. Now I have 160 colors of spray painting options for projects. This is genius!!

Plus, there are really cool mediums like Chalkboard, Gilding, Glow-in-the-Dark, Etching, Metal Primer and they work on all crafting surfaces including wood, metal, glass, ceramic, Terra-cotta and fabric.  PLUS,  it’s indoor/outdoor safe and  is dishwasher-safe when used on glass. And it’s non-toxic, so it’s safe to use around your kiddos. Amazing!! 

 

• Measure your pillow form and add 2 inch to the width and length of your pre-washed fabric.

 

• Add Paint and Fabric Medium to Roller Container.

• I found the trick was to roll the paint on and then use the smaller sponge to smooth the paint over the fabric. This smoothed the paint and made the surface even. 

• Then, once the painted dried, I ironed the pillow fronts to “set” the paint. This makes the paint washable.

•  The last thing I did was I sewed the pillows together. And guess what?? I made my first zippered pillows. So fun!! A tutorial on that coming up soon!! 

 

I also made two other pillows using Martha Stewart supplies. The first was I made over this star pillow. I used the Spray Paint Kit. It was incredible. It works just like regular spray paint!! It is a little pricey — so save your 40% off coupons **I have a link to a coupon at the bottom of this post.

Then I used one of the special brushes to make lines on the pillow. I love that it looks hand done!

 

And the last pillow I made I added rows of ruffle fabric and stenciled the word “Family” with another of the Martha Stewart Stencils.

I had such a ball experimenting with this new Martha Stewart craft line, brought to you exclusively by Plaid Crafts. The product is available at Michaels stores in the US and Canada starting the last week of August. You will love all of the possibilities this new line will bring to your creative projects!!
