Have you heard of Plaid Crafts. They sell craft acrylic paint including FolkArt, Apple Barrel and a new Martha Stewart line. They also sell stencils, brushes and just about everything you need to make a beautiful painted project. I know I own a LOT of Plaid products!!! Plus, how could I ever get along without Mod Podge by Plaid?Today we are featuring a tutorial to make a beautifully vibrant jewelry box.
Here is a great last minute summer project you can create. Please feel free to switch up the FolkArt colors used, with other hues from us.
