All about puffy paint

Puffy paint is a type of paint that adds dimension to whatever it is painted on. It has both a textured and raised appearance similar to cake icing.

It can be used to add this raised and coloured appearance to anything that can be painted and then heated with an iron, hair dryer or microwave.
Examples of uses include designs on:

• T-shirts and other clothing
• cards
• paper  
• wooden frames
• natural materials such as eggshells and stones
• glass and plastic if you are careful with the heating process

Puffy paint is available in both manufactured and homemade versions. It can be applied by brush, squeezing from a bottle, with fingers or other tools.
It is very versatile and can be mixed with other products such as glitter.
