Plaid Sugar Metallic Paints DIY w/ Video Tutorial

I’m part of Plaid’s Ambassador Program and I was selected to try their new Sugar Metallic paints!

What on earth are Sugar Metallic Paints?

I asked that same question…until they arrived on my front doorstep!

*Plaid sent me the paints, but the ideas and opinions are all my own.

They have a fine sugar texture but are metallic and have vibrant colors!

How exciting is that?!?!

I couldn’t wait to give them a try! I had the wood vase from my welcome package and had been planning on painting it to hold my paintbrushes.

So that’s what I did!

The project was so easy and the paints made it look extra special!

Brush Holder Directions

Step 1: Select your colors

The paints come in so many beautiful colors but I decided to go bold with the Magnet Purple and the Teal.

Step 2: Paint inside and out

I did the outside with the purple and the inside with the teal. Both are beautiful colors!

What I especially love about the sugar metallic paints is when they dried, the colors were bold, they had a fine sugary texture and you could still see the wood grain through them!

Beautiful!

Step 3: A little embellishment

I have lots of embellishments in my craft stash. Whenever possible, I like to pick up odds and ends in the clearance department.

When I went to see what I had, I found this bright pink flower that was the perfect contrast to the bold, jewel colors of the sugar metallic paints.

So, I hot-glued it right on!

Now, it is the perfect container to hold all my paintbrushes!

My Thoughts

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know what to think about the sugar metallic paints, or how they would work out. I was worried the texture would overwhelm the paint or it might go on clumpy.

That was not the case!

Questions:

My questions for you are:

Have you tried the Sugar Metallic Paints?

Do you want to try the paints?

Recently, I was at the craft store and didn’t really realize how many new paints Plaid has released. I found Extreme Glitter Paints and used them on a Fourth of July Centerpiece.
