Surface Texture

Puff paint is a non-toxic medium which expands when heated to make a 3-D effect. The design can be painted or printed onto a variety of surfaces. Heat causes the paint to expand. This gives a unique surface that can then be further decorated with paint or stitch etc. Experiment on a test piece to learn how Puff Paint reacts before using on your main work. Puff Paint will expand sideways as well as outwards.
The best source of heat is a craft heat gun, which should be used in a waving motion. It will allow you to see the expansion and control the amount of 'puff'. Keep heat gun about 15cm from the surface. Alternatively Puff Paint can be expanded by use of a steam iron (allow to dry first and apply heat to reverse, or use a press cloth), or by placing in an electric oven at 150oC for three to four minutes.
