Getting Crafty at Girl Scout Camp with Plaid Paints

Every year in July I run a local Girl Scout Day Camp for about 100 girls. It's a ton of fun, and a ton of work, but it's a labor of love for sure! But when all of the planning turns out some really AWESOME creativity for the girls, it is so rewarding! This year, I was lucky enough to become a Brand Ambassador for Plaid Crafts. So they sent me some REALLY great products to play with!

The first project we created with our Plaid Crafts paints were these fantastic picture frames!

Our theme for camp was "Under the Sea" so the girls had the option to add sea shells to their art. Some did and some chose to just use the paints and they are all works of art!

Plaid donated all of the paints and brushes that the girls used, so we used their beautiful Folk Art acrylic paint colors to decorate these frames.

I love the coverage we get with Plaids paints! You only need one coat for beautiful color and coverage!

Plaid also sent some of their AMAZING Color Shift Paints. Now, if you haven't see this in person, it's seriously one of my absolute FAVORITE paints! Just like the names says, the colors shift in the light!

We also paired up the Color Shift paint with the Glitteriffic paint for a metallic, glitter finish on some of the frames.

Here's a few more examples of frames the girls made! Aren't they cool?

This frame below used Color Shift and Glitteriffic in contrasting teal and blue for this gorgeous effect!

Here's a pic of some of the girls getting crafty with their frames! They all LOVED their finished frames and can proudly display a treasured photo in their new frames!
