    I had to laugh at the texture paste debacle. The fact that you actually know how texture is supposed to work makes it funny for anyone who thinks that the kit teaches “texture”. I love the way they turned out ❤️❤️❤️TY!

    I love 5 below and it's right next door to my DT. I've been getting paintbrushes and they work great. I bought the really nice sketch books for my granddaughter who just turned 13. She draws so amazing and I encourage her talent by buying things she likes and things to try. I love the frog planter and I'm glad you showed it. It's a really nice kit. I also bought the mechanical pencils and you get 48 for $5.50 that's a great deal. The paint palette is a nice find. Thanks for sharing Brandi

  • @sheliaporter6795
    @sheliaporter6795 8 місяців тому

    I love the little planters, especially that little turtle! Oh, mercy me, that texture paste is way too runny. 😅 If you want to play with texture paste, I would recommend getting one from Michael's or Hobby Lobby or another art store. I am particial to the Golden brand of texture pastes and paints. They have different types of texture paste from a light texture to a heavy body texture paste. It all depends on how much texture you want. I usually go for the medium, unless I am doing something very specific. I think everyone should give texture pastes a try. You will have fun playing with it and will get better at creating with it as you go.

    Thanks for showing us stuff from 5 below. Although I don’t have 1 where I live, I can order things online and have them shipped from 5 below. I was curious about their craft kits. As for packaging getting tougher and harder to deal with, unfortunately because of the amount of theft worldwide, they have to do something to make it more difficult for the ones who don’t want to acquire stuff by paying for it. That’s my guess anyway!

    Pain covers far better on porous surfaces, when you use a sealant. Either a spray on clear coat , or a brush on. It uses far less paint and the results are better. (not splotchy). it ups the quality of your work, even on cheap pieces --or especially, on cheap pieces.

    “And for our next craft kit, we bring you TAPE. How many ways can tape be entertaining?”
    The kits are cute, but they are limiting to what is in the box. Since kits are generally geared toward children the charisma is lacking. They’re good if you want to see if your child has a genuine interest in something, but parents need to be prepared to expand on what is provided in the kit if their child has real interest.

    LMAO..damed packaging! It is for ages 6+. Sure......can you imagine a 6 year old struggling with that? Talk about a discouraging experience.
    Way to go, turning the kiddos off to painting. Ya..NO! Pass on this kit.
