Transform your painted surface into a work of art with IOD Paint Inlays! These proprietary paints allow you to embed beautiful designs onto the surface of your project for an authentic hand-painted look. Follow the layout guide on the back of the package, apply section by section, and achieve a naturally distressed texture or minimize it with a light mist of water and smoothing with a brayer. Be generous but not excessive with paint, and be mindful of the dry time. Then, remove the carrier sheet with water, revealing the stunning design below.
With each consecutive use, the design becomes fainter, giving you multiple uses out of each sheet. Paint Inlays are an artisanal product, and like any new creative endeavor, it may take you some practice to get the hang of if you are new to them…but once you do, there’s no going back!
