Halloween Secret Stones with Bojecher Paint Marker Pens

Image
We have been busy today today creating some spooky Halloween inspired secret stones to hide during half term. We were lucky enough to be gifted some paint marker pens by BOJECHER to try out. These are perfect for many different materials such as pebbles, wood, glass, fabric, ceramic and more.  These are perfect for so many crafts all year round, they're weather proof so will last a long time. The pen has two tips to choose from, a 3mm diagonal one and a 5mm round on, the round one being better for painting bolder lines. We have had lots of fun creating some scary designs using all 12 colours in the pack, the pack includes 10 normal colours and two metalic ones too. The colours are bright and do not fade when drying, they are quick drying and no need to bake.  I have many more plans for these from personalised mugs to scrap booking. if you want to check these out I will leave the link below. https://www.amazon.co.uk/BOJECHER-Permanent-Painting-...

Once cool, pop out the crayons and you have some cool crayons. We love the crayons that we have made, they are ...
