Mod Podge Brayer Tool Set and Tracing Template Giveaway

Happy Monday! I know you are itching to see what we are giving away this week on Paint Me Plaid. Well you’ll love what’s up for grabs this week. Check out these two new Mod Podge products. One Paint Me Plaid reader will win a Brayer Tool Set, and a pack of Tracing Templates. Both of these items are available now at your local Michaels. Each of these items make mod podging more fun and interesting. Learn more about these tools below.

Mod Podge ® Professional Tool Set

This Mod Podge ® Professional Tool Set is essential for any decoupage crafter. The Brayer is used to smooth paper, fabric and other items onto a surface, providing the right amount of pressure to eliminate air bubbles and with no mess. The Squeegee is used to press paper, fabric and other items into hard-to-reach corners.

Mod Podge ® Tracing Templates – Mod Podge Font 2″

Looking for a shape in a specific pattern? Don’t hunt high and low, make it! Our tracing templates let you make standard shapes from any decoupage paper to truly personalize your project.
