Tips to get started painting your first custom toy!

Class Overview:

You will learn the basics of how to paint a vinyl toy. Everything from where to purchase a blank toy, what brushes/paints to use, how to find inspiration, and tips and tricks.
This class is geared towards beginners but could also provide useful tips for an advanced painter who wants to learn more about customizing vinyl toys.

Your assignment is to paint your very own custom toy. Remember, practice makes perfect so don’t be discouraged if your first custom toy doesn’t look the way you imagined. Every time I paint a toy I learn something new (even after painting over 100 toys) and apply that new knowledge the next time I paint. Don’t forget to upload your project so I can see your first custom toy! :-)

Be creative and most of all, have fun doing it!
