Default What products can you use on acrylic shapes?

:confused: Hello,

I have a few acrylic shapes that I would like to decorate. They are the thick ones that won't work with EF's. Has anyone tried paint on them or any of the markers? What works and what won't rub off?

Thank you for your help!

Staz-on Ink
Acrylic Paint
Permanent/Alcohol Markers

Those are 3 things I believe work on non-porous surfaces, such as acrylic.

In some cases, you might have to do a test to see how well they "take" to the surface; and in some/possibly all cases, no matter what you use, friction or aggressive rubbing might remove it.

You could also Xyron or Modge Podge patterned papers to the surface so they show thru to the other side.

Have fun.

In addition to the products mentioned by Julie, you can use:

alcohol inks
glitter mixed with Diamond Glaze/Crystal Lacquer
Stickles (maybe)
