Product information on Viva Decor hobby paint and paste

What is Blob paint (paint)?

Blob paint is a paint that allows you to create 3D dots. Placing several dots on top of each other creates even more depth. Blob paint images often have a colourful and playful character. 3D Blob paint has a high colour intensity and is water-based.

Before you start: shake well before use! Hold the tip of the bottle vertically over a flat lying surface and press the paint out of the bottle until the desired blob size (dot size) is reached. Let the dots dry for 24 hours before applying another layer. 

Watch the Blob painting video below to get a good impression of the Blob painting technique.

Viva Decor Blobpaint set

Viva Decor Blobpaint is available both in set and separately. The Blobpaint bottles come in 2 sizes: 90 ml and 180 ml.

POURING ALL IN ONE

What concrete do you use for crafting?

For crafting with concrete, use creative hobby concrete. KippersHobby has both casting concrete powder (Beton für Kreative from Viva Decor) and kneading concrete powder (Beton zum Kneten from Viva Decor) in its range.

The properties of creative in-situ concrete are:
Grey cement powder for easy pouring of decorative objects yourself. The fine-grained, quick-drying and low-dust casting concrete powder only needs to be mixed with water. Thanks to the special plastic finish and fibre reinforcement, the concrete is excellent for processing into all conceivable shapes, especially thin-walled objects.
- Weather- and frost-resistant
- Suitable for plastic moulds, papier-mâché moulds, silicone moulds and wooden moulds

The properties of ductile concrete are:
Beton zum Kneten from Viva Decor is a powder, which diluted with water becomes a firm but easily mouldable clay. 
Not to be confused with the Cast Concrete, which diluted with water becomes a casting compound. The Beton zum Kneten dries and hardens in the air.

How to make your own clay pendant.

Watch the video above or the step-by-step plan below to make your own clay pendant. 

Supplies for making a clay pendant:

  • Creative hobby casting concrete (Beton für Kreative by Viva Decor)
  • Self-drying clay (Do & Dry from Creall)
  • Skewers
  • Round die cuts or other round objects
  • Hobby knife
  • Clay roller
  • Clear stamps (Viva Decor)
  • Stamping ink (Versamagic or Memento by Tsukineko)
  • Stamp paint (3D Stempelfarbe by Viva Decor) or acrylic paint (Acrylfarbe by Viva Decor)
  • Metallic paint or Metallic wax (Inka Gold from Viva Decor)

How do you make a pendant out of clay?

  • Knead the Do & Dry clay and roll it out with a clay roller.
  • Cut circles with a knife (e.g. use a round die-cutting template to follow the contours).
  • Make a hole in the circle with a skewer (for use as a pendant).
  • Technique 1 (embossed): Stamp the clay without curing, using Versamagic or Memento Tsukineko ink.
  • Technique 2 (dry clay): Stamp the hardened clay with 3D Stampelfarbe, acrylic paint from Viva Decor, Memento ink or Versamagic ink from Tsukineko.
  • Technique 3 (embossed): Stamp the clay without curing, let it dry completely and then rub it with Viva Decor's Inka Gold.

Tip:
For stamping with acrylic paint, use a piece of felt as a stamp pad. 
Apply a blob of paint to a plate, place a piece of felt (1mm) on this, stamp over this with a stamp just long enough for the paint to come through. When your stamp is loaded, you can stamp on all kinds of materials such as clay, paper, wood, etc.
