MORE ABOUT THE FIGURINES:

You need some Precious Moments figurines in order to get started, and this kit includes FIVE (5) random pieces that are ready for altering. And since practice makes perfect, we've also included a bonus broken piece for stress-free experimentation as you hone your skills and gain confidence. So you get a total of SIX (6) figurines!

MORE ABOUT THE PAINT:

This kit includes 14 colors of Americana Multi-Surface Paint in 2oz bottles. This is hands-down Chica's favorite paint because it sticks to porcelain really well and has great brushability, durability, and varnish (see the proof here). The colors are Chica's hand-picked favorites, and are the base colors from which all of her custom color mixes are made.

MORE ABOUT THE VARNISH:

You'll get 3 bottles of DuraClear varnish in the three most common sheens -- Satin, Matte, and Soft-Touch. Having this variety of brush-on sealers on hand lets you apply custom sheens to different parts of your piece.

MORE ABOUT THE CONTAINERS:

When you experiment with custom paint mixes, you should always make extra, just in case! This kit includes 12 paint pots (2 strips of 6) for storing small quantities, and 3 empty 2oz bottles for larger batches. And the spray bottle is perfect for misting your air-dry clay to keep it from drying out as you work.

MORE ABOUT THE WATERSLIDES:

If you want to add teeny-tiny writing or logos to your pieces and can't freehand them, waterslide decals are the perfect solution! You'll get two pieces, each 3-7/8" x 8-1/4". Watch our free waterslide tutorial video to learn how to use them and see our technique for conserving material by printing on partial sheets.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you specify below the type of printer you have so we can send you the right style of waterslide decals. If you have questions, email us at chicaandjo@chicaandjo.com

MORE ABOUT THE TOOLS:

Adding the finer details to your altered creations is easier when you have the right tools! We've put our favorites in this kit, including Chica's favorite extra-long script liner brush and a mini tube of all-purpose E6000 glue. The pointed cotton swabs and cosmetic wedges will help with painting, and the cuticle sticks and sanding stick will help with clay work.
