Supplies You Need For This Project

✨ Most people grab these four items

Acrylic Paint

Acrylic paint is a versatile craft paint that works on many surfaces like canvas, wood, paper, and clay. It has strong color, dries fairly quickly, and is easy to layer.

Gesso

Gesso is primarily used as a primer before painting with acrylics. It helps paint adhere better to surfaces and can also help cover imperfections, creating a smoother and more even base for your project.

Cutter

Cutter is useful for making precise cuts on materials like cardboard, foam, plastic, and paper. It helps create cleaner edges and more detailed craft work.

Googly Eyes

These googly eyes come with a self-adhesive backing, making them quick and easy to attach without glue. They’re a fun way to add character and facial details to craft projects, decorations, and DIY creations.
