My Supplies
β¨ I get asked all the time what supplies I use and recommend β so I put everything in one place for you! π
ποΈ My Go-To Everyday Markers
These are what I reach for most. Great color payoff and easy to control on smaller details.
ποΈ Sharpie Permanent Markers (Classic + Reliable)
You really can't go wrong with these. They're consistent, easy to find, and perfect for clean lines and bold color.
π€ Best for a White Base Layer
If you like your colors to really pop, starting with a white base makes a huge difference β these cover wood really well.
β¨ My Favorite Metallics
These add the prettiest finishing touch. Perfect for accents, details, and making your project stand out.
π‘ A Couple Quick Tips
- A white base layer = brighter, more vibrant colors
- Let layers dry before going over them again
- Use lighter pressure for cleaner edges on smaller pieces
These are just what I personally use, and they've worked really well for my projects π
Supply Recommendations (What I Personally Use!)
I get asked all the time what supplies I recommend for finishing your barn quilt kits, so here are my go-to favorites:
π¨ Paint
I love using DecoArt Patio Paint (Outdoor) β it's durable, easy to work with, and holds up beautifully over time. Plus, the color options are great for bringing your design to life!
π§΄ Glue
Titebond Premium Wood Glue II (blue label) is my go-to. It gives a strong, reliable hold and works perfectly for assembling your pieces.
π‘οΈ Sealant
Finish it off with a water-based spar urethane. This helps protect your barn quilt from the elements while keeping the colors looking fresh.
These are the exact supplies I use myselfβthey're simple, reliable, and get the job done right π
