Product Review: Hand Made Modern Paint Markers for Wood Crafts

I saw this whole line of products when browsing in Target and the paint markers, specifically, caught my eye. I was making a door sign for my family (which I'll post separately) and wanted to see if they would work well on wood, since it wasn't one of the materials listed.
Here I was trying to make a pattern on the wood itself and I noticed right away that it bled a bit. For that reason, it only looked slightly better than a Sharpie on wood. I was able to fix it up and the finished product was cute - but I don't think that I'll use them for wood in the future. Tomorrow I'm going to test it out with ceramic and I'll report back.
Also, I'm curious if anyone has used a similar product successfully on wood!
These bled on wood as you discovered. Paint will work better.
Not in a pen form.
There are several different brand of paint pens out there but I've never tried them. Usually I used a very small paintbrush with acrylic paint or my trusty fine point Sharpies. They come in so many different colors now, it's great!!
Geeeeeeeeez, I was at Target yesterday! I knew I wanted to look for something besides a cat litter box....🙀
But your sign came out so great so that's all that matters in the long run!!
Yep, no excuse needed.... Yuk,yuk . I'm a former New Yorker! I'm in New Mexico and 72 degrees today.
Tomorrow same temps for a bit. No white Christmas here just dirt!
Hahaha - there are benefits to that! :)
Maybe if you sprayed the wood first with a good craft sealer. This would seal the wood grain without changing the raw look of the wood. If you wanted to varnish after you could still do that.
I use Painters brand paint pens from Walmart on wood all the time. They are oil based and don't seem to bleed.
Deco-color paint markers are my go to.They are oil based. I use them all the time and they never bled.
Ooh I've never seen those! Are they oil or water base paint?
Maybe seal the wood first next time? My Mother (the crafter) used to put clear nail polish on wood first but now we have all these creat acrylic coating and sealing products I think I'd try- on scrap wood first)
Anyone know how to get these out of clothes..?
