Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to me gushing about one of my favourite crafting mediums for 10 minutes straight. What are we here to discuss? Why, acrylic pour painting of course.

If you’ve never heard of or tried acrylic pouring paint . . . Let me change your life. This is one of those crafting materials that requires no skill to absolutely master.

You heard me. No painting skills required.

This is because the method behind acrylic pouring paint is – exactly – this: pour your colours into a container, pour your container upside down . . . and that’s it! I know, insanity.

(You can see the method at work in one of my Pins below. And then you can follow me on Pinterest. Thanks, babe.)

Needless to say, I love making cool projects with pouring paint. In fact, you guys have seen more than a few right here on this blog. (Most of them in my 10 DIY gifts for him compilation post! You should check it out.)

So, to convince you lovely people to join the dark side with me, I decided to round up 5 of the coolest acrylic pouring paint DIY projects in one place. Let’s do it!
