Have fun with POSCA pens!

We love POSCA pens! These markers use water-based pigment ink to produce poster-paint-like vibrant colours. Posca is easily removed from glass, making it ideal for temporary signs and window art. Once dry, you can easily layer over the top to build your design and correct any errors. But what else can you with POSCA pens?

What can you do with your POSCA pens?

1. Colouring

You can use POSCA pens to colour in your favourite books. The vivid colours are sure to make your pictures come to life.

 

2. DIY

POSCA is excellent for upcycling. Why not spruce up a plain old vase or add some detailing to a boring chest of drawers? Have fun applying POSCA water-based paint pens to most surfaces, including paper, card, canvas, stone, plastic, metal, textiles, wood, ceramics and glass!

3. Wall Art

Did you know you can layer and blend with POSCA pens? POSCA pens are ideal for creating beautiful art and illustrations to display at home, school or work. Show off your creativity and make your space inspiring with your unique wall art projects.

4. Cards and Notebooks

POSCA paint pens are not only essential for making holiday, birthday, thank you and other greeting cards, but they're also ideal for adding designs to and personalising notebook and journal covers.

5. Memory Boxes

Create beautiful memory boxes to store pictures, notes, favourite memorabilia and more by painting over the old boxes lying around your house!
