We use our PanPastel colors on various types of crepe paper, frosted paper, text weight paper, and so on. We’ve even used them on our felt flowers! For example, we used PanPastel colors to paint our felt protea flower. And more recently, we used them to create this beautiful ombré effect on our DIY oak branches.
To help you get the most out of your PanPastels, we created this video tutorial full of tips and techniques. When you watch the video, you’ll see how I blend and mix my PanPastel colors to enhance my paper flowers.

Leave a CommentWould you spray the fixative to your flat newly pigmented paper, or do you need to wait until you’ve complete all shaping of the flower to apply the spray? Can’t wait to try this!
I usually like to wait until the flower is complete. 🙂
I know you’ve mentioned this before, but I can’t find it. Some of my Pan Pastels have arrived broken or in crumbles. Some from Felt Paper Scissors & others from Amazon. I returned one to Amazon & my replacement came the exact same way. So, I’ve decided not to return any others anymore. With that being said, how do I restore them into cake form? Thank you.
I know our shipping team at Felt Paper Scissors is super careful with packing them so I hope you have success from our shop. Sometimes Amazon can be less delicate. lol.
Here is a article from a craft store on how to reset them. https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2022/02/14/how-to-fix-broken-panpastels/
Maybe we will do a video for you all soon! 😉
Thank you very much! I will try this.
hellooooo there. Loving learning about the different techniques and I’ve made a few flowers I’m pretty stoked with 🙂 one thing that I haven’t seen yet – only heard you talk about… Spraying with fixative for when you know you’ll be rubbing up against your flowers. How is the easiest way to spray fixative… does it affect the way the petals curl at all? How ‘wet’ do you need to get the paper…. Halp!! I’m wanting to make a wedding bouquet with dark colours, so wanting to save the smudge 🙂
Yes, we recommend using the Krylon to set your colors. You do not want to get your paper wet with the spray but lightly mist the paper. This will also ensure your pastel does not change color with the spray. Once dry, give it a test rub with your fingers and at that point you can add a second layer if need be. Happy crafting!!
ive noticed in other flowers where do you get the art markers
We love Copic brand markers that you can find on Amazon or https://www.dickblick.com/!
where do I get the pan pastel kits?
You can purchase the PanPastel kit in our shop! https://shopliagriffith.com/product/panpastel-designer-set/
