Pretty ‘n Pink Program
Proceeds benefit DecoArt’s Pretty ‘n Pink program, which supports education and early detection of breast cancer by donating portions of its Pretty ‘n Pink sales to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Pretty ‘n Pink was created by Etta Brown, a breast cancer survivor and former VP of Sales & Marketing at DecoArt. What is the connection between DIY crafts and breast cancer? Research shows that crafting benefits health by reducing stress, which can be therapeutic for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and their family members.
Pretty ‘n Pink Products
The limited edition Pretty ‘n Pink paints, which are sold in 2-oz bottles and feature commemorative pink ribbon packaging, include:
- Believe Pink, a light pink acrylic paint;
- Hope Pink, a deeper-toned acrylic gloss pink paint; and
- Celebration Pink, a light-pink glittering paint and topcoat.
The Pretty ‘n Pink stencil products include:
