This angel was cut from an .093 in. acrylic sheet. These sheets are sold at most big box hardware stores such as Home Depot. I like the Optix brand the best.
The sheets are transparent when purchased. The piece was painted white on the back. The front is left clear and the paint shows through. This give the piece a gloss effect that you can't see in this picture.
I like to use a skip tooth blade for cutting acrylic. You don't want to use a reverse tooth blade for this acrylic. The reverse teeth tend to grab the thin plastic making it easy to break a piece while cutting.
You want to purchase the correct spray paint for plastic. I use the Rust-oleum Painters Touch 2X. It sticks to acrylic well. I do use a fine sand paper you rough up the side that will get the paint. It gives the paint some tooth to stick to.
The pattern book has complete instruction with pictures for cutting and painting acrylic.
There are many patterns in my catalog that you could use acrylic with.
