DIY Glitter Painting
Yay, what can be more fun than DIY GLITTER PAINTING :D I think these glitter chevron and polka dots paintings are so cute together.
Supplies
- 2 canvases
- A student compass
- A pencil
- An eraser
- White and gold acrylic painting
- A brush
- Glue
- Gold glitter
- Masking tape
- A big piece of paper or cardboard
Polka Dot Glitter Painting
- Draw on polka dots with a compass. Set your compass to a width of around 2 cm. (0,78 inch). Then just “fill” the entire space with dots next to each other, but you will only color every other dot. So that there’s an “invisible” dot between them.
- Use an eraser, to erase all lines in between the dots that you want. This is very important, since pencil marks are very difficult to cover with acrylic paint.
- Paint the space between the dots with white paint.
- Fill in the dots with gold paint. This can be quite time consuming – patience is required :)
- Get a big piece of paper or cardboard. Crease it at the bottom to collect the excess glitter and place the canvas on top.
- Fill in the dots with glue.
- Pour gold glitter over the area.
- Dust away the excess glitter and clean the lines with white paint.
Chevron Glitter Painting
- Draw on a chevron design. A canvas doesn’t always have straight edges, so first make a line at the bottom and sides of the canvas as a starting point. Then you want to fill the canvas with horizontal lines that are 5 cm. (1,96 inches) apart. Then make a dot on the lines for every 7 cm (2,75 inches). Make lines between the dots as shown on the picture below.
- Cover every other line with masking tape.
- Use an eraser, to erase all pencil marks between the lines. This is very important, since pencil marks are very difficult to cover with acrylic paint.
- Paint the lines with gold acrylic paint.
- Fill in the lines with glue.
- Pour gold glitter over the area.
- Peel off the masking tape.
- Dust away the excess glitter and fill the space between the lines with white paint.
