If you haven’t noticed yet, not only am I a fairly big fan of DIY,
I totally dig making your own art for your casa.
Not only is it a ton cheaper and something you can say ‘whoop there it is’,
it’s a total one of a kind.
bam.
So when the girlies from The Country Chic Cottage and 30 Minute Crafts, asked us to come up with a 15 minute craft,
I knew I could whip this baby out.
All while the hubs made breakfast.
I mean….
Materials Used:
10×20 canvas
Martha Stewart Golden Pearl Paint
Martha Stewart Gold Glitter
White Tube of Acrylic Paint
Brush and Styrofoam Bowl (hey, I’m unprepared cheap)
I started out messing with colors, not sure how the metallic would take on the acrylic, but it worked like a hoss.
Dumped straight metallic into a bowl and mixed a TON of glitter into it.
like basically the entire container of glitter.
all.of.it.
I ended up laying out a measuring tape for a little bit of guidance and took off.
Started with solid metallic, painted two outside stripes, then added white and more white to the same bowl as I went.
Took a little brake to let it dry, and watched this little play…
Came home to a dry piece,
And put it up.
Note to self: Must hide all cords.
#sorrynotsorry that I didn’t picture the entire hallway piece, not quite ready to reveal that.
patience grasshopper….
