Glitter Wall Art Using Mod Podge Ultra
If you love glitter, then you've got to use the best glue for glitter - Mod Podge Ultra! Make this fun glitter wall art craft in just a few steps.
What You Will Need
- Unfinished wood canvas
- White craft paint
- Glitter in two colors
- Mod Podge Ultra
- Wax paper
- Scrap paper
- Paint bottles for weights
- Stencil
- Paintbrush
Instructions
- Paint your unfinished wood canvas with the white craft paint. Allow to dry completely. This may require two coats.
- Put the painted panel on a piece of wax paper. Lay the stencil in place on the wood. Place scrap paper around the outside as shown below. You will want all areas of the sign to be covered as you may get overspray from the Mod Podge Ultra bottle.
- You will want to weigh down the stencil to get as little of the spray under the stencil as possible. I just used some additional paint bottles.
- Now it is time to give the Mod Podge Ultra a try! Here are a few tips on how to use this glue for glitter:- There is a matte version as well as a gloss version so pick the one that suits your project best.- Shake the bottle well for approximately 10-15 seconds.- Prime by spraying on the wax paper away from the project until you get a clean spray.- Spray over the top of the stencil with a fine layer.- You will also want to clean the pump once you are done with your project. Do this by removing the pump from the bottle and running water through it.
- Once you have sprayed the area, remove the stencil and sprinkle liberally with glitter.
- Shake off any excess onto a piece of paper. You can then use the paper to put the excess back in the bottle.
- Use a dry paintbrush to brush off any excess that is sticking on around the sign. This is usually from static electricity.
- Now comes the fun part! Spray over the top of your entire project with a layer of the Mod Podge Ultra. That really makes this the best glue for glitter! It locks it in and it is not going anywhere!
- I allowed that to dry completely then I added a bit of "grass" with some green glitter using basically the same method as above. I did leave a few of those flakes in this instance for some interest.
