How2 Make a Glitter Painting

You paint a picture with glue instead of paint and add some glitter for that extra sparkle.

To make this 'ballroom' glitter painting, you will need:

  • Coloured Poster Paper
  • PVA glue (or mix fevicol with little water to make a fluid in a squeeze bottle)
  • Glitter (gold, silver, red and blue colours)
  • Cotton buds

 
1. Draw a picture on the paper in pencil. Spread some glue over drawing outline with the squeeze bottle (or an icing nozzle).
Step 1
2. Use a piece of cardboard to spread the glue over the bigger areas. You can use a cotton bud for the smaller fiddly areas. Or better still, use a fine tipped paint brush.
3. While the glue is till wet, sprinkle the coloured glitter over the glued areas as shown in the picture. Red for the dress, blue for the suit, gold for the body, silver for the halo ring. Don't worry about being too neat, just make sure you cover all the glue with glitter.

 
4. Allow to dry well. Simply tip the picture up and shake off till all excess glitter has come off. Make sure you've covered the area with newspaper first to collect the spills.
