This was a project that I did a couple months back and I still get such positive feedback on this one! People come into our room and feel welcomed with all of the home-y crafts scattered everywhere. This project also was rather affordable and was not very time consuming (which is music to our ears, right?). Clearly, you can make any state you wish but, come on, we all know you want to do our beloved Nebraska (:
What you need:
Canvas (any size really)
Acrylic Paint
Mod Podge
Glitter
Brushes
Steps:
- Apply an even coat of paint on the clean canvas. Note: you may want to do a second coat to ensure that the paint is solid and evenly distributed on the canvas. Let dry.
- Second, lightly trace outline of state on the canvas to guide your Mod Podge and glitter later on.
- Grab your sponge brush and your container of Mod Podge and begin to generously apply it within the traced lines of your state. I purposely did not apply Mod Podge in one area to create the shape of a heart over my hometown. This way, when you put the glitter on, you will have a cute heart remaining.
- Mod Podge is known to dry up quickly so you will want to sprinkle on your glitter rather swiftly after you have applied the Mod Podge to the intended area. I recommend sprinkling a generous amount to the area 2-3 times, dumping what doesn't stick onto a scrap paper for reuse after each time.
- Let this beautiful creation lay flat for a while to completely settle and dry up the Mod Podge and glitter to the canvas. Then it's time to show this baby off!
Happy crafting!
