Hi friends!
Well, it is winter break for me and like a lot of you, I find myself with maybe a little too much free time on my hands! Out of my boredom, I decided to start up some crafty, hands on activity. I always have a stash of canvases in my closet and figured I would find something to do with one of them, thus we have my example of a modernized mosaic painting! This project was SUPER easy, cheap, and it only took me about 30 minutes tops. Besides, it makes for some fantastic wall decoration!
What you need:
Canvas (any size)
Painter's tape
Acrylic Paint
Brushes
Glitter (optional)
Mod Podge (for glitter)
Step One:
Gather all of your materials together on a clean, covered surface to work on.
Step Two:
Take the blue painter's tape and tape off random geometric sections.
Make sure not to let the tape bubble up. You want the tape to lay flat to the canvas to prevent seepage from the paints.
Step Three:
Begin painting your sections and remember to have fun with it!!!
Also, if you wish to add glitter to your piece (because we always do!), be sure to apply the Mod Podge and then glitter to the desired sections FIRST. Applying the glitter sections first will prevent glitter from sticking to the fresh paint (this will look sloppy, otherwise).
Step Four:
Once all of your paint has fully dried, you then will CAREFULLY remove the blue painter's tape.
Ta-da! Behold, your beautiful masterpiece is complete and ready to display wherever you desire!
I hope you all decide to try this one out and find it as fun as I did in all of my boredom (:
Happy Crafting!
