If you have a scrap wood bin, this project is made for you. If you don’t, head over to the store and pick up a bag of scrap wood. The pieces do not need to match, or even be cut straight. The more differences your pieces have, the more charming your project will be.
Choose a word or a name that you would like to display. This project can be adapted to holidays: Noel, Love, Thanks. Or make the blocks with your family name. What a nice gift this is for anyone on any occasion.
You need:
- Big & Glitzy Glitter Glue: Peacock, Peridot, Garnet (or colors to match what you are showcasing)
- Acrylic Paint: black, turquoise, lime, hot pink (also select your colors accordingly)
- 4 pieces of scrap wood (or as many as you need to spell your word or name)
- Wide flat brush
Try this:
Basecoat wood pieces black. Let dry. Paint the edges of the blocks turquoise, lime and hot pink. Let dry.
Using Big & Glitzy, print a letter on each block, with a frame around it in a different color. Add stripes, dots, squares or whatever fits your project.
This is your chance to be creative with color and design. Make this reflect you!
Glitter on!
Sparkle
