Glitter Star

In case you missed my post on the Art Glitter Blog.

Being patriotic does not just stop at the 4th of July though! Being a military wife, we celebrate year round, and there is nothing more pretty than a glittered star! Best thing is, you can change the colors and make one for any season, holiday, country, or event. I chose to use blue and silver to use for the holidays and to use as a nautical star after!

Products used:

Wooden Star (picked up at a local craft store)

Designer Dries Clear Adhesive

#84 Shiney Si Ultrafine Opaque Art Glitter

#D31 Patriot Dazzlers Art Glitter

Paint Brush

I started by using the #D31 Patriot Dazzlers and painted a section of the star with the adhesive. I then sprinkled the glitter on, shook it off, and proceeded to the next section. When I was done with the blue, I moved on to the #84 Shiney Si Ultrafine Opaque doing the same thing.

I finished it off by painting the trim with Designer Dries Clear and sprinkled #84 Shiney Si glitter around the edges to give it a clean finish.

I hope you enjoyed this simple glittered project. I had a lot of fun with this one, and loved mixing the glitter sizes.
