GLITTER LETTERS

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 - Prepare your workspace for your project by placing newspaper or scrap paper over a large surface area.

Step 2 - Select four glitter colours from your pack. To create an ombre effect, choose two shades of each desired colour. For example, choose a light and dark pink to create an ombre. Set your colours aside in the order of how you would like these to appear on the letters, so you are ready to go.

Step 3 - Using your paint brush and white acrylic paint, paint your wood letters so there is no wood showing. Once the letters are dry to touch, add a second coat of paint and set aside until dry.

Step 4 - Before you cover the letters with glitter, plan out the width of each glitter colour band across the letters. You can draft this using a pencil and make faint marks, so you know where each glitter colour starts and ends.

Step 5 - Lay out your painted letters face side up onto the work surface. Using your spray adhesive thoroughly spray the face side of the letters.

Tip - When using spray adhesive, shake the can well and spray 15 to 20cm away from the surface at a 45-degree angle.

Step 6 - Select the first glitter colour and gently shake it in a horizontal motion across the bottom of your letters, you can cover them all simultaneously or work one by one. Make sure you only cover the area drawn for the first band of colour.

Step 7 - Select the next glitter colour and gently shake 1cm down from where the first colour ends, so that it blends in with the previous colour. Repeat this step until you have covered your letters in glitter. And set aside until dry.
