This is a canvas art made with a canvas, wooden letters, glitter and glow in the dark paint that I made for a friends young daughter. The stars that you can see are actually glow in the dark. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Yet another project idea that I got from Pinterest :).
This photo is before I painted the stars on.
This is how it looks all finished, but still drying. Wanted to take a quick snap though so hung it up in the first place I could take, and took the photo. It's back and drying now :P.
I hand painted the canvas with a brush, hand painted the butterflies with a much smaller brush, spray painted the letters (after undercoating them with a brush) in a chrome colour, and used silver glitter glue to add an accent to the letters. I only bought a small amount of glitter glue, and was lucky to be able to cover the little letters, so that's why there isn't any on the big letters, little disappointed about that. There is also some glitter accent on the butterflies.
The pink dots all over the canvas is more glitter again (it's for a young girl, and all girls, no matter what age, like shiny things, so figured I couldn't use too much glitter).
I stuck the letters onto the canvas using Aquadhere, and stuck the glitter on the canvas using spray adhesive.
Finally the glow in the dark stars were done using a stencil that I made up, and glow in the dark spray paint.
