Glitter butterfly wall art

We are expecting a baby girl VERY soon!  So I need to get a move on with decorating her room!

For my next glitter project I am going to show you how to make A SUPER cute and easy piece of art! I have always love butterflies and that is the theme of the nursery.

Here is what you will need:

Blank Canvas

Paint

Vinyl Stickers

Art Glitter (#95 Summer Sea and #230 Halo)

Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive

Here is how I made it:

1. I painted the canvas the back ground color(s) that I wanted. 

I wanted it to look the morning sky turning from purple to blue.  I started out with Dark purple at the bottom and added white to fade up to reach a little below the middle.  Then, at the top I started with the teal blue and added white to fade down.  I kept the paint thick so that I could blend the colors on the canvas.  Once I got to the middle I painted up with the purple and down with the blue and over lapped to blend.  Again, I kept the paint thick to help blend the colors. 

You could keep it really simple and just do one color too! :)

Let your paint dry

 Place your vinyl stickers on your canvas when you paint is fully dry.  You can move them around a bit to get the right placement.

 Now to add the glitter.  I worked in small to add the glitter.

I added the glue, then sprinkled with glitter and tapped off the excess.

I used two colors of glitter on my mine you can use as much glitter as you want!

(I used Art Glitter  #95 Summer Sea and #230 Halo)

 Allow time for the glue to dry and shake off the excess glitter, even though you tapped off most of it the still will be a little more to tap off.

Hang it up and enjoy!

Super easy and super cute
