Using glitter and glue, this painting comes out really well... and its easy to do.

Add to Favorites Add Your Version


  1. Step 1

    Sketch the outline of your design on the black cloth, preferably felt, but anything will do.

  2. Step 2

    Mix 2 parts white glue with 1/2 part water to bring the thick glue to a cream consistency.


  3. Step 3

    With the help of paint brush, apply the glue on parts of the design where u want to sprinkle glitter powder. Do it one color at a time. For example, if u r doing blue, first apply glue to only those areas which are to be blue.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4

    Sprinkle a good amount of glitter powder over the glue generously and pat gently with finger. Don't worry about the glitter creating a mess over the cloth.... after it dries in about 6 hours, you can hold the cloth vertically over a newspaper and collect the excess glitter for reuse.


  5. Step 5

    Repeat steps 3 & 4 with the next colour, and the next, until the whole painting is done.

That is so cool! I did something like that with glitter.. I painted an absinthe bottle and made a fairy out of glitter to sit on the bottle. Yours is much cooler, though. :D

Oh my goodness, that's gorgeous. How much glitter did you use?!! Lol, I think if I did that I'd be covered in glitter for a week...

Thank you all for your comments.
Sarah, the painting doesn't need large quantities of glitter... I bought small packets of each colour and they were more than enough.
