Create beautiful boutique-style wall art for your home in just a few simple steps! The creation is very simple, and fast. The longest part of this project will just be waiting for the glue to dry!
Pick your canvas, and spray paint with your desired color. Allow to dry completely (preferably over night). Pick out complementing accent flat-sided marbles (these can be found inexpensively at a dollar store, or a thrift store).
Pick where you would like your words to be, and draw a shape around them (I did a heart), and draw in your quote. I used a lighter sharpie to start, then went over it with black. The lettering was inspired by Madeline & Diane Tompkin's alphabet in the book, "Creative Lettering: Techniques & Tips from Top Artists." Start gluing down the marbles. To make it less messy, just go row by row.
Keep filling in your canvas as desired, being sure to use plenty of mod podge, as the marbles will be heavy. Leave on a flat surface. Allow to dry completely before moving (it should now be clear). Touch up your lettering if needed.
Display your finished product! Note: This canvas will be extremely heavy, so make sure it is secure.
