Glitter Deer Tutorial


     Okay, so we've all seen this on Pinterest, and we've all admired the idea... so, I finally buckled down and tried it - adding my own flare... and I LOVE IT! (Okay, I'd probably love it more on a white background so it would have more "pop"... but this is more Christmas like)

Supplies:
  • Canvas
  • Paint choice (unless you are going to stick with white canvas)
  • Mod Podge
  • Glitter
  • Paint Brushes
  • Scissors
  • Marker/Pen



Paint your canvas - I used 2 layers for this --- If you are sticking with white canvas, you can skip this step!


Find the silhouette you like best (I just used Google)... I then re-sized it in Photoshop to be 8X13 for my canvas... in order for it to print, I had to cut the image in half and print both.


I then cut out the image and taped it together... so that I could have 1 deer 


I then outlined the deer with a marker on the canvas... I would recommend doing it in a light color, or a color that is similar to the glitter you are using! 


I mixed my glitter with Mod Podge and painted it on. I did this for 2 reasons: 1. So there wasn't glitter everywhere, 2. So that the glitter didn't flake off later - it's stuck on there pretty good now.

I decided to make this an "Ombré" deer using 3 different shades of green glitter. You could always just use one color if that's more your fancy.

But I urge you to try this with what ever shape or critter you want, because it's fun to do and turns out awesome!

So this is what 25 feels like...













Holiday Look Book Week 3


The Holiday Look Book will be posted every Thursday until December 21st.

Want to win an adorable hand-made felt headband from Yellow Elm? Scroll down to the bottom!

"Yellow Elm features fanciful felt accessories like headbands, bobby pins and brooches that are thoughtfully made with love in friendly and fun Greenville, South Carolina. Each piece is hand-constructed using the traditional method of wet felting, ensuring a thorough, natural uniqueness down to the fiber.
Each Yellow Elm piece begins with bright ideas, colorful thoughts and a natural material called wool roving. The process of wet felting dates back thousands of years and transforms the roving into finished felt. The fibers of the roving are torn apart and then arranged in a crisscross pattern. Then, the roving endures a boiling bath and rough scrub, but it’s all for the best—the fibers interlock and begin to dry and shrink. The felt forms, ready to be embellished with decorations like beading and lace."

"Eloping Designs is a jewelry store that prides itself on unique, affordable handmade jewelry and hair accessories for all women. The owner, Paige, was frustrated with jewelry in stores because it was cheap, would break often and earrings irritated her ears and bracelets didn't fit her wrists and necklaces never laid in just the right spot. So, she started making her own and then decided to sell it from the encouragement of friends. It was a little bit later that her great grandmother told her she also made jewelry in the past and sent her all the supplies she still had left. Now, the jewelry shop is a great way to honor her late great grandmother. All jewelry is able to have the length customized to fit your body and all is tested for durability before being sent to you."
