Please welcome my sweet friend Fawnda who is showing us a tutorial that she made for her daughter.
Hello It’s So Very Cheri! I am so excited to be here with you all today! Cheri is truly AMAZING and I don’t know how she does it all… but it all is fabulous so I hope she keeps on doing it! 🙂
Let me introduce myself!
I am Fawnda and you can find me at Fireflies and Jellybeans! I am a thirty-something mom of a son (3 1/2 years old) and a daughter (14 months)! My Husband is my best friend and biggest supporter {I am every lucky}!
We have all sorts of fun over at Fireflies and Jellybeans! I share crafty tutorials with you, we have the Iron Crafter Competition and a fun Show Off Your Stuff linky party on Thursdays.
Here is a project I made for my daughter when we found out she was coming home from Korea.
Both my children are adopted from Korea and they are truly a blessing to us!
Here is a A SUPER cute and easy piece of art! I have always loved butterflies and that is the theme of the nursery.
Here is what you will need:
Blank Canvas
Paint
Vinyl Stickers
Glitter
Glue
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 areas 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, but, 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
