How to Make a Glitter Wall in Your Craft Room
A DIY glitter wall is a fun and easy way to add some sparkle to your craft room. It's also a great way to use up leftover glitter from other projects. Here's how to make your own glitter wall:
**Materials:**
* Wall space in your craft room
* Painter's tape
* Paint (your choice of color)
* Glitter (your choice of color)
* Mod Podge (or other decoupage medium)
* Paintbrushes
* Drop cloth
* Safety glasses
* Gloves
**Instructions:**
1. **Protect your work surface.** Lay a drop cloth over the floor and any surrounding furniture.
2. **Measure and mark the area of the wall you want to cover with glitter.** Use painter's tape to create a border around the marked area.
3. **Paint the wall.** Apply a coat of paint to the wall, using a brush to apply the paint in even strokes. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
4. **Apply glitter.** Sprinkle glitter over the wet paint. Use your fingers to press the glitter into the paint. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
5. **Seal the glitter.** Apply a coat of Mod Podge or other decoupage medium over the glitter. This will help to protect the glitter and prevent it from falling off. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely before using the wall.
**Tips:**
* If you are using a dark color of paint, you may need to apply two coats of primer.
* If you are using a light color of paint, you may only need to apply one coat of primer.
* If you are using a glitter that is not very sticky, you may need to use a glue or Mod Podge to help it adhere to the paint.
* Be sure to wear safety glasses and gloves when sanding, painting, and applying glitter.
* If you make a mistake, you can always sand off the paint and start over.
**Troubleshooting:**
* If the paint is not adhering to the wall, you may need to sand the wall again or apply a second coat of primer.
* If the glitter is not sticking to the paint, you may need to use a glue or Mod Podge to help it adhere.
* If the glitter is falling off, you may need to apply another coat of Mod Podge or decoupage medium.
