DIY: Glitter Canvas

 Update: I am linking up with Hi Sugarplum and crew for their Christmas Cheer linkup party!

 This may be the easiest and glitteriest (yep made that word up) craft I've ever done and I'm sorta kinda really in love with it.

I first saw this pin

and knew that something similar needed to make it's way in my home.

Christmas decoration covered in glitter?!
Sign me up.

I ran to the Hob Lob and picked up the following:

 8x10 canvas (any size or varying sizes would work!)

red glitter

white glitter

mod podge or regular glue

pencil 

paint brush

and a dash of hair spray

Instead of the reindeer (which is adorable) I decided to go with a different holiday image...Santa hat it was!

 I googled some images and started tracing the outline.

(I've also recently decided that if it can't be found on Google, Amazon or Pinterest it isn't worth finding.)

I then applied a thick coat of mod podge to the red area of the hat

 and GENEROUSLY covered it with glitter. I let the glitter dry all of the way before I shook it off.

 Once that was dry I did the same with the white glitter.

 I then sprayed the whole piece with hair spray.

Why? Because Pinterest told me that would work and hold the glitter in place.

And who am I to argue with Pinterest?

Ho Ho Ho glittertastic!

I love the way this turned out! 

I am thinking these would make great gifts and could be super cute for other holidays as well.
