as you know, i love a quick and easy project. and i love hearts and glitter–so this is pretty much perfect for me! {and perfect for valentines!}
i spread a lot of aqua paint over an 8×10 canvas. i wanted a lot of texture. i left the edges white-but it would be easy to cover the edges too.
then i used a heart cutout {while the paint was still wet} as a stencil and sprinkled red glitter around the edge of the heart.
remove the heart and let the paint dry completely.
so fun and easy peasy. of course you can do the same thing with any shape-bird, star, crown, flower, an initial. lots of possibilities.
raise your hand if you love valentine’s day and hearts and glitter!

Lisa…I knew you did jewelry but I didn’t know you had a separate blog too…found this from “Faith Barista”blog today.
Cute idea with the “easy peasy” heart and paint/glitter.
I LOVE this idea!! I am going to try this with a Dr. Seuss cut-out for my baby boy’s first birthday party… thanks for the inspiration!
This is wonderful! It’s adorable, but I feel like I (a wannabe-but-not-very-good-at-crafts-kinda-girl) might be able to take it on!
Very cool! I love it!
I just found your blog, off of a link from Simple Mom. You’re amazing. I love your projects, your ideas, your style, everything. Thank you for sharing!
LOVE, LOVE LOVE IT!!!
I picked willow braches from my back yard and put them in a vase (idea taken from you) and placed a red bird on the branch for Valentines day…maybe I will do something similar , I feel artsy today! THANK YOU!!
What kind of camera do you use? I am in the market for a new one and your photos are beautiful! I also love taking pictures.
LOVE!
That is just darling! I am going to make one of those for certain.
super cute! thanks for sharing : )
Just went to Michaels craft store and bought supplies for this-so cute!!
ADORABLE. Doing it today.
If the baby will sleep…
What kind of glitter?
i used martha stewart’s glitter (super fine) from michaels! xo
Love love love it! Will try it very soon. The crown shape sounds attractive.
Thanks for sharing.
Help! I’m just trying out the crafting thing and used card stock for my template – it stuck to the paint. Would you suggest that my paint might have been too wet still or my paper the wrong type? I was able to salvage the whole thing and it’s not all bad! Thanks SO much for the inspiration.
hi tami! i would just pull up the card stock and then smooth the paint from underneath. i hope it works!!
