Glittery Shamrock Canvas

In case you missed my Friday Feature on Fireflies and Jellybeans, here it is!

A fun craft I just finished for St. Patrick's Day!  

To make my Glittery Shamrock Canvas, you will need:

 An artist canvas, mine is 10x10

      Green craft paint

            Mod podge, I used both matte and glossy finish

    Green Glitter     

Silver sequins

     Cut out of shamrock  (just draw an outline and cut the shape out)

A little patience....

Start by painting your canvas.  It doesn't have to be perfect as most of it will be covered.  Make sure to paint the edges well though.

Let dry.

 Cut out your shape.  And lay your pattern on your canvas.  If you need to tape the edges down, go ahead.  Now cover your shamrock opening with Mod podge.  Lay it on thick!

Then cover with glitter until well coated.   Shake off and reapply mod podge  and glitter if you have any bare spots.

Remove pattern and let dry a bit. 

I did the next step a little at a time.  Coat an area of your canvas with mod podge.  Cover with sequins. 

Do the same to the rest of the canvas a little at a time.  You will need to shake your canvas a few times to make sure to get off any sequins that are not sticking.  Once it is covered, let dry.

Apply a coat of glossy mod podge over the whole canvas.  Do not brush the mod podge on, just use your brush and dab it on all over to cover.  Let dry again.

I just love the way it looks in different lighting!
