Since it was so cold this weekend, I decided that I would spend it inside, avoiding going out at all costs. I stayed in my PJs, read a whole bunch, and got a little crafty! I was inspired by the canvases that I saw on
Emily's Etsy shop and decided to try to make some of my own. I chose four countries with unique shapes, all ones that I would like to visit one day - Australia, England, Italy, and South Africa. I took the pictures with my phone, so sorries for the bad quality.
Materials:Mod PodgeGlitter (I used gold glitter that I got from Wal-Mart)Paint (I used navy and vintage white)Paint brushCanvasesPencilSteps:1. I started by printing out pictures of the countries' outlines and traced them onto the canvas.2. Next, I drew a chevron pattern around the country's outline.
3. I painted the vintage white chevron stripes first.
4. Then I painted the rest of the chevron stripes navy. I had to do two layers of the navy.
5. Next, I mixed one part mod podge and two parts gold glitter together.
6. I painted the mixture to fill in the country's drawing. I did two thick layers. Just do it until there are no more white spots!
7. And voila! Done! Admire your masterpiece!
