I'm thence excited to demonstrate ya'll my latest picayune creation...my DIY sequin fine art I made out of an one-time slice of thrift shop art.
Here's what it looked similar when I outset brought it home. Like a picayune magenta fourth dimension capsule direct from 1991.
Luckily, it was alone a few bucks, as well as it was a custom framed impress amongst a dainty shape as well as adept size mat. I knew it would last perfect for what I had inwards mind.
It was super tardily to make, too. All you lot withdraw is a silvery spray paint, white spray paint, a frame, a mat, to a greater extent than or less paper, hot glue, as well as to a greater extent than or less sequins.
First, guide maintain apart your frame, as well as disassemble all of the pieces.
Next, spray pigment the frame silver, spray pigment the mat white, as well as and thence role the backside of the one-time fine art for your novel art. I chose to use Rust-Oleum Flat White for the mat thence that it wouldn't stick to the glass. I've had problems amongst that before, as well as guide maintain establish that apartment white spray pigment industrial plant slap-up for this.
Spray icon outdated fine art mats is such a slap-up agency to relieve money, as well as I practise it all the fourth dimension now!
Now for the art. I establish it helpful to describe a picayune guide on the backside of artwork. The master copy impress was genuinely glued to a foamboard, thence it was the perfect surface for my novel art.
You tin genuinely pattern whatever shape or pattern you lot want. I chose to brand a herringbone pattern. I sketched out my pattern amongst a pen, using a ruler to help. No 1 volition e'er run across your lines, thence don't worry almost messing up.
Next, I gathered my supplies: sequins, paper, ribbon, as well as hotglue.
Hotglue your sequins on first. Start from the bottom row as well as and thence function your agency up, overlapping from left to right, as well as overlapping each layer vertically.
Then, cutting stripes of newspaper (I used an exacto knife) to stand upwardly for the adjacent row. Glue those on equally well. This volition comprehend upwardly parts of your final row of sequins as well as brand a dainty build clean line.
I chose to trim back everything amongst silvery ribbon, too. It gave it a dainty finished look.
Then, pose the mat dorsum on, insert your novel fine art dorsum into the frame, as well as voila! Some chic novel fine art for pennies on the dollar!
I absolutely honey the agency it turned out!
That's all for today!
Thanks thence much for stopping by! Don't forget to pivot this post thence you lot tin discovery it adjacent fourth dimension you lot withdraw it!
