I’m sure there is a MUCH better way to do this, but to get the wall as SPARKLY as I wanted it to be, this is what worked for us! We LOVE it, it’s SO SO SO sparkly and Laikyn’s dreams of a pink princess sparkle room has come true!
#ROSE GOLD SPARKLE PAINT MOD#
I wish I would have counted how many glitter bottles/mod podge bottles I used, but I didn’t! I think it was somewhere close to 5 Mod Podge and 18-20 glitter. My husband did say that the wall would have to be retextured if we wanted to change it. The glitter DOES NOT flake off or come off of the wall in any way. I’m STILL touching up several months later. Once it dries, just pull the tape off and touch up in any areas that are noticeably empty. I went back in with a regular paint brush and touched up by “blotting” the mixture instead of painting it on. Once I finished, I just waited for it to dry so I could see the spots that I missed. I repeated all of these steps, making the mixture as I painted so I wasn’t wasting any of it. It took me a good 2-3 days during nap times to get this wall done and I STILL have some touching up to do, so this is not a small and quick project! LC’s wall is 8 ft by 12 ft. You are going to want to start at small increments and increase once you have covered the space. I had a drop cloth and paint tape, and really recommend to do the same. If you don’t paint UP then it’s going to get everywhere. So then you are going to paint/plaster it on in an UPWARD motion. I used these foam brushes in 4″ and went through several of them. I only used a little at a time so that it would not dry out. I used A LOT of gold glitter and mixed to the consistency of cement.
To make the glitter paint, I started by pouring in the Mod Podge and mixing in gold glitter to the consistency that I wanted it. I let that dry for a day before I started with the glitter. Then I painted over her chevron wall (sad, I know…) with the Aged Brass paint by Valspar. First, I taped the wall off and put the drop cloth down.
