![]() On the sides of the canvas I simply removed the tape (carefully!) and applied mod podge in the same dripping pattern and sprinkled the glitter mixture on top, again leaving this to dry overnight. ![]() The next day we poured off the extra glitter and used the sheet to gather the extras back into the cup. *SIDE NOTE* While the painting was drying we made sure to wipe off any excess texture from the tape, so when we removed the tape from the sides it wouldn’t chip the texture and glitter off from the top. Once the drips were formed with the texture mixture, we heavily coated the wet mixture with the glitter mixture. Take your time but also keep in mind that you want to sprinkle the glitter on while the texture is still wet so the glitter will stick. It is also important to do a variety of thicknesses and lengths in the drips to look more realistic. My mom did this by dragging the spoon in a downward motion while also making the drips thicker at the top and thinning out towards the bottom. Once I had the top coated solidly with the texture mixture to the point I wanted, I started forming the drips. I then began to solidly cover the top of the canvas, using a spoon, with the paint/salt/mod podge mixture, since I wanted the glitter and texture to be dense at the top and appear to drip down the canvas. Then I poured the glass glitter and fine champagne glitter into a plastic cup and had a plastic spoon ready to go for scooping. We are ready to begin! I started by taping off the side edges of the canvas and putting an old bed sheet down on the table.
