Use glue to form a pattern on the surface, than sprinkle glitter on the glue. Allow to dry completely, then shake off excess glitter into the garbage before proceeding. Use glue to adhere decorations to frame. It s easiest to apply the glue in a small dot, with the frame flat on table. Allow glue to set to a tacky texture, then stick your decoration on each dot of glue.
Older children can use a hot glue gun to quickly set objects in place.
After the frame is finished, you may want to spray paint it. A lacquer finish will give the entire project a shiny look, and a gold spraypaint will tint everything gold, etc. Remember this is optional. The entire project can usually be finished in 1-2 hours, depending on what kind of paint you use. Squiggle paints usually take a little longer to dry than regular acrylic paints, so plan accordingly.
