The June craft day selection was the DIY Metallic painting shown here. This time my friend Margaret hosted. She put together an awesome salad bar spread and made amazing sangria to sip while we crafted.
Supplies needed:
Canvas
Paint
Brushes
Painters tape
Metallic spray paint
We started off by laying out our canvas on the grass and began painting it with any color or design we wanted. I chose blue, teal and gray tones and just started putting splats of each color all over the canvas.
While the paint dried, we had a delicious lunch! (and Sangria!)
Once our paint had dried we took painters tape and made a design over the canvas, leaving space between each piece. Rather than doing herringbone like the tutorial suggested, I decided to do chevron - because I have a slight obsession. This is the tedious part, making sure the tape is lined up and even.
After we were all done making our painters tape designs we took our metallic spray paint and sprayed the entire canvas and left it to dry.

Once the spray paint was dry we peeled it off to reveal our metallic art!
We were all really happy with the way they turned out. Such a fun day!
Do you have craft days with your friends?
