Glittery Rainbow Picture Frame


     Bring some color and sparkle to any room with a glittery rainbow frame.

Materials:

*Picture frame
*White paint
*Red paint
*Orange paint
*Yellow paint
*Green paint
*Blue paint
*Purple paint
*Black paint
*Glitter paint
*Sponge paintbrush

Directions:

*If the picture frame is not already white, paint it white.  Let dry.  I only used one coat of white paint, which did not fully cover the black of the frame, which meant I had to apply more paint later in certain places to cover the dark spots.  You may want to do multiple coats to avoid having to do this.

*Once the frame is painted white and completely dry, paint your first color in one of the corners of the frame.  I started with a pink, which I made by mixing red and white paints

*For your next color, start by marking off the places where you want this layer of color to end and then fill in, working your way back toward the first color.

*Once you reach the first color, mix together the two colors a little where they meet.

*Repeat the process for the second color with the third, then fourth, then fifth, etc. colors.  The more intermediate colors you use (e.g. going from yellow to yellow-green to green-yellow to green instead of from yellow straight to green), the more the colors will blend and transition into one another.

*Once you've finished painting the various colors, let dry.

*Once the frame is dry, paint on a layer of glitter paint.  Let dry.
