Ingredients
  

  • Backless Picture Frame
  • Glitter glue any color
  • Clear glue
  • Food colouring mix of blue, purple, yellow and green
  • Paint brushes medium sized acrylic paint brushes

Instructions
 

  • Add clear glue to center of the glass. Add a couple of drops of food color to glue (we added yellow dye). Mix together on the glass using your paint brush.
  • Add glitter glue to surrounding area and add a few drops of food colour throughout (we added purple). It works best if you paint one colour at a time to avoid the colours mixing together and turning brown. Paint a few swirls to resemble outer space.
  • Continue working outwards adding new colours and mixing the existing colour on the glass. The more dye you add, the darker the result. It’s best to work fairly quickly so that the glue doesn’t harden before you had a chance to blend the joining colours.
  • If you’re not happy with the painting, you can easily wash it away with some warm water even after it’s dried fully. When you’re satisfied with the masterpiece, leave it to dry fully before placing in the frame.
  • Insert into frame and enjoy!
