Steps

Step 1

Organize your materials. Break paint seals with the back of the cap. Squeeze each tube of paint into a cup.
Step 2

Add 1/2 tsp of water to each color and stir gently to remove lumps. Add another 1/2 tsp of water and stir until smooth.
Step 3

Pour 3 tsp of glitter paint into 1st cup.
Step 4

Add equal amounts of glitter paint to the 3 pour cups. Then add equal amounts of each color to the 3 pour cups.
Step 5

Gently insert stick into the layered paint. Move it very slowly from one side of the cup to the other, then lift it out in a scooping motion. (This breaks the paint layers but does not blend them.)
Step 6

Place flat side of canvas on top of each cup and invert, keeping cup against canvas. Repeat with the other 2 cups.
Step 7

Let cups sit for 1 minute. Remove 1st cup and scrape any remaining paint onto the canvas. Repeat with other 2 cups.
Step 8

Gently tilt each canvas to cover top and sides. Let drips fall onto protected surface.
Step 9

Set canvases to dry on empty paint cups. Touch fingertips or bare spots with a craft stick and blended paint. Air-dry from 24–48 hours – until paint is not shiny and canvas texture can be seen.

CIY Staff Tips

Before starting, protect all work surfaces and clothing.
Acrylic Paints are permanent when dry. Wipe up any paint spills when still wet.
Set up and work in a clean, dry environment (low humidity).
Allow Acrylic Paint to completely cover canvas and all sides so design is continuous when displayed.
Experiment with advanced techniques like square pours and dot pours.
