This step explains how to make a foam surface sparkly. I'm still tinkering with the method. Do note that if you do this, you will be finding sparkles in the corners of your room for weeks.

Materials

  • Dry sparkles
  • Paint, of the same color
  • Masking tape
  • Mod Podge (optional)

Tools

  • Cup (to catch the sparkles in)
  • Big box (to isolate the mess)
  • Paint brush
