phases of the moon wall art
Step 1 |
First, measure and mark a line straight through the centre of a Styrofoam® disc. |
Step 2 |
Next, use your HotKnife™ to cut along the straight line, separating the disc into two half-circles. Set these two pieces aside until Step 6. |
Step 3 |
Take another Styrofoam® disc and mark two crescent moon shapes. They should be the same size and facing in opposite directions. |
Step 4 |
Use your HotKnife™ to cut out the crescent shapes. Set these pieces and one full disc aside until Step 6, too. |
Step 5 |
Now it’s time to paint your moons! Mix together several shades of grey (ranging from dark to light) using Black Belt and Snowball paints. |
Step 6 |
Use the shades of grey you’ve mixed up to paint the front and sides of each of your five shapes (that’s two half-moons, two crescent moons and one full moon). To do this, dab your stencil brush into a shade of grey paint, then tap it onto the Styrofoam® surface until you’re happy with its colour and texture. |
Step 7 |
Help your moons to shine even brighter! While the paint’s still wet, sprinkle glitter over each moon shape. Shake off the excess glitter and let your moons dry. |
Step 8 |
Measure and mark on your wall where you plan to hang your moons. At each spot, hammer in a nail. |
Step 9 |
To hang each moon, just push its back side into a nail. The nail head will pierce the Styrofoam®, holding the moon in place. |
