Do your walls seem dull and uninviting? Do you long for a cozy, welcoming room? Consider Glitter Wall Painting techniques, such as sponging, ragging, stenciling or stamping. Even if you have no experience, you can brighten even the dullest room quickly and cheaply with one of these easy Glitter Wall Painting techniques.
Before painting your room, pick out a color scheme for your walls. When you chose your paint, remember that many painting techniques use two shades of one color. If you are using one of the techniques that does use two shades of color, you can pick a darker color than you normally would chose for your base color, since the lighter top color will make the final result much lighter.
To sponge or rag a wall, paint on your base color and let it dry thoroughly. Then, dip your sponge or rag into the lighter paint color and sponge or drag the lighter color over the base coat until you are satisfied with the effect. If you are unhappy with your final result, you can repaint any areas that you don’t like with the base coat. Once the repainted area is dry, repeat the faux painting technique.
If you are considering using a decorative painting technique such as stenciling or stamping, you may just want to create a wallpaper effect by stamping or stenciling a simple design over your base coat. However, you may want to go a step further with your project and use stencils or stamps to create a faux brick or stone wall. You don’t need to be an artist to create one of these faux finishes. Just follow these simple steps. First, paint the walls with the color you chose for the mortar between the bricks or stones. Once the base coat is dry, stamp or stencil your bricks or stones over the base coat. Once the brick or stonework is dry, spatter a bit of the darker color over your faux art to give it depth and make it appear more realistic.
Creating faux effects such as making your walls look like they are made of plaster or suede can also really make your room stand out. You can easily learn how to create these seemingly difficult finishes at your local paint store. Paint bases that automatically give a suede or textured effect to the walls are a shortcut that even artists use to create fun finishes.
Finally, no matter which Glitter Wall Painting technique you choose, remember that it is just a few layers of paint. You can always redo the finish on your walls as you learn more about the art of decorative painting.

1) Make the entire helmet of the QB green, just so there is no confusion.
2) Make it scratch-n-sniff
3) Add glitter
4) Paint it on the helmet
5) Allow the individual players to design their own dot
6) Offer different color options
Any other ideas on some changes to make the green dot really super for next season?

I really want to paint some patterns/designs on my bedroom walls and ceiling..
1. Where can I find, buy or order Glow in the dark wall/ceiling paint?
2. I’m wondering if they have a glow in the dark paint that’ll only show up in the dark/lights off, but in
daylight it’ll be invisible.
3. Yellow glow in the dark glitter? Is it possible? if so, where can I find it?!
I live in Canada, but I can do US ordering/shipping..
MANY, MANY thanks!
