Who loves glitter?? Today I’m sharing a fun craft project that shows off your state and adds a bit of sparkle to your home decor.

Glitter State Art

Glitter State Washington ArtI have this fun floating frame that is perfect to swap out between seasons or as my mood changes (see it in action with my DIY Gold Foil print)

I used some glittered card-stock from the scrapbooking section at JoAnn’s for this project, this paper comes in a ton of colors and lets you use glitter without dealing with the mess of loose glitter.

There are multiple ways to get the state outline, I’ve even seen a few fonts that are simply state shapes. Washington has some intricate islands in Puget Sound so I found a simplified outline of the state and then used the trace function in the Silhouette Design Studio to determine what to cut.

I also cut out the word “home” from the center of the state using Samantha Italic Font to give it a bit more detail. The cut-out was then mounted on white card-stock and placed in the frame.

Glitter Washington StateI absolutely love how this turned out. The gold glitter is a fun component to add to my mantle. I could see this piece showing up in the frame between holidays or potentially finding a permanent home somewhere else in the house because I love it!
