A Glitter Wood Grain Faux Finish {and a Giveaway}

I received free product in order to share this project but all opinions are my own.

I have something fun to share with you today: Mod Podge Rocks! Peel and Stick Stencils.  And let me tell you, they might just rock your world {sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun}.  Check out the glitter wood grain faux finish I made using only one of the new stencils, some Mod Podge, and glitter!

I started with a vintage wood and metal fruit basket that I bought on my junking trip to Round Top, a wood grain Mod Podge Rocks! Peel and Stick Stencil, Mod Podge, a spouncer, and bronze glitter.

I laid the adhesive stencil right onto the fruit basket, rubbed it down …

… and then used the spouncer to apply Mod Podge in all the openings.

When I peeled the stencil off, the Mod Podge was left in a perfect pattern!

I applied glitter generously, shook it off, and let it dry.

I completed the first half of each side, let it dry completely, then finished the second half {you don’t want to lay the stencil down on wet glitter and mess it up so be sure the first section of your project is entirely dry}.

I just love the subtle look of the glitter wood grain faux finish.  It really adds a fun touch to my vintage basket!
