3D Glue Gun Art - Make Masterpieces While At Home and Cover a Wall

Keeping yourself or your kids busy can be difficult.  But getting creative is awesome for stress and anxiety.  Even if you have never created before, you will disappear into this project!

The thing I like the best about this project, is there is no right or wrong way to do this.  If you have a Glue gun, you can let your creativity out in full swing!

Check out this video by Amy Pearce:

What you will Need:

• Hot glue gun with lots of glue sticks
• 
  
• Blank canvas
• 
  
• Acrylic paints
• 
  
• Shoe Polish
• 
  
• A Blank wall to cover with all your creativity from you and your family!
• 
  
• It can be a memory board of 2020!

Method:

Step 1.  Using the hot glue gun create a pattern.  You could also draw it out in pencil first if you want it to be more of a controlled piece rather than a random abstract creation!

Step 2.  Once dry, paint over the entire piece with acrylic paints of your choice as she does in the video.  If you are simply doing an abstract, work with what you have!

Step 3.  Add shoe polish, and then wipe off with a cloth.  You don't have to add shoe polish, but it does create depth, protects the piece and really makes the piece pop with a little sheen.

The best part is this is a fast project, and if you have a wall that has seen better days, what better way to cover it, than with a bunch of artwork!

You can get canvas in bulk online for cheap with Amazon if you don't have any at home.


or...Recycle Old Canvases by Painting Over Them

You could also take old canvas pictures that are collecting dust in your garage and paint over them to recycle. Get creative! 

You don't need to be an artist to create awesome works of art for your home even if you say you don't have a creative bone in your body! This is an great project for young teens, yourself or kids with supervision.

We All Need An Outlet

Sometimes the 24/7 news is too much, and you can't go anywhere right now, so why not spend the time as a family and get creative.  I love the idea of filling a wall with these creations.


I love creating things. Many times I think I should be doing something else like housework, but I notice when creating art, you can simply disappear, and if you choose projects that are not tedious, frustrating or difficult, the creativity just flows.

I think this is one of those projects, where you simply can't go wrong. 

Create some positive memories from this time at home.

Stay safe everyone!
