Gold glitter wall art DIY

This is a simple, quick and easy DIY you can do. I went on to Google search and typed New Zealand map outline and chose from the images results. You can use that image as a guide if you're drawing freehand or use the image to print. Basically, I drew freehand on paper, cut the map, and trace the outline on the canvas. Alternately, you can draw directly freehand on the canvas. Once you have the outline on the canvas, you can start painting on the gold glitter glue. For me, since I used a thick layer of the glitter glue, it took about 5 days to dry. If you use glue separately and sprinkle on gold glitter, I think that dries quicker since all the glue will be covered by glitter. Anyways, either way will give you the same beautiful result. You can choose whatever country or state you want to do. Please take a photo and tag me on Facebook if you try this DIY. I'd love to see what you make.

P.S. This is quite fitting for New Zealand because the gold rush kickstarted the country's economy in the 1860s. Just a little history lesson from my boyfriend lol

Hey everyone. I’m Chris Quimbo. I’m an orthopedic operating room nurse by profession. I love my job; there’s something about hammering an implant into a femur that makes my day. However, I’m also passionate about travel. I enjoy living with the locals, talking to people who are so different from me and yet still be the same, experiencing new cultures, learning a local language, enjoying nature and seeing how beautiful the world is. And that’s also why I have this fervent desire to be a conscious consumer, minimize my waste and leave the earth around me as how it was made. About 1,000 animal species are lost per year and that’s because of human caused habitat destruction and climate change; not many people are aware of this or that everyday habits they do contribute to so much to this extinction. Social media is a powerful platform and it’s great that I can use it to spread the message to my friends, family and strangers that come across my Instagram or Youtube channel. I try to lead by example, slowly influencing people around me and hopefully, in the future, reach thousands of people. Thanks for being here and for being a part of my journey!
