Whether you are struggling to find the perfect piece to fit your decor, or you simply would love a fun art project to complete in your spare time, this wall art tutorial is a great option! Created by Jamie Satterwaite, this  art can be created and ready to be hung in just a few hours.  And lucky for me, I don’t  have to be a great artist in order to create my own beautiful faux pewter art.

Faux Pewter Wall Art Supplies

Supplies Needed:

  • Glass picture frame
  • Silver Leaf
  • Soft paint brush
  • Metallic black acrylic paint
  • Metallic gray acrylic paint
  • Metallic white acrylic paint
  • Spray adhesive
  • Old toothbrush
  • Gloves
  • Vinyl decal or quote

Directions:

Remove glass from frame and clean well.

Faux Pewter Wall Art Step 1If adding a vinyl quote or decal, apply to glass.

Faux Pewter Wall Art Step 2Using a toothbrush, dip into white metallic paint a splatter the paint onto the glass. The best way to accomplish this is the dip toothbrush into paint, wipe excess off and slowly drag your thumb across the top.

Faux Pewter Wall Art Step 3Repeat this step with the other colors. Continue to splatter until you are happy with the final results. Just remember, a little goes a long way.

Allow paint to dry completely.

Working in small sections, spray an area with adhesive and apply silver leafing. Using the paintbrush, smooth out any air bubbles as you go.

Faux Pewter Wall Art Step 4Repeat this process until completely covered.

Allow to dry for 4 hours before placing it back into the frame.

Faux Pewter Wall Art DetailI love this look! With such a wide variety of wall decals on the market, including quotes, you can really let your imagination run wild with this project.
