Bellpull End -tutorial

Easy and cheap way to hang your home made decoration on the wall is to use Bellpull End. It is cheaper than framing and easy to do by yourself. Shops sell different kind of Bellpull Ends but sometimes it is just reasonable to do it all by yourself. If it can not be seen to the front side it doesn't matter how the Bellpull End looks. But if you need to show it, here's one tip how to make it sparkling.

You need paint, glitter and decoupage glue.

You need also round wooden stick. This one is a piece of an old curtain rod.

Use sandpaper to smooth over the rod and to take away the old paint or varnish. Place paper on the table to protect it from the mess. Put pins to the ends of the rod and place the rod on something; I used fire wood.

Pins are excellent aid during the painting. You can hold them to avoid messing up the surface.

I use water-soluble paint...

...because it is easier to clean your brushes.

When the paint is dry and ready for other layers; mix the decoupage glue and glitter. Use another jar if you need later plain decoupage glue. ;)

Stir the glue to get the glitter mixed up.

Spread out the glitter decoupage glue all over the desired area.

You can keep it just a little bit of shine and glamour...

...or put it more and more and more. Depending on how visible you want the effect to be.

Some projects just are too speacial for factory made Bellpull End.
