Hi,
I would like to add some glitter to paint my daughters bedroom and wondered if anyone had done this before and had any tips and techniques?
I guess it shouldnt be added to the whole tin on the last coat but any advice welcome!

Thanks, Simon

    the best way to add glitter is to add it to varnish as this is a clear medium. If you add it to paint the it covered in the paint colour. kr jaimie k

    A rather messy way of going about it and would have a very uneven distribution of the glitter. By using a matt varnish you dont see it over the paint. Just make sure you give vanish a regular swirl so that the glitter doesnt just sink in the tray. The other bonus is the varnish is highly resistant and in childs bedroom it keeps the walls in good condition for longer

    Have you thought about maybe wallpapering one wall with glitter wallpaper? Might be easier! There are some lovely coloured ones on eBay.

    You can buy paint that already sparkles. We once used a blue colour from B&Q's own range in our kitchen and it was gorgeous. Sorry was our old house so no photos to hand!
