This project is pure fun, you’re taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary.

By gluing sequins and confetti along the bristles, it looks like the brush is mid-stroke, spilling a rainbow of sparkles across the table.

The painted pink handle adds a soft, dreamy vibe, but you can customize it with any color.

It’s quick to make, costs almost nothing, and makes an amazing conversation piece for your craft room or office.

Materials Needed

• 1 medium flat paintbrush (2” wide)
• Acrylic paint (1 small bottle, any color for handle)
• 1-2 tablespoons mixed confetti (round, star, and glitter shapes)
• Craft glue or hot glue gun
• Small rhinestones or sequins (optional, for extra sparkle)

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Begin by painting the handle of your brush with acrylic paint. Two coats usually give a smooth finish. Let it dry completely.

Step 2: Apply a generous layer of glue to the bristles and immediately sprinkle confetti over them. Press lightly so it sticks well.

Step 3: Allow the glue to dry, then add a second layer of confetti to make the paint stroke look fuller and more dimensional.

Step 4: Add rhinestones or sequins near the metal ferrule for an extra touch of glam.

Step 5: Let everything dry fully before displaying your paintbrush art upright or flat against a wall.

Tip:

Try making a set of three with different handle colors for a gallery-like display.
