galaxy rings
Lately I am loving the trend with galaxy designs! Galaxies are so easy to create and I thought it would be fun to take the process and create some fun statement rings. This is a fun project for kid and teens or even adults who are want to try painting.

All you are going to need to is acrylic paint (in blues and purples and pinks) and some wood slices.

Start by painting wood slices with a good coat of black paint.

Next, using a brush (any brush will work but I am using a stencil brush) start dabbing purple paint onto the surface. Then dab a little bit of white paint over the top. The two colors will begin to mix together. Embrace the brush marks, this is what will make that galaxy feel like a galaxy!

Continue this process with different colors layered over the top. Dabbing each color.

Once you are satisfied with your colors, let everything dry.

The next step is to add lots of white dots to represent stars!

Once those tiny galaxies are dry, use a thick layer of Mod Podge to seal that surface.

The last step is to glue those galaxies to ring backs. I used my favorite heavy duty glue E6000

The result is a super simple but colorful galaxy ring perfect for any age!
