Paint pour letters
- Start by mixing a 1:1 ratio of pouring medium and paint. The pouring medium does not need to be shaken. Stir slowly.

- Start by pouring one color randomly all around the letters. Continue doing that with the rest of the colors.
- Then blow around your colors with a straw. Keep a craft stick in each of your colors so you can add in little bits of color where ever you please.
- Sprinkle glitter all over your wet paint. I used green, silver, and red glitter. leave it to dry.
Poured red all around 
Did the same with green 
Then put dots of white and silver all over
Begin blowing your paints into eachother 
Add in dots of colors where ever you please. 
Blow the colors around until your satisfied.
Final touches
- I let mine dry for 24 hours. If you want the sides to match the top just use more paint and let it drip completely down all the sides. take your craft stick and add paint to the parts it missed. If you do this method your dry time may be longer.
- I then took a craft sponge and painted the sides silver. let it dry for a few hours.
- Finished it by spreading the Deco Art top coat with a clean sponge to give it a glossy finish.
