DIY Olympic Medals

Olympic Medals Tutorial by U Create

DIY Olympic Medals

Supply List

canning lids

Krylon Glitter Blast Spray paint

6 yards of red, white, & blue ribbon

Instructions

Lay the duct tape sticky side up on a box and secure the lids to it.  Make sure you secure the duct tape to the sides of the box so the lids won’t fly up when you start spray painting.

Grab your Krylon Glitter Blast Spray Paint and shake it really well; longer than you would normal spray paint.  Otherwise the glitter doesn’t spray out even.  Spray it on in one continuous motion…keep it moving.  The Glitter Blast covers really well, but takes a bit longer to dry than your average spray paint.  So…this is a good time to exercise patience.

Once the medals are completely dry, cut your ribbon into 20” strips and hot glue them to the back of your glitterized lids.

    Using this idea for our bible class this Sunday. Our verse for the month is “The word of the Lord is worth more than gold” so instead of putting an eye in the center, we are going to put a bible sticker! Perfect timing with the Olympics this month! Thank you!
