Variations on Rainbow Art
- Add glitter: Make your rainbow quote art sparkle and shine by adding some glitter to it. You can use glue or glitter pens to add a little extra pizzazz. Note you’ll want to do this after the paint has fully dried.
- Use strong accent marker pens to add shadows on the fonts.
- Create mixed media mosaic look by adding strips of cut paper, around the art.
- Add other decorations: If you want to make your rainbow quote art even more colorful, you can add other decorations like stickers or washi tape, or even small paper cutouts of things you love, like flowers or animals.
