Check out my glittery name art! I love it. So pretty, right?
I made this name art using plain, non-sparkly pens on ordinary printer paper. There is no glitter or anything shiny or shimmery at all. Read on to find out how to make your own- it's really easy! Affiliate links below.

Faux Glitter Name Art
Materials:
- your name, printed or handwritten, in outlined letters (I used the Ossem Rounded font on PicMonkey)
- markers (I used Ohuhu's paper-friendly Pupe set)
- white Posca pen
Steps:
Choose three markers for each letter of your name. They should be the same basic color, with one darker, one in the middle, and one lighter. Start with the darkest one. Draw dots along the outer edges of your first letter. (I worked from right to left, of course.) The dots should be concentrated along the edges, with an occasional dot in the middle of the letter.
Use your medium color to make more dots, concentrating them just inside the darkest color. Again, allow a few dots to go in the middle and a few along the edges.
Add dots with the lightest color, concentrating them in the middle of the letter.
Finally, add white dots, concentrated at the very center of the letter.
Then move on to the next letter. Obviously, you can use the same three markers or choose another set of three. I like the variety, so I did a modified rainbow.
Here are all of the markers I used to color my name. They look so pretty together! And I love the way they perform on paper. If you haven't read my review of Ohuhu's Pupe paper-friendly markers, do that now.
You can leave your artwork like this, but the letters don't POP until you put them on a black background. Color the background black or cut out the letters and glue them to black paper.
