Step 1.
Paint one part of the wooden figure and leave to dry. Apply another generous coat of paint on the same part of the wooden figure. The coat of paint should be so thick that you can sprinkle glitter in the thick wet paint.
Step 2.
Sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint. Repeat this process wherever you want to sprinkle glitter. Paint the other parts of the figure that you don't want to decorate with glitter.
Step 3.
When the paint is completely dry, apply a coat of acrylic lacquer onto the areas sprinkled with glitter in order to fix it and prevent it from coming off.
