I clearly failed with this blog over the summer. BUT I'm going to give it a shot and upload what I've worked on these past few months. This is something I did when I first moved into my apartment over the summer. I LOVE glitter (obviously) and wanted to make a bunch of things all glitterly.
So heres what you will need:
- Glass whatever you want glittered (I did 4 wine glasses, a candle holder and a vase - super cheap from the dollar store)
- I ended up using the candle holder as a make-up brush holder. Post coming soon!
- Glitter - whatever colors you want
- Mod podge
- Foam brush
- Painters tape
- Newspaper
Directions:
- Set up your work station - I worked on the floor and spread newspaper all over the floor. I also kept a vacuum nearby so I could clean quickly
- Using the painters tape tape off the area that you want to glitter. So I put a piece of tape at the two ends for the vase (the pink one on the right), one piece of tap on the top for the candle holder (the blue on the left), and one piece of tape at the top of the stems for the wine glasses.
- Using the foam brush, put mod podge on the glass where you want the glitter.
- Pour glitter over the mod podge. You may have to roll it around a bit and use a ton of glitter.
- Let this dry overnight.
- Using a clean foam brush, brush on another layer of mod podge. This essentially seals the glitter and prevents it from falling off/getting all over the place.
Here are all my pieces drying
This is a picture of my wine glasses after they were completed
Good Luck!
