Glittery Glassware

HEY GUYS! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a long while. I have been swamped with getting things ready for the Pumpkin Festival. So much crafting! I made 15 sets of coasters Saturday and Sunday  each set has for tiles. I worked on bottles all last week; and these past few days I've worked on bottle cap magnets and necklaces. Its insane.

So for this blog, i'm gonna keep it short, sweet, and glittery! Time to bust out the glitter and podge!

Supplies Needed:

  • Glass item - Such as a candle plate, wine flute, martini glass.
  • Modge Podge
  • Various glitter colors
  • Paintbrush
  • Painters tape
  • Paper plates.



Step One:
Once you have picked the glass item you want to add some glitter too, tape off the area that shall be glittered.

Step Two:
Add podge to the area that is in the taped off section. A decent layer of it to, nice and thick.

Step Three:
Pour on the glitter! Hold the glass over the paper plate and sprinkle the glitter onto the podged area. Its ok if it gets onto a non podged area cause it'll just come right off. You cannot put to much glitter on it. Once you have a nice thick coat all over the podged area you shouldn't be able to see any white of the podge. Shake and tap the item to get the loose glitter off. Its ok, don't panic about it. Glitter goes pretty far. Take the tape off before it dries; the tape might pull up all your work once it hardens.
Let it dry completely.

Step Four:
Once the podge on the jar is dry pat another decent layer of podge over the glittered area. This will just seal it in. Once that layer has dried spray it with an acrylic-water proof sealer. Then viola!, you have a perty glittered glass!

Here are some examples:




This blog is going to be fairly sparse until the after the Pumpkin Festival, which is the 20th of this month. So maybe i'll post another thing before then, maybe not. We shall see; stay tuned for more awesomeness!

Bye everybody!
