Teach Me: No Mess Glitter Application

Have you heard that old joke that glitter is the herpes of the crafting world?

Yeah.

That’s why I hated glitter. It got everywhere. It was impossible to clean up. Until I started doing this. I don’t know why I didn’t think of this earlier. It would have saved me so much time and clean up.

Last summer I won a Mod Podge contest. My prize package included several different bottles of MP, including sparkle and glitter. I literally gasped when I saw it. Genius! But sometimes I want more glitter….so this is what I do.

Supplies:
Mod Podge
Glitter

Simply add glitter to the Mod Podge (MP) and mix. Add more glitter for more coverage; add less if you just want a little sparkle.

Use a brush to paint the glitter glue onto your project.

The Mod Podge dries clear and seals in the glitter, so you don’t have to worry about it “shedding” every where.  It’s a no mess glitter application!

You can use it for detailing, like I did with this zebra striped jewelry box:

Or apply it to your entire project, like I did with this crown:

I’m glad to say that I don’t hate glitter anymore!
