How to Glitter Glasses with Creative Hobby Supplies

Glittering glasses has become hugely popular recently and Creative Hobby Supplies now has the supplies for you to be able to have a go at this craft yourself at home!

You will need:

- A Glass 
- Superfine Glitter (we have a range of different colours available in the shop)
- Glue - Mod Podge
- Paint Brush or sponge
- Tape - optional
- A small pot
- Scrap Paper for working on

1. Tape above or underneath the area you are going to be glittering (optional).

2. Pour a small amount of Mod Podge Glue into a small pot.

3. Take your paintbrush or sponge and paint the Mod Podge onto the area you are going to be glittering.

4. Sprinkle the glitter onto the glued area of the glass (over the scrap paper so that you can tip the excess glitter back into the pot!).

5. When the whole area is covered in glitter, tap the glass to remove the excess glitter and then leave the glass to dry.

6. Once the first layer has dried you can repeat the above steps to add more layers of glitter to your glass.


7. Once you are happy with the amount of glitter on the glass (my example used 2 layers of glitter) and you have once again left it to dry finish off with one last coat of Mod Podge. This will seal in the glitter and stop it from coming off on your hands when using.

8. I have found that these glasses can take a gentle wash of water after using but DO NOT put in the dish washer or scrub the glittered area!

9. If you wish to glitter the top of the glass it is best to leave a gap around the top of the glass. This is so that your lips do not touch the glittered area and get irritated when using. If you are simple glittering for display purposes only then you can glitter the whole glass!

10. You can now glitter a whole range of glasses! 

I hope you have fun glittering glasses! They make great gifts or display pieces.

Happy glittering,
