How to Make a Sparkling Glitter Glass – A Shiny DIY Craft
Introduction
If you love crafting and are looking for a fresh DIY idea, today’s inspiration is just for you! We’ll show you how to create a unique glitter glass using one-component glue and a six-color glitter shaker. The process is easy, fun, and perfect for all ages. The best part? You can find all the materials at EM ART’s online store.
Materials Needed
- Glass glass (can be a cocktail, dessert, or any type you prefer)
- Dragon Spit – Universal water-based glue
- Six-color glitter shaker
- Large flat brush
- Paper tape (optional, for more precise color separation)
Step 1: Preparing the Glass
- Make sure the glass is clean and dry.
- If desired, apply paper tape to the areas you don’t want covered in glitter – this will help you achieve a more precise and neat design.
Step 2: Applying the Glue
- Use the large brush to apply the “Dragon Spit” universal glue to the selected areas of the glass.
- The glue is water-based – lightly dampen the brush before use for easier application.
- Don’t skimp on the glue – a thicker layer holds the glitter better.
Step 3: “Salting” with Glitter
- Choose colors from the six-color glitter shaker – silver, lemon yellow, blue, and others to your liking.
- Generously “salt” the sticky areas with your selected glitter colors.
- If you want to separate the colors into sections, use tape between them.
- Let the glass dry completely – for best results, leave it for at least 24 hours.
Tips and Additional Ideas
- Use different shapes and stencils to create designs with the glue – such as hearts, stars, or spirals.
- The glass can be used as a decoration, a brush holder, or even as a small gift.
- Do not wash the cup in a dishwasher – it’s decorative and not suitable for direct use with beverages.
- If you want a more durable result, apply a layer of clear varnish over the dried glitter.
