My love of glitter, a few posts on Pinterest and some experiments later, I've decided to glitter some glasses.
(Originally when I did this it was for my Cousin's Christmas gift; glitter encrusted wine glasses)
You will need a few supplies:
Glasses (I got mine at Target, in the Dollar Spot at 70% off (yep, $.30 a piece!) The Dollar Tree, TJ Maxx...ect ect all have them.
Mod Podge
Tape, I used painters tape on this one, electrical tape and masking tape work too.
Paint brush, I use the foam find
Glitter, the finer the better. Mine came from the scrapbooking section of Michael's.
Acrylic Spray
Plastic wrap
Directions:
Use the tape to make a design on your glass.
Apply a layer of mod podge to your glass. You want the layer to be as even as possible.
Sprinkle on the glitter!
*I usually do my projects over newsprint or parchment paper. It's easy to pour the extra glitter back into the jar this way.*
Carefully remove the tape and set aside to dry for 24 hours.
Check your glass, use a damp paper towel to wipe off excess glitter and allow to dry.
If you need to touch up the glitter, this is a good time to do it. Use your brush to apply a very thin coat of the Mod Podge to the necessary spots and cover with glitter. Let it dry again.
Use the plastic wrap to cover any spots on your glass that you don't want to cover with acrylic spray. (If you don't want to use plastic wrap, you can use a plastic shopping bag and tape.) The spray is not intended for food surfaces and it is flammable before it's dry.
PLEASE read the label for the full instructions!
Set the glasses aside to dry.

When the acrylic spray is dry, remove the plastic wrap. If you need to tidy up any over spray, you can do so with some nail polish remover and blade or a craft knife.

Now you have glittery pint glass ready to go!
