Mod Podge Margarita Glass - Glitz & Glam

The Finished Glass

Have I mentioned lately how in love I am with Mod Podge? This wonderful DIY crafting glue/sealant has made me step outside my comfort zone and give a little dazzle to many things.

My latest foray has been into adding some glitz to glass and I found this basic margarita glass at my favorite store, Dollar Tree. So, for just a dollar I was able to experiment more with Mod Podge. I took red glitter, Mod Podge and a margarita glass and made a sparkling conversation piece! Now that I have done one, I am working on a set of 6 that a friend of mine is purchasing to give as a wedding gift.







Here is what I did:

Cleaned the margarita glass and dried thoroughly.

Then I applied a thin layer of Mod Podge along the base, stem and halfway up the glass.

I let the Mod Podge sit for about 2 minutes before sprinkling on the red glitter.

Before the Glam

I let that layer of glitter dry for about 4 hours, then I applied a thicker coat of Mod Podge over the glitter, letting it sit for about 2 minutes.

Then I sprinkled on more glitter and let it dry overnight (about 9 hours total).

Once the second layer was dry, I used a dry paint brush and gently brushed over the glitter to remove any excess glitter.

Finally, I applied a top coat of Mod Podge (I did a pretty thick coat for the final coat) and let it dry until the next day.

**If you notice bare spots where the glitter did not adhere when you brush it with the dry brush, simply add some Mod Podge and then sprinkle some glitter and let dry before doing the final coat.
