Sparkling Wine Glasses Using Mod Podge
Who knew that I would fall in love with using Mod Podge. My friend, Melissa, always sang praises about the great DIY, crafty things that could be done using this miracle glue. While, I believed that things could be done when she did them, I was a little skeptical on whether or not I could make something turn out so neat.
So...I took a leap of faith and created a pair of beautiful sparkling wine glasses. I took black glitter (just because that is glamorous and striking), mod podge and two wine glasses that I picked up at Dollar Tree. I then went to work...
I applied a layer of mod podge, sprinkled the glitter and let it dry for about 2 hours (some say to let it dry overnight but the layer of mod podge was not super thick and dried quickly).
I then added another layer of mod podge and sprinkled glitter to ensure that the entire area had been covered and was sparkly. I did let that dry overnight because I was heading out to the Blues game and did not get back to it until the next day.
Finally, I applied a nice, thick coating of mod podge to seal in the glitter and make it safe to wash. This took another 6 hours or so to dry fully (depending on the thickness of the mod podge, dry time will vary).
When my friend Susan saw these she was blown away and quickly wanted to know how I did it! I think for a first time effort, they turned out pretty cool.
I will be experimenting with mod podge and documenting my successes and failures on here, so stay tuned....
