Glass objects can add a touch of elegance and sparkle to any decor. If you’re looking to add some extra shine to your glassware or decorations, attaching glitter onto glass is a great way to achieve a glamorous look. In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to attach glitter onto glass effectively.

What You’ll Need

  • Clean glass object
  • Glitter (choose a color of your preference)
  • Mod Podge or glue specifically designed for glass
  • Small paintbrush
  • Masking tape or painter’s tape
  • Protective gloves (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Glass Surface

Ensure that the glass surface is clean and free from dirt, dust, or any oils. You can use a glass cleaner or simply wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol to make sure it is thoroughly clean.

Step 2: Masking Tape

If you want to create a clean and defined edge for your glitter application, use masking tape or painter’s tape to section off the area you want to glitter. This will help you achieve a neat and precise result.

Step 3: Apply Glue

Using a small paintbrush, apply an even layer of Mod Podge or glass-specific adhesive onto the glass surface. Make sure to cover the taped-off section completely.

Step 4: Sprinkle Glitter

While the adhesive is still wet, sprinkle the glitter over the glued area. Make sure to cover the surface evenly and thoroughly. You can use a paper plate or a piece of cardboard underneath the glass object to catch any excess glitter for easy clean-up.

Step 5: Remove Excess Glitter

Gently tap the glass object to remove any excess glitter. You can also use a soft brush to sweep away any loose glitter. Be careful not to disturb the glued area or remove too much glitter in the process.

Step 6: Let it Dry

Allow the glitter to fully dry and adhere to the glass surface. It usually takes a few hours, but refer to the adhesive instructions for the recommended drying time.

Step 7: Seal the Glitter (optional)

If you want to ensure the longevity of your glitter design or prevent any potential glitter fallout, you can seal the glitter with another layer of Mod Podge or glass sealer. Apply the sealant carefully, following the manufacturer’s instructions, and allow it to dry completely.

Step 8: Remove Tape and Clean Up

Once the adhesive and glitter are completely dry, gently remove the masking tape or painter’s tape. Clean any residue or excess glitter around the glued area using a soft cloth or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.

Voila! You’ve successfully attached glitter onto glass and added a dazzling touch to your decor. Enjoy your beautiful glittery glass creations!

Remember, this method works best for decorative purposes. If you are planning to use glittered glass for drinkware, make sure to check if your adhesive and sealant are food-safe.

Now that you know how to attach glitter onto glass, get creative and transform your glass objects into stunning, eye-catching pieces.
