Painting glitter on a ceiling

Question

I want to paint glitter and sparkles on my outdoor ceiling. Any suggestions?

Carol · Answer

My suggestion would be to not do this. :>)

Susie Rufener · Answer

That was a big trend in the late 50 & early 60's most people eventually hated it.

Cindy Hagemann · Answer

There is additive that can put in paint to make any paint have glitter in it. I agree with the others that it is probably not a good idea though. We did a glitter wall in my daughter's room several years ago and it was so hard to paint over. Think it over before doing it.

Barbara Gray · Answer

That sounds awful.  You will get tired of it and it will be a mess  to get rid of.

Well in the 60 s I love d it.  Now I'm in my 60 s.  So I think I'll be ok. But thank you

I have reading the comments and think that if it makes you happy, its the perfect reason to do it! You could paint it in a plain color, and then add the glitter using modge, in the same way that you would if you were doing a craft project. You can even buy glitter-modge, although it would be simple to make your own. Another suggestion would be use fairy lights for a similar effect.

Karen several years back I glittered my kitchen ceiling and I have had nothing but good comments on it.   I have rather low ceilings so the glitter reflects the light subtly. Go to Home Depot,  they sell glitter for what you want to do they also sell the bottle to put it in.   How they explained it to me is to paint a bit of the ceiling at a time and then squirt the glitter towards the ceiling  it will stick to the paint.  I would suggest you cover or empty out your room and continuously vacuum.  Good luck. :)
