How can I add glitter to faux snowflakes on a DIY ornament?
+11
I recently made an ornament using faux snowflakes for the ornament exchange that my sister is having at her Christmas Eve family get together. It looks really nice, but, I think that a little sparkle would make it a little more eye catching and prettier. How can I add glitter to the faux snow flakes that I've already added to the ornament that I've made?
Your wreath is so festive and cute! Have you tried rubbing on glitter glue?
Hello. Consider using a glue like Elmers or even a glue gun (if thicker is desired) with glitter
YOu could use Mod Podge to adhere it. Hope that helps.
Spray glitter would work. Very nice.
Reviewing options in your local craft store might be helpful.
Potentially show you multiple options.
Shown below is an old squeeze on product that I purchased years ago— but they do have both paint on and squeeze on faux snow products.
It would be a one step process might be easier than glue and glitter.
Hi ! Use any clear drying glue ...Elmers , tacky glue , mod podge ...Will all work fine ! 😀 cute ornament !!!
Paint the snowflakes with Elmer's school glue. Dries clear. The sprinkle glitter. Let it dry. Shake off any residue.
Dab on a little mod podge and then sprinkle with glitter. Hold it at an angle over a box or bowl so that the glitter doesn't go all over the fabric parts of the ornament.
Buy spray on glue and then put glitter on it while it is wet.
Hi Aleithia, your wreath ornament is lovely. If you don't want the glitter to get all over your ornament you can use two pieces of cardstock and slide them gently under the snowflakes before adding the glitter.
