I want to emerse a lace tablecloth in concrete, then drape it over a chair. I would like to be able to spray paint it, then add different color glitter........any ideas? This would be for outside, so would need to be able to weatherproof it also

    Wow! I love your idea! I really hope you post a picture of it when you’re done! Rustoleum is a good outdoor spray paint and after the glitter you could clear coat your project.

    I'm not sure if I quite understand the concept, but I am curious to know more about it, as it sounds unique. Do you have a picture of a completed project, or a source of where you found the idea?

    i think adding the glitter to the wet concrete mold would work. Also, you could use a pigment color for the concrete right in the mIxture.

    If im understanding right; add pigment to mixing, then sprinkle glitter around after you make your chair mold (Wet). Then seal it with a concrete /masonry sealer.

    I’m really curious to see your creation for sure. I hope you share your idea!

    Have fun!

    There is concrete paint with glitter in it, several different colors . It's very toxic, but a well ventilated area will avoid breathing it, and also wear a mask. This can be done with a roller on a broom handle.

    There are also spray paint products that have the glitter already in them. You might want to give that a try, and if there is not enough glitter in them for what you want, add the glitter into the paint while it is still wet. Just be sure to put a protective finish over it or you will lose your glitter. Be sure to share pictures of what you do, I would love to see it!
