Supplies You’ll Need
How to Make Glitter-Dipped Wine Glasses
Step 1: Clean the Glasses
Wash and dry the wine glasses thoroughly. Make sure there’s no dust, oil, or fingerprints on the glass before starting.
Step 2: Tape Off Your Design
If you want clean glitter lines, use painter’s tape to mark where you want the glitter to stop. You can glitter the base, stem, or even create ombré effects.
Step 3: Apply Mod Podge
Using a foam brush, apply a thin, even coat of Mod Podge to the area you want covered in glitter.
Step 4: Add Glitter
Sprinkle glitter generously over the Mod Podge while it’s still wet. Rotate the glass to fully coat the surface.
Step 5: Let Dry
Allow the glitter to dry completely before lightly tapping off excess glitter.
Step 6: Seal the Glitter
Spray the glittered area with a clear acrylic sealer to help prevent glitter fallout and protect your design.
Step 7: Cure Before Using
Let the glasses fully dry and cure before using or gifting them.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use fine glitter for smoother coverage
- Apply thin layers of Mod Podge
- Work over paper for easy cleanup
- Use multiple light coats of sealer instead of one heavy coat
- Hand wash only to protect the glitter
