12 Days of Christmas Ideas 2014 – Day 4
This year I am loving the glitter and bling for my Christmas Décor. So I guess that is why I have fallen in love with these DIY glitter vases. They are so simple yet beautifully bring the sparkle and shine to any room or table setting.
Here is what you need to make one of your own:
- A glass vase
- PVA glue
- Paint brush
- Glitter
- Polyurethane varnish spray
Begin by painting the sides of the vase with PVA. Make sure you have good even coverage, particularly on any corners, but not so much that it will run or drip. Sprinkle the glitter all over and then shake off the excess. Set aside to dry overnight. Once it’s dry, dust off any loose glitter before repeating this process a second time. When the second coat has dried, again dust off any loose glitter then spray with the polyurethane varnish to seal it. If you find that the vase is still shedding glitter after it has dried you may need to apply a second coat of varnish.
Now you are ready to enjoy this stunning glitter vase whether it’s as part of your Christmas décor or as a gift for a friend.
