What can you make with glitter? Basically anything that comes to mind. When crafting with glitter, you can use any decorations and objects and give them a special look with glitter powder. Above you can see simple plastic boxes that look much more attractive with a little glitter.
Magnets are a practical thing, but they are often visually nothing special. You can change that with a little glitter.

The best way to make these decorations is with artificial leaves. You can spray them with any spray paint you like in advance. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle some glitter over the leaves. Another is to let the paint dry, spray the leaves with spray adhesive, and sprinkle glitter over them.
Design autumn leaves
Real leaves can also be designed. This is how you get an interesting autumn decoration. Using a brush, spread glue over the surface of the sheet. Then sprinkle glitter over it again.

Glitter doesn't necessarily have to be on the outside. With transparent containers like this bottle, it also looks very pretty on the inside. To craft with glitter, add some glue inside and spread it by turning the bottle until everything is well covered. If necessary, add more glue. Pour out the excess. Make a paper funnel and shake the glitter into it. Seal the opening and shake until all interior walls are covered. Again, remove the excess.
The glass stones are given some glue on the underside and then dipped in glitter. This craft idea is ready! Use glitter of any shape and color. This is then visible through the glass block. Finally, you can stick a magnet to the bottom and make your magnetic wall prettier with this decoration.
You can create glittery decorations even easier by simply using glittery adhesive strips and sticking them onto the chosen object. In this way you can create different patterns and, for example, make interesting lanterns. You can also redesign the tea light with these strips.
Patterns can also be created using simple adhesive tape. It is best to use paper tape as it sticks better to smooth surfaces. Tape off any areas you don't want to add glitter. Spray the item with spray adhesive and sprinkle with glitter. If you want the glitter to be more dense, dip the object directly into the glitter.
Create particularly interesting furniture with it. In this way you can give old and unsightly furniture a perfect new look. This idea is particularly easy to implement on a table or other flat surface. Use wood varnish instead of glue. Coat the table top, being careful not to miss any spots.
The polish should be covered with the glitter while it is still wet. So work quickly. For a colorful look, pick up all the glitter containers and start spreading the glitter on the plate. If you are happy with the amount, press the glitter into the polish with your fingers and let the polish set. Fix everything again repeat. Finally, seal everything with a final layer of varnish.
The golden pine cones were designed not only with glitter but also with gold leaf. Spray the cones with a gold or pink paint spray. Then quickly sprinkle them with glitter of the same color. The gold leaf is placed over the cones and pressed down with a dry sponge, removing the excess gold leaf at the same time.
You can even make Christmas tree decorations yourself. Use any shapes and glitter in a color that matches the rest of the Christmas tree decorations. Since the jewelry is not constantly touched, a protective layer is unnecessary, but can still be applied. This idea is great for giving as a gift.
To create such a canvas, you need acrylic paint to create the stripes. First paint the canvas white and let the paint dry. Then tape off the surface so you can paint the black stripes straight. Draw any motif in pencil. Coat this with glue and sprinkle glitter over it. It is important that the paint has dried well so that no glitter sticks to the stripes.
You can make cones yourself out of paper or you can simply use ready-made products for this idea. Again, spray the cone with spray adhesive to allow the glitter to stick. You can then decorate the decoration with other elements. Snowflakes were used here and were attached to the top of the cone with a hot glue gun.
If you have planned a party for New Year's Eve, add a lot of glitter when designing the decorations. A possible variant are such champagne glasses. Spread some glue where you want the glitter. You can also design the base of the glass. Spread the chosen glitter on the wet glue.
