Glittered cards, boxes & ornaments




These are various glitter projects I made. Below is a glittered greeting card. I took a premade card from the store and used a small brush and painted on white craft glue (Elmer's because it dries clear) and added microfine glitter. You can do this with any store bought card to make it more intense looking.

And then I glittered some small boxes and added ribbon. They look so pretty and if you are giving jewelry or knitted scarves you can decorate the box to match the contents.

The last item are ornaments (top). On one of them I used vintage glass glitter that I bought from ArtGlitter.com, the other one I wrote on it with glue using a skinny metal tip and then sprinkled the glitter over it. I'm seriously on a glitter bender right now. I would glitter our 4Runner if my family would let me!
