Tutorials: DIY Glittery Centerpieces

I hope everyone had a great fourth of July weekend! I can relate to how difficult it can be to get back into the swing of things. It seems like I have had writers block for the last couple of days, but no worries, I'm back!

I am going to cover more DIY projects for your wedding reception. Today, I will give you a tutorial on a centerpiece I helped my friend Ann with. I will also list the supplies needed to accomplish the project. If you click on the supplies, it will lead you to a site where you can purchase them online, if you so choose to.

Supplies: 

- Candles/Candlesticks

- Glitter

- Pan

- Masking Tape

- Spray Adhesive

         or

- *Mod Podge*

- *Paint Brush*

Step 1: Find a designated working area.

...If possible, try to do the project outside or in a well ventilated area. Fumes will be strong but don't have a ceiling fan! Glitter will go everywhere.

Step 2: Taping the Top

... Only half an inch away from the top and bottom if you so choose to. This will give a polished look in the end.  

Step 3: Getting Sticky

...Spray Adhesive Users- Generously spray the candle/candlestick while avoiding to touch any wet areas. 

...Mod Podge Users- Dip the paint brush into some mod podge and brush a thin layer onto the candle/candlestick.

Step 4: The Fun Part

...After applying your choice of adhesive, immediately begin to cover in glitter. Hold the wet candle/candlestick above a pan and sprinkle the glitter, making sure to cover the entire area. Then set aside to dry.

Let me know how yours turned out or other ways you found made the project easier!

Happy planning!

With love,
