How to Apply Glitter to Wood

Applying glitter to wood is a great way to add some sparkle and shine to your DIY projects. Here are the steps you can follow to apply glitter to wood:

Materials: - Wood surface to apply glitter - Sandpaper - Paintbrush or foam brush - Glue (Mod Podge or white glue works well) - Glitter - Sealant (optional)

Steps:

1. Prepare the wood surface: Sand the wood surface with sandpaper to make it smooth and clean. You can wipe off any dust with a damp cloth.

2. Apply glue: Apply glue to the surface of the wood with a paintbrush or foam brush. Be sure to apply a thick and even layer of glue.

3. Sprinkle glitter: While the glue is still wet, sprinkle glitter over the glue. You can use a spoon or shaker to apply the glitter evenly. Make sure to cover the entire area that you want to glitter.

4. Shake off excess glitter: Gently shake off the excess glitter from the wood surface, and let it dry completely. You can also tap the wood surface to remove any excess glitter.

5. Repeat the process: If you want a more intense glitter effect, you can repeat steps 2-4 and apply another layer of glue and glitter.

6. Seal the glitter (optional): If you want to protect the glitter and prevent it from flaking off, you can apply a sealant over the glitter once it's dry. You can use a clear spray sealant or brush-on sealant.

And there you have it! Your glittery wood project is complete.
