DIY glitter candle holders

I had these tea light holders that I got at the dollar store a couple of years ago.  I use them but their kind of boring. So, I decided to glam them up. Any glass receptacle (wine glass, mason jar, jelly jar) would work.  Against my better judgement, I decided this would be fun to do with my teen-aged daughter. But we will get to that later.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_773" align="aligncenter" width="225"]<a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-0022.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-773" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-0022-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 002" width="225" /></a> Dollar Store Glass[/caption]<br/><br/>We all know glitter gets everywhere, so I used a gallon sized ziploc bag and an old cake tin, to put the holders in, and TRY to keep the glitter at bay.<br/><br/>I went to AC Moore and bought "white gold" glitter, which actually just looks plain gold to me, but whatever.  You can use Elmer's glue, but I had a tub of "glittering glue", cuz I'm a geek like that. It comes with a little brush attached to the lid.  Of course you can use any paint brush, or even an old make up brush, if you don't have a cool bottle of glittering glue. I won't judge you.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_774" align="aligncenter" width="225"]<a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-004.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-774" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-004-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 004" width="225" /></a> Glittering Glue[/caption]<br/><br/>Ok, so get your pen and paper because the directions for this project are pretty in depth.<br/><br/>1. Use brush to paint the glue all over the inside of the candle holder.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_775" align="aligncenter" width="300"]<a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-013.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-775" height="225" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-013-300x225.jpg" title="glitter 013" width="300" /></a> Painting with Glue[/caption]<br/><br/>2. Sprinkle the glitter on the glue.<br/><br/><a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-011.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-776" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-011-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 011" width="225" /></a><br/><br/>3. Let dry.<br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_777" align="aligncenter" width="225"]<a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-023.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-777" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-023-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 023" width="225" /></a> Glue and Glittyer Drying[/caption]<br/><br/>4. Make chicken nuggets for 14 year old daughter (glittering requires sustenance).<br/><br/><a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-022.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-778" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-022-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 022" width="225" /></a><br/><br/>Easy and fun!  I guess it took about 4 hours for the glue to dry.<br/><br/>Now, before I end this glittering good time, there are a couple of glittering do's and don'ts.<br/><br/>Well, mostly dont's:<br/><ul><br/> <li><br/><div style="text-align: left;">Don't breathe deeply while sprinkling glitter - it will make you cough for hours.</div></li><br/> <li style="text-align: left;"><br/><div>Similarly, don't breathe deeply while sprinkling glitter- it will make you sneeze<br/>and blow glitter all over the counter.</div></li><br/> <li><br/><div style="text-align: left;"> Don't let your 14 year old daughter help - she will glitter the dog.</div></li><br/></ul><br/> <br/><br/>[caption id="attachment_781" align="aligncenter" width="225"]<a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-0191.jpg"><img alt="" class="size-medium wp-image-781" height="300" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-0191-225x300.jpg" title="glitter 019" width="225" /></a> Dog.[/caption]<br/><br/>But the tea lights look pretty!<br/><br/><a href="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-036.jpg"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-782" height="225" src="http://www.fyimodularhomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/glitter-036-300x225.jpg" title="glitter 036" width="300" /></a>
