Meg: DIY Glitter Cup

Posted by Fitnessista on

There are few things in the world prettier than glitter. My coworker came to work one day with one of those Starbucks cups (the double walled kind), and it was a sparkly purple. I was so smitten, I had to try it myself and share it with you all!

Cup1

What you’ll need:

Cup2

-A double-walled cup (try the cups that are meant to display photos!)

-Spray adhesive

-Fine glitter.

Cup3

The coolest thing about this DIY is that you can sparkle just about anything! Decorative jars, vases, you name it.

First you’ll need to remove the part you drink from.  For your safety, please don’t use spray adhesive in the part you drink from :) Spray the area to be glittered, and pour in your glitter! You may need to work quickly so the adhesive doesn’t dry before you add glitter.

Cup4

Cup5

Cup6

Shake out the excess glitter.

Cup7

I did another layer of adhesive and glitter. This is optional, of course.

Cup8

Re-assemble your cup, and enjoy it’s sparkly beauty!

Cup9

Cup10

TADAA!

 Are you a glitter lover, too?

    They sell glitter cardstock. I think a much easier way to do this would be to cut a piece of that and slide it in.

      The outside shell screws off, so you’d wash the interior piece separately than the outer shell :)

    LOVE glitter! You can also take Mod Podge and mix it with glitter and glitter-ize anything to your heart’s content : )

      The two pieces can be separated, so I wash the outside carefully and wash the inside separately.

    I would LOVE to do this, would make great gifts if I could find a double walled tumbler! All the picture ones I would have to do the glitter paper.. And that just isn’t sparkly enough for us glitter lovers!!
