Want a little sparkle to decorate or fest up an old vase? Use this tutorial to make a glitter vase and Styrofoam glitter ball.

Vase or mason jar (any size)
Mod podge
Glitter
Paint brush
Spray adhesive* (optional)

Step One: Paint a light, even coat of your mod podge around the vase.

Step Two: Over a paper plate, sprinkle your glitter over the mod podged section of your vase. Spray your adhesive all over the glitter.

Step Three: Let dry. (I keep them overnight.) Then put some pretty flowers in your vase.

Styrofoam Tutorial

You will need:

Styrofoam balls
Glitter
Spray adhesive
Mod Podge

To make:
Cover Styrofoam balls with spray adhesive & Mod Podge the styrofoam ball over a plate.

After the glue is on, sprinkle on the sparkly glitter! Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have covered the entire ball with glitter to your taste. I needed two coats of glitter to get a nice good coat on mine!

If you like, you can give these a clear coat spray of polyurethane, although I don't know how well polyurethane will really do in keeping all of the glitter on there. Three coats of mod podge will work just as well too!

    This is such a fantastic and easy tutorial for adding a touch of sparkle! I love how clearly you've explained the steps for both the glitter vase and the Styrofoam balls, especially the tips about multiple coats of Mod Podge. It makes decorating so accessible. These would look amazing as part of a retro-themed display, perhaps with some pixel art prints you could even create by turning photos into art using Photo to Pixel Art! Thanks for sharing!
