Mod Podge + Glitter = Win

As I mentioned before, I'm a glitter girl.  I like to sparkle up anything that sits still long enough.  But I can't stand glitter that sheds and migrates.  Applying glitter in the classic way (put down glue, sprinkle glitter, let dry) results in glitter EVERYWHERE.

It was a life-changing moment for me when I learned how to apply glitter that won't flake off.  All you do is mix your glitter into Mod Podge (affiliate link) and then paint it onto your object.  First of all, it's much less messy to apply, and you don't end up with a bunch of loose glitter to get back into your container.  Then, once it's dry, you've got gorgeous glitter that won't budge.  Just apply as many coats as you like, allowing them to dry in between.  I also like to apply one more coat of just Mod Podge at the end to give a nice smooth appearance.
