How To Add Glitter To A Wine Glass - Mod Podge & Epoxy

In this tutorial we do the mod podge and epoxy seal version of the glitter wine glass.
Of the two ways we did this, we found we preferred the mod podge and epoxy method better than the full epoxy method.
Which way do you prefer?

Thank you for showing the use of using water to make a straight line. Worked perfect. Also use of electrical tape vs blue tape. What a difference. You really helped me.

How do you sit it to dry? I notice when I use epoxy it drips and gathers at the bottom.

I am new to this I have been trying to do mason jars but I used modge podge and epoxy does it suppose to be sticky while drying it’s been drying for two day now and still is stick I don’t know if I did some wrong are not

[@ErinEnsley]

That usually means you didn’t mix your epoxy correctly. It should only take 12-24 hours for it to set and harden. Be sure to read the directions and mix according to the epoxy you purchased. Most are equal parts of A and B. They have to be near exact parts and mixed for a full 3 mins to work. Some are a 2:1 ratio.

Thank you for your help.... I can't wait to get started...... I may be asking you questions

[@blademccreedy7511]

is there a reason that you leave the top part without any glitter on it is that help make the epoxy seal better or is it just a personal preference because I made a glass that I already have glitter on with the mod podge but I went all the way up to the rim with it and I'm trying to figure out if I can still epoxy over that or not

[@Michelle-ji1bu]

Some people leave room at the top of the glass So you can drink from the glass and not have to use epoxy

[@lindawallace9307]

Hi there great job just want to know if I’m only applying modge podge and glitter to stem of wine glass can I just put second coat of modgepodge and it will be fine or should I add epoxy coat nothing on top of glass except decal

[@ErinEnsley]

You have to seal the modpodge with epoxy. Only sealing it with modpodge will eventually have the glitter fall off. It also dulls the glitter. Adding the epoxy brings back its shine.

[@whitneyy42]

@@ErinEnsley I was looking for this answer throughout the comments. Also you mixed epoxy with that ?

[@chantelestep882]

Can you tell me what kind of epoxy clear coat you are using? I'm new to doing this, and am not sure what to purchase!

[@crsmorgo]

How many times do you do the expoy and if you do a second coat do you do it when its takcy or hard

[@ErinEnsley]

I normally do two coats. You want the epoxy to be completely dry before adding another coat.

[@MsBaby318]

What did you mix with the epxoy

[@michelehilliard5620]

Can you use a blade knife to go around between the tape and glitter before you take the tape off? Would that work?

[@marilynegrete1416]

Hi thanks for the video . Did u use heat transfer vynil ? Or what kind is it good for glass?

[@ErinEnsley]

If using epoxy you can only use regular vinyl like 631 or 651. Heat transfer would not work.

[@heidymartinez4991]

Hi thank for the tutorial very helpful question how many layers of epoxy are you suppose to put on the wine glass?

[@hopethecreativeone]

Very nice. I'm new to resin and even newer to resin on glasses. I like this method of the glue and glitter first then the epoxy but my question is this: Do you still have to flip it even with a ultra thin layer of epoxy? Thanks and Blessings.

[@ErinEnsley]

Yes, you will still need to flip it even if you do super thin layers. Epoxy likes to move and if you keep it in one spot it will clump up and dry like that and leave a dimple or bump. You may not have to rotate it as often, but make sure you keep an eye on it and rotate as needed.

Great video thanks for sharing. I don't have a cricut machine so I was wondering is there anyway to add like stickers or photos? And if so how can we go about it?

TU for this video using both methods. I am about to do my first glass cup. I would like to use Mod Podge only. Can you share your thoughts on this? TIA❤

[@ErinEnsley]

If the glass is going to be used for drinking you will need to seal it with epoxy as your finishing coat. Epoxy is the only thing that is FDA compliant. Modpodge is fine for applying the glitter but it can’t be your final coat if you plan on drinking from it.

So you didn’t need to put it on a turner for the epoxy to dry?

[@WonderfulWorldOfWendy]

Jasmine Dixon same question 😃

[@ErinEnsley]

No. I kept flipping it. This glass would not fit on my turner. There is no epoxy on the bottom of the glass so when I flip it tonstnad correct there is no epoxy. The epoxy from the top flows to the bottom and then flip again.

[@jazzie4219]

Erin Ensley oh ok thank you

[@jerseydo816]

It's better to put it on a turner. You'll end up with uneven spots on your glass.

[@ErinEnsley]

Personal preference. I have not had any issues with it being uneven. The epoxy still flows the same. I’ve been working with epoxy for years.

Can I wash this cup

[@ErinEnsley]

Hand wash only

[@deemartinez133]

Can we use spray adhesive to seal the glitter or does it recommend epoxy

[@ErinEnsley]

dee martinez the only thing that is FDA compliant is epoxy. So if someone is drinking from it, it has to be epoxy.

Do you think its better to use painters tape vs electric tape? I had the Same issue with removing electrical tape but found it was a little better removing when it was completely dry

I feel like it comes down to personal preference. For me, when I used the painters tape I had a lot of edges to fix and clean up. So I tried the electric tape and had almost no issues with it.

I’m finding that once I put my glitter on (I use polycyclic) it looks fine. But when I do a second coat of polycyclic the glitter looses some of its shine. What am I doing wrong?

Btw good idea with the tape I’m going to use that idea

I’ve never used polycyclic so I couldn’t say. Epoxy does give a smooth finish without the glitter loosing its shine.

You can purchase epoxy at any craft store, Amazon or EBay. You will still need tro hand wash them. The dishwasher is too hot. Epoxy is the best to use if you are giving glasses to people to use to drink from. It’s the only thing that is FDA compliant.

SO do you not have to use a turner for this? I always thought you had to turn the glass while it had epoxy on it.

Thanks for asking. This glass would not sit on my turner. Because I am not applying epoxy in the rim or the bottom/underneath of the stem then I’m able flip the cup to allow the epoxy to flow and dry.

Erin Ensley so flip so it is sitting on the stem? (Upright)?

[@jesseden4077]

Do you have to use the epoxy sealant or is this optional

What’s the difference and I just use mod podge And no epoxy? And if I use epoxy it won’t run?

[@ErinEnsley]

You have to use epoxy to finish it. If you don't, nothing will seal in the glitter. Epoxy, once cured, is the only thing that is FDA compliant. If you do just epoxy then you don't have as much control over the glitter like you do when you do the method of modpodge and epoxy.

[@specialk8927]

Can you use something else besides epoxy? Like trible thick

[@ErinEnsley]

The only thing that is food grade and FDA compliant is epoxy.

[@mahaylaseales7766]

Can you wash these or do you have to wash by hand?

[@ErinEnsley]

Hand wash only. Dishwashers are too hot for epoxy.

[@lesliemarshall557]

Can you use the mod podge instead of the epoxy to seal the glitter. I bought the silver circle glitter also

[@ErinEnsley]

Modpodge fills the shine of the glitter, the epoxy brings back the shine. Also, epoxy is the only thing FDA compliant so if you are using it for drink ware it is best to only use epoxy.

[@shawnclay6600]

How long do you leave the tape on after the first epoxy application? Awesome video!

It will depend on how much epoxy you use and the tempature of the room you are working in. Best way to tell you is when the epoxy is still wet/tacky but not moving anymore.
