German Glitter Glass Anchors

Glitter Glass AnchorsEver since I was little I LOVED sparkle.  My mom and I used to go antiquing and I could spend hours looking at the paste jewelry and the chandelier crystals.

Tastes change as you grow up.

BUT my love for sparkle is still intact.

Adding shimmer to Christmas decorations is one of my favorite things to do.  Our tree is filled with German Glitter Glass stars I made a few years back.

I knew the German Glitter Glass was coming back out when I spotted these anchors.

What?!?

They were just asking to have a little glimmer added to their life.

I love working with Meyer’s German Glitter Glass.  It’s made with real flecks of glass shards and sparkles like you wouldn’t believe.  I also love my friend Matthew’s metallic line over at Fusion Mineral Paint.

German Glitter GlassFirst you want to paint your anchors and allow them to dry. I like to put wax paper down to protect my counter. Sorry for the darker lighting, it was a gray day in my kitchen.

Apply Metallic Paint in Silver

Once dry, paint on Elmer’s glue:

Brush on School Glue

While still tacky, place your anchor in a glass container and spoon on the glitter glass. Then you want to lightly tap with your hand to remove the excess (as you would when glittering paper or smaller child’s craft).

Coat in Glitter Glass

Place back on the the wax paper and move onto the next anchor.

It is that easy to add lots of sparkle and shine to your christmas decor!

Glitter Glass Anchor Perfect for Gifts or on Stockings

I’m loving how these anchors look on our stockings this year.  The perfect coastal touch.
