Make beautiful glitter glasses with Mod Podge to celebrate New Year’s Eve – or any other celebration. The best part is you can wash these!
Skills Required: Beginner. It helps to have experience with Mod Podge, but not totally required. My advice is to use more thin to medium coats as opposed to a few thick ones.
Hello friends, and Happy New Year! I can’t believe it’s almost a new year, can you? Crazy.
I must say, I love that before we focus on resolutions and get organized, we always kick off the new year with a party. New Year’s Eve is one of my favorite holidays!
I love making party decor for New Years, so I wanted to share a fun glitter glasses tutorial with one of my favorite Mod Podge supplies. You can use this glitter craft for any type of celebration, like a wedding, or a graduation, birthday . . . really whatever you like!
This is the Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe Gloss medium, and it can easily turn your projects into waterproof, dishwasher safe dishes.
If you want to Mod Podge on glass, using Dishwasher Safe with glitter is a great way to do it. Learn how to make the glasses below.
Mod Podge Glitter Glasses
Equipment
Materials
- 2 Wine glasses
- Glitter colors of your choice
- Dishwasher Safe Mod Podge
- Painter’s tape optional
Instructions
- Clean each glass with mild soap and water; dry completely.
- Brush each glass with an even coat of Mod Podge Dishwasher Safe. Optional: use painter’s tape to block off any areas where you don’t want glitter.
- While the glue is still wet, spread an even amount of bling all over the glass. For an ombre look, pour the gold glitter on first, then silver.
- After pouring on the sparkle, allow your glasses at least two hours to dry completely. If your glitter is really thick, wait overnight.
- When the glassware is dry, apply a generous coat of Mod Podge on top of your glitter. Allow to dry completely. Be sure to read the curing instructions on the label to finish.

Notes
If you enjoyed putting glitter on glass, you might also want to try a glitter mug! Learn how to make them here on the blog!
These are so cute! I’ve always painted my glasses but using glitter has never dawned on me! Such a good idea!!
This is so nice! in fact anything with glitter is always nice 😉 Thanks for sharing with us!
I tried to do this with the dishwasher safe modge podge and it has changed the shape of my glasses, they now have flat bits – any idea why this would be?
Hello! I’ve never heard of that. Changed the shape . . . hmmm. Mod Podge is acrylic. It can’t alter glass, generally speaking. What did you use to Mod Podge (paper, glitter, etc) – I’m thinking it would be something in that. OR if the glass is cheap glass and somehow has an additive?
Soooo I made a peekaboo glass, and the glass has a black tint to it, so you can’t see the image peeking through. I put on one coat and it has dried, but I haven’t baked it or anything. Do you think there is any way to remove the glitter from the glasses so I could redo the peek-a-boo?
If it’s glass you could try to razor it off!
HI will I also be able to seal vinyl on cups with this? Also I am thinking of making perspex bookmarks with vinyl, would I be able to seal it with this? or any other suggestions?
Thanks Mariana
Hi Mariana! You should use permanent vinyl on cups, and same with the bookmarks. Mod Podge isn’t recommended to seal vinyl!
Would this work on plastic cups? I was thinking this would be a great activity for my 8 year olds birthday party but don’t love the idea of using glass for them.
It *might* be good enough for a birthday party. I might be inclined to get paper cups for it 🙂 Plastic and Mod Podge sometimes work together, but it would require a test. It’s probably good enough for just a day though.
Do I have to bake the glass in order to speed up the curing time?
