Instructions

  • Cover your work surface with newspaper or similar. Using a paint brush, apply a layer of Mod Podge to the outside portion of the phone case (including the sides).

  • Immediately pour glitter over the glued area and set down for 2 minutes. Then tip over the case and allow excess glitter to fall back onto the parchment.

  • Repeat! Add glue, then glitter, then allow to sit for 2 minutes. This ensures the glitter entirely covers the case.
  • Tap off excess glitter and check for bald areas. Repeat the process of adding Mod Podge and glitter; just make sure to add a thin layer of Mod Podge to fill in the bald areas so that you don't cause clumping or unevenness.
  • Once you’re satisfied with the case’s appearance and the previous layers of glue have dried, brush one last layer of Mod Podge over the glitter and set aside to dry completely.

Notes

I find that fine glitter works best for this project.
If your phone case is tacky after drying, use a high gloss clear acrylic spray to further seal the case and remove the tackiness.
