 Hey guys it's Jen from iCreate Crafts. In today's tutorial I'm going to show you how to create these cute little glitter shot glasses. They were so simple to make and everything I used I purchased from the dollar store. I can't wait to show you how to create these cute glasses so let's get started. Okay guys I wish I had to make these glitter shot glasses and I'm really excited because everything that I purchased was from the dollar store. I found my dollar store has this glitter now so I purchased every color that they had which unfortunately there's only four but I was really excited to see that. So you're going to need glitter, a dry erase marker, some electrical tape, sponge brushes, some Mod Podge paper plate, some paper towel to clean up and then obviously your glasses. So here they are there's three of these. These are actually called dessert glasses but they're just like shot glasses so I purchased a few of these so to get started oh one more thing you need some alcohol. You want to rub your glasses before you even start so move everything aside really quick and just start on my glasses. Like I said the first thing very important is to clean your glasses first. I'm just going to take some alcohol put it on a paper towel and then just clean the outside of it. You want to get any debris or finger marks or anything that might be on here and then you just let them sit and let them dry. So while it's drying I will show you the next part that you have to do. Okay so the next part you want to do is get your paper plate ready and then you want to figure out what colored glitter you're going to use. I like this blue one actually so instead of just taking the cover off and sprinkling on I'm just going to take the whole cover off which makes it so much easier. Look at how pretty that is and they're pretty. So then you want to take a piece of your electrical tape and just take a small piece of it off. You can use your fingers you can use the scissors I just pull it like that. Set that aside and then you want to take your shot glass and you want to make sure it's dry. I'm just taking another piece of paper towel and I'm actually going to use this. You need something to measure to go around the edges where you want your glitter to stop. So I tried it already and this actually came out perfect this size here so I'm just going to put this down put it the shot glass down next to it. Take my dry erase marker and then I'm just going to hold my dry erase marker just like this nice and flat and put it next to my cup my glass and just go around in a circle and then that will give you a really straight line that you can put your tape around. So I'm just going to finish these really quick do the same thing flip it upside down and you can use whatever size you want. I just figured that this tape was the perfect size the perfect height for what I'm looking for so I'm just going to do all three really quick and then you just want to take your tape that you had and this is where the fun part kind of comes in you just want to take your tape and this is where the marker part comes in so now you can see where your line is so you can go straight on here so I'm just going right above my blue line and if you need to pick it up you can just pick it up I like to pick it up and pull it kind of give it a little bit of a stretch so I'm just picking it up and pulling it really tight and then laying it down on the next part and unfortunately I did not make my piece long enough shoot but I'm just going to pull this piece up and pull it really tight to get it around the corner part here and unfortunately I didn't make it long enough so I'm going to pull off another little piece and make sure my next piece is even longer I'm always honest with you guys so if I make a mistake you're here with me so I'm just going to take it and put it on where I just was and then just go up with these so that I can pull it off easier so here it is so you see you have this marker here you definitely do not want that so you're just going to take your paper towel and rub that off and if you have any underneath where your tape was that's okay you can get that when you're all finished so this part is done I'm going to do the same thing with these two other ones really quick and I'll fast forward this so you don't have to watch this part but I'm just going to make sure I cut off a larger piece of this tape and then just do the same process but I'll fast forward this so you don't have to watch this all right so the next part is you want to take your mod podge I'm going to give it a quick shake really quick and put some on a plate and then use your sponge brushes I love these they're like the perfect size for this and they're disposable so you can just throw it out so you get um was it six of them for a dollar so you just want to take your brush put a little bit of the mod podge on and then basically just go on it and pull down and I'm not going to try to get it on the bottom here so I'm just going to be kind of careful just pulling it down and not going over the edge part because wherever this goes is where your glitter is going to stick so I'm focusing a lot on the top here right where the tape is so I make sure that I get all that spot but you're going to do two or three layers so if you do miss a spot on here don't panic because you're going to go over it a few more times anyway so basically all I'm doing just getting the glue or the mod podge everywhere and then once you get it everywhere you want to make sure you have nice thin straight lines you don't want like a bunch in one spot and then if you have any in the bottom you can just take your finger and kind of rub it if you don't want it on the bottom otherwise people do put it on the bottom I choose not to so I'm going to take another plate and then use my glitter so I'm just going to take it and sprinkle my glitter over the top of this and then kind of shake it as I go and just keep turning and you're not wasting your glitter because it's going right on your plate so it's just going to go right back into the container after you're finished so I just kind of tap it each time after I'm done and that's basically it so if you have any spots in here that you can see through or that are kind of not as filled that's okay because once this dries you're going to go over it with the mod podge again and finish it up about two or three more times and then to finish it you just do one more layer of mod podge so I'll show you the whole process but I've learned over the times of doing this with glasses is the best time to take off your tape is actually right now before your mod podge dries I know it sounds silly because you want to keep that line but if you keep it on and that mod podge dries you're going to have a very uneven edge here I've tried it so I know so unfortunately it makes a little bit harder for the next step but it's the best way to do it so I'm just being very careful I'm not taking anything and I'm just going to peel it off slowly and these little buggers are harder to work with because they're so small I'm used to using big glasses but here I'll show you get a nice straight edge so here it is nice beautiful straight edge if that's showing up and then also nothing on the bottom too like I said you can fill the bottom up but I just choose not to and if you have any spots that are kind of messed up or if you have some mod podge on you can just wipe it off with your finger but it's going to dry anyway before the next step so I'm just going to set this one aside I'm actually going to flip it upside down and I'm going to do the same thing so I'm going to put my glitter back into my containers for my next one so you just fold it up which this plate doesn't want to fold up very easily and then you just put it right back in into your container so you're not wasting anything and I'm just going to use the same color in the next one so I'm just going to do the same exact thing just take my mod podge in my brush and just work it all the way again and I'm really focusing on the top edge up here because I want to make sure that's a nice clean edge and I'm just pulling it all the way down and I'm not globbing it in one spot I'm just taking it and nicely going over it so I'm not getting too much into one spot just kind of putting it all over I'm sorry I sound kind of sick I don't know if I'm catching something or just the morning but sorry about that so I'm just taking it and pulling it down and this is so simple you can do this at anything I've done like makeup jars for my daughters with dollar store just little cups and I've done glitter cups for like holidays like valentines or no for let's see Halloween I did like the the hidden ones the peek-a-boo ones where you put your vinyl on the side here and then you do the mod podge so when you drink it you see it in the inside but it's like peek-a-boo because you don't see it on the outside which is pretty cool I'll leave the link below in case you're interested in that but I just did a few of those I did some for Christmas I did some for Halloween and they turn out really cute so it's just like the peek-a-boo ones so I'm just doing the same thing just rubbing it all the way down making sure I don't get it in the bottom and then I'm just going to take my blue again because I like this and then just sprinkle it over it and then just kind of tap it and turn it as you go I know sometimes people have the urge of going on right now and fixing it if you have a hole or something but I highly recommend not doing that because like I said you're going to do this two or three more times you're going to fill in that space so this was a nice even coverage I don't see anything on the bottom here so I'm not worried about it and again I'm just going to take my tape find the edge of it which I like to throw it on the inside so I know where it is and then slowly peel off the tape and then you get this nice crisp edge so just like that so if you I have a little Mod Podge sitting right here I'm just going to use my finger and just move it for now or you could take like a a q-tip and kind of go around but you want a nice even edge which this is really nice and I love this color is so pretty and again I didn't do the bottom so I'm going to finish these up I'm going to finish this one up I'm going to keep going and I'm going to do some more colors I have like this pinkish color here I have this gold color and then I also have a purple so I'm going to keep going and do some more you could do the peek-a-boo like I said which you can go back and watch one of my videos showing you how to do it but basically if you want to use vinyl you can put it on right now before you put the glitter on and then when you drink it you can see it so that's why they call it peek-a-boo which is kind of cool so I'm going to finish these up really quick I'm going to let them all dry which takes about a half an hour for the Mod Podge to dry and then I'll show you the next step all right guys I went a little crazy and I kind of did some more but I figured if I'm going to get the glitter out and get all messy right now I might as well do some more so I did some red ones I did these blue ones over here I did the silver ones so I kind of went all crazy and did a whole bunch of colors I'm going to try to sell these at the local store I'll let you know how that goes I'm not actually really sure how much I should do these for so I'm going to actually look on Etsy and kind of see get a feel for what other people are selling them for it's kind of what I do if I don't know a price of something I know people do like two times the material times two times the time you work on it but I don't really know if this isn't really taking very long it's just more of a long process I guess of letting the things dry and then you just get glitter everywhere so I'm going to start out with the dollar store ones that I got here so I'm going to start out with one of these pink ones so if you touch it you shouldn't have any of the Mod Podge come off so none of this glitter came off so as you see I already took the tape off and it has a really nice clear line so the next part you're going to want to do and it depends how many layers you want to do I might only do two layers on here but it depends on how dark your glitter shows up I guess so I'm just taking the same paint brush or the same brush that I had before and then this is the really part where you have to like concentrate and kind of take your time so I'm just taking the Mod Podge and I have a little bit more on it and I'm going to the top of the edge here and again the tape would have been nice to have on here but if I would have left it on it would have pulled up all the glitter that I had and it wouldn't look so nice so now I have a nice clean edge so now I'm just doing the same thing as I did before but I'm hardly putting any pressure on it now I'm just kind of letting it glide because I don't want to pull up the glitter that I have on here ready so I'm just going to dab this and put more on so I put a whole bunch of Mod Podge on here now but you still want to take it where you don't have globs of it in some places and not so much in the other so take your time with this I'm just slowly going up to the top as far as I can and then I'm pulling it down and I'm doing it softly so I don't pull the glitter off you're going to get a little bit of glitter off which is okay but you don't want to pull it all off so I'm just going to do all this for all the way around doing the same thing just pulling it down and this is where it comes in where I don't know if you can see it well but I have some kind of showing through on the bottom here so this is the part where you can fill in if you missed any spots but you don't want any globs of it on because if you have globs of it then it's going to be globs of glitter so you want to make sure that you have the equal amount all the way around and you do want to work kind of quickly with this because this Mod Podge will dry on you before you even get a chance to put the glitter on so I'm kind of working quickly but then kind of taking my time if that makes sense and just working my way around and putting more Mod Podge on just like that and just pulling everywhere and then you just want to go through and make sure you have everywhere because if this is your only if you only want to put two coats on I wouldn't even waste your time putting another coat on but you want to make sure that you get it so if you see there's a glob right here I'm just taking the brush and pulling it down so I don't have that big spot there because I don't want a lot of glitter to be in one spot so there so now it's all the way around I'm going to clear my fingers make sure I don't have any Mod Podge on them and then you can see and I still did not do the bottom again it's your choice if you want to do the bottom but I'm not so I went as close as I could to the top up here does not have to be perfect but you just want to be able to fill in everywhere so I'm going to take the same glitter that I had before and I'm just going to do the same process just sprinkle it on and I think that these two layers will be just enough but again I'm going to let it dry and see what it looks like it might need three but I'm thinking that two two layers will be just fine but I'll show you what it looks like when I'm finished so you want to cover all the Mod Podge all the white so I'm just tapping it to make sure the extra is coming off and if you have extras at the top here like this right here you just want to take like a cotton ball or a q-tip and wipe it I don't have one so I'm going to use my finger right now to show you it comes right off because you did not put any Mod Podge there so it's always easier if you just take like a q-tip or something and go around the top but that will come off and the same with the bottom again there's nothing there but I'm going to let this sit again this is just more of a long process that's why I did all of these instead of just a few of them I'm going to finish this step with every one of these and then I'm going to come back and see if there's any holes or any missing spots I'll do another layer but if there's not the last thing to do is just do the same thing what I just did and just put Mod Podge on it and that seals it like glue so I know some people use the dishwasher safe Mod Podge and then they throw it in the dishwasher but I don't do that I just tell people if I make these I make little handmade stickers for it that go in the inside of it saying how to wash it don't hand wash it don't so I mean hand wash it don't soak it don't put it in the dishwasher just so people know so when they take it home from when they purchased it from they remember oh yeah I'm not supposed to put in the dishwasher so there is dishwasher stuff out there but I just choose not to do it so again I'm going to skip this part for you guys I'm going to go ahead and finish all of these up I'll I think I have like 20 of them or so here I'm going to finish them up let them dry and then I'll show you the next step like I said it's just putting more Mod Podge on and then that's it all right guys I am all finished with the second coat I think that's all it needs is just the two coats I'm finished with every one of these they turn out really amazing I love the colors I love the coats on them they're nice and thick so the dollar store stuff really did work out really well so the last part to do is you can do this as optional I just took my dry clean paint brush your foam brush and I went around the edges and got all of the extra glitter off of them it's just an extra step if you want to do it now or if you want to do it later you can always do it with just the brush or like I said before you can use like a q-tip or something and kind of grow on the edges but I just do that to make it look nice and clean and the last step to this to do is basically what you've been doing is just take a clean foam brush and some and a clean paper plate with some new Mod Podge and you basically want to seal it so what I'm doing is just lightly this time I'm doing it lightly taking it and doing just the same thing going on it as close up to the top as I can and then I'm just pulling it down so I'm just putting just a little bit on and I'm not pulling any of the glitter off and instead of putting more glitter on this time this time is just sealing it so I'm not doing anything else after I do this I'm just doing one last coat this is going to be really light and it's going to it looks white now but when it dries it'll be completely clear and then you'll be able to touch the glasses and none of the glitter will come off so please don't miss misdoing this step like I said before if you have like the dishwasher Mod Podge you can throw in the dishwasher but still then I don't think I would do that I think I would still just tell people hey hand wash this and don't soak it in anything but again this Mod Podge will dry clear and it's just like glue so it's going to hold all of the glitter in so nothing will come off once you take it you drink off of it none of it will come off but still you got to be careful and finish this step so I'm almost finished I just want to show you what it looks like when it's all done and then like I said once it's done it'll dry and it'll be completely clear and you'll just see the glitter behind it and then nothing else will come up but you want to make sure you get everywhere so you want to see that white over everything so that none of your glitter will come off so just like that oh my gosh I'm gonna love it these little guys they're so cute um I'm looking at this one and I'm thinking you can even do this like on a flower vase that would be really pretty like I'm see looking at this trying to figure on a bigger scale um I'm not a drinker so I won't be keeping any of these but I thought they'd be kind of cute to sell at the store up the street so I'll let you guys know how it goes but this is how it looks when it's all done and then when it's finished again it'll just look like this you will not see the white on it it'll dry clear and you want to make sure that you don't have any of these streaky lines so if you do just kind of go over it and rub it again but just like that but I hope you guys like this tutorial I hope you go out and try your own you don't have to do just these the possibilities are endless you can do it on other cups you can do it on mugs you can do it on whatever you want but it was so much fun everything used here was from the dollar store so I was really happy by that um I will tell you to do all of these cups that I have here probably have about 20 cups I went through one whole bottle of this but again that was a dollar for this bottle and I used this is my second sponge brush I used um or foam brush rather sorry I used two of these this one and then the other one I threw the other one out because it was full of the colors of the different colors of sprinkles I was using the glitter so um but other than that it was you know let's see three dollars for you know it was a dollar for three of these and then a dollar for the bottle of Mod Podge and then a dollar for six foam brushes so it was about you know two dollars for not even two dollars for the whole thing because I went through a whole bottle of Mod Podge for 20 cups and then I also have you know four foam brushes left so I'm still trying to figure out how to price these I'm not really sure how to do it but I really love how they turn out if that was enough if you guys like this tutorial and hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and leave a comment below if you've made these before what have you guys made with glitter like I said I did ones for Halloween where you had the inside it was the peekaboo ones where you saw the the vinyl on the inside but for these ones I'm not going to do vinyl I might do another tutorial where I go down further and then I can put vinyl on it but this is for now I love how this turned out and it's going to be completely able to wash these and use them whenever so give me a thumbs up hit that subscribe button if you haven't already and happy crafting everyone I did go a step further I spray painted these containers they came in I gave them three light coats each I think this just makes them look a little bit better and more complete I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial and happy crafting
