Project 'glitter my bag'

kharv, 5 September, 2013 at 11:08 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 30

Some will remember my plight in finding a bag to match my glittery shoes for the wedding this Saturday.

So I decided to buy a bag, some glitter and some glue and make my own. I'm quite pleased with it!

(I'm on my phone so will add photos on the next post)

    Mix glitter with glue and paste it on...

    Leave to dry overnight and voila!

    I think it looks wonderful. I'd like they were part of a set. Plus doing it this way you were able to get the size of bag you wanted.

    Good Job love!!! Looks brilliant and matches your shoes so well. Does it seem pretty 'stuck' as in it's not going to be dropping glitter bits everywhere, or coming off paper mache style?

    I've never tried Modge Podge - is it not just brand name PVA?

    Thanks everyone!

    Its very stuck - have rubbed it and still nothing coming off!

    modpodge apparently has some kind of varnish in it too - didn't want to risk normal pva as all the tutorials used this.

    Whatever your day job is Kharv you are clearly wasted there! You have done an amazing job of matching that up! I love a girl who doesn't give up in the quest for the perfect accessory - even if it means going to excessive (but neccessary) lengths! I applaud you for this!

    Wow, im really impressed! looks like the bag was made like that and it matches the shoes perfectly!

    If i had tried this it would have been a disaster!

    Hope it all stays on ok, I would avoid putting the bag under your arm as that might loosed the glitter also after nights out doing this with a glitter bag, ive had red irratation rash inside my arms from the glitter rubbing on my skin!

    Flow - stupidly cheap £3.50 jobby from ebay. Wanted as cheap as poss in case I wrecked it!

    Pixie - I'll let you know how it fares after the wedding! I'm not really expecting it to last tbh but I don't really mind.

    I may have got a bit carried away and 'glitterfied' a purse too. I don't know why I did that.

    PB - I love you.
