Using a paint brush I put the glue on the clip. |
After the glue is on, shake on the glitter. |
I leave the glitter on the clips until I am done with all the clips I want in that color. |
When all clips are done in that color I tap it off. |
I work one side at a time and let it dry. |
I always use a scrap piece of paper under my work so I can return the excess glitter back into the container. |
Back it goes. |
To keep the glitter in place longer I apply a thin layer of clear acrylic sealer. I do this outside because of the intense smell from the sealer. It takes about one day for the smell to go away. |
I have had a time where I added too much sealer and the glitter didn't have much shine. The lighter I go with the sealer the better it turns out. |
After deciding on the dimensions I wanted for depth the box I scored it on both sides. I outlined it in black to show you here. |
To make the sides, cut just to the first line about an inch or so on all four sides. |
I didn't take a picture of this, but I glued a piece of patterned paper over the yellow side of the box. I used Alene's tacky glue and used some clothes pins to make it stay. |
When all is said and done I wished I had folded the pattern paper over the side of the box. You can still see a little bit of the yellow under the edge of the paper. |
Here is the finished product. |
