St. Patrick's Day Glitter Vase
Valentine's Day is over, so it's time for St. Patrick's Day crafts! For my first craft of this season, I took on a sparkly vase. I saw a sparkly Valentine's Day vase like this on A Glimpse Inside and I thought it would look great in alternating shades of green.
- Glitter (two colors)
- Double sided tape (I used 1 1/4 rolls)
- Disposable bowl (not shown)
- Tissue (not shown)
- Sealant (optional)
Tip: Try to line up the start and end pieces of your tape so they are in a row. In some cases, I got a little extra glitter at the start/end of my tape, so it was helpful to have them line up together in the back of my vase.

Materials and Supplies
- Vase- Glitter (two colors)
- Double sided tape (I used 1 1/4 rolls)
- Disposable bowl (not shown)
- Tissue (not shown)
- Sealant (optional)
How to Make This
1. Put your first layer of tape around the vase.
Determine how thick you want each stripe. I alternated between single strips of tape and double strips of tape, for larger stripes.
2. Pour glitter onto the tape.
Tap the glitter onto the strip of tape.
3. Tap off excess glitter.
Do this over a disposable bowl or paper. You can pour this back into the glitter container when you're done.4. Use a tissue to wipe off excess glitter.
Keep a sharp edge above or below the tape line.
5. Continue to alternate stripes of glitter.
Do one color at a time, to keep clean lines. You can make larger or smaller stripes depending on how many rows of tape you place at once.Tip: Try to line up the start and end pieces of your tape so they are in a row. In some cases, I got a little extra glitter at the start/end of my tape, so it was helpful to have them line up together in the back of my vase.
6. Consider using a spray sealant to seal your vase.
I'm waiting for a nice day to do this outside, but I think it will be helpful to keep the glitter on the vase. Small amounts come off, unless you handle it carefully.
