Pinterest Success---Glitter Skull

Let's be honest. Everything is better with glitter. Almost everything anyways. 



Black glitter+cheap halloween decorations= epic amounts of happiness.

For this little craft, I used:

A cheesy looking plastic skull from Dollar Tree
A Foam Paintbrush
Black Paint
Black Glitter
Mod Podge
Spray Adhesive

Step 1: I mixed some Mod Podge and black paint together in a plastic bowl and promptly painted it on the skull with the foam brush. 


Step 2: Working in sections, paint the skull and apply glitter to glued area. It goes without saying, but it would be good to work over a large bowl or plate to collect the glitter that does not stick on the skull. Keep doing this until the entire skull is covered. An alternative is to use spray adhesive instead of the Mod Podge. I personally prefer to use the Mod Podge for the most part because the spray adhesive tends to make the glitter look less sparkly-- you have to reglitter areas because of the way it makes the glitter look. However, the spray adhesive works great in hard to get areas and small missed spots.

Allow Drying time. Remember, it will still shed glitter even after it is dry so be careful where you display it and take extra care not to drop it.
