Have you ever thought of mixing epoxy with glitter and making magnificent things with it? I hadn’t until recently! I was trying to figure out how to spruce up a boring and shallow silver tray. It wasn’t deep enough to inset many cool objects in it, so I thought, why not mix in my favorite color of glitter?
Winning!
Yes, yes…. I chose an aqua glitter. You wouldn’t have been able to guess, right?
So for this project you need a tray, epoxy and glitter. Mix your two parts of epoxy together really well, then add glitter.
Once your concoction is thoroughly mixed, pour it into your tray.
**Important Tip: Your tray needs to be on a level surface, or your epoxy will dry with an angle to it. Bad news bears, huh?
The hardest part is waiting. Wait 72 hours for the epoxy to cure completely. It’s important for your project to cure in a warmer area, and covered up. I stuck mine under an aluminum tray for baking. It will keep dust, dog hair, etc., from sticking into your project.
Once your tray is dry, you are ready to use it. I clean mine with Clorox wipes when it gets messy — they hold up great.

Look out for my next craft post — I made the CUTEST gift for my sister’s wedding, which is on Sunday 🙂
