Use lots of glitter so it rolls easy to get all spots . The glitter you can pour out and use it again .

Love!!!! I've seen various sizes for the lights. Just curious which size do u reccomend for the 8x8 block?

@CorinneBlackstone 4 жыл бұрын

These ones are really tiny. I think it's just a matter of the look you want. This only has 12 lights on it so it's not super bright

Miniwax water base polycrylic clear gloss That’s the one you use I purchased this and started using it on the boxes I was using a adhesive spray and it wasn’t working it would scratch the glitter every time I put the fairy lights in

Thank you for this great tutorial. I do have a question though: as for the Polycrylic, I Googled it and see that there are different finishes (i.e. satin, semi-gloss, etc.). Does the finish matter? Also, it it MinWax? Thanks for any help you can give! Colleen

@CorinneBlackstone 2 жыл бұрын

I recommend using gloss and it is the brand minwax

@lynnk9545 2 жыл бұрын

Do you find that it’s better to have the opening on the top or bottom? I made one without glitter and have the opening on the bottom. I’m thinking of adding glitter to it now.

@CorinneBlackstone 2 жыл бұрын

I like it on the top personally that way any loose glitter just stays inside

Soak in warm water, rub with goo gone, you can use a razor blade as well.

Help!! I put glitter in as you said and let it sit for days. When I put the lights in it scratched the glitter off. What do you think could be the problem?

@CorinneBlackstone 2 жыл бұрын

You probably let your polycrylic dry too long so it didn’t form enough of a bond with the glitter

Thank you for your tutorial. Is the Polycrylic you are using specifically used as an adhesive? Polycrylic in the UK, is used as a protective finish on wooden furniture, it's an expensive type of varnish not adhesive.

It's the same stuff. :) this can be used as a sealer too
