Glitter Brads

Love glitter? Love using brads in your artwork? Why not combine the two for a “wowie” effect…

Using a Coluzzle mat, piercing mat, mouse pad or something similar, insert your desired brads into the surface so they stand up fully supported. Then using Liquid Glass (or similar) apply a small dab on the head of the brad. Then sprinkle glitter of choice on top of the Liquid Glass (I used Prisma Glitter.) Let dry before brushing away excess glitter. And then voila…beautiful handmade glitter brads!

Here’s a card I made using these beauties. It’s a pattern from Originals called “Peek-A-Boo” from the CTMH catalog.

And here’s one up close to really appreciate their twinkle.
