Glitter votives

These weren't anything spectacular, but can look quite pretty and would be fun in bright colors in the right room. I had purchased tea lights through a dance fundraiser for big E's preschool teachers and wanted her to help with part of the gift, so we came up with this project!

Supplies needed:
glass votive cups
Mod Podge
sponge brush
fine glitter
possibly a spray sealant

Apply Mod Podge to the outside of a votive cup. Sprinkle with glitter and let dry. I opted to add a spray sealant to keep the glitter from coming off every time I touched it, although it does slightly alter the sparkly effect (still sparkly, just one shade duller?). We made some of these in my MOPS group a few years back, only we also rolled the cups in small sparkly beads. It looked pretty, but the beads did come off fairly easily.
