Best DIY Glitter Filled Projects

Having kids means having someone to share your love of glitter with. Kids will never turn down glitter, and that’s basically a proven fact. So when the temperatures are too high to go outside and play, the rain is falling down or you just have an afternoon to spare, try one of these many glitter DIYs to keep your little one occupied. Get ready to add a bit of sparkle to your day!

Homemade Glitter: First things first, you’re going to need glitter for these projects. If you don’t already have some, here’s a way you can make your own with just a few simple ingredients.

Calming Glitter Bottle: We all need a break sometimes. This calming glitter bottle will provide just the right distraction as your little one is mesmerized by the swirling glitter.

Glitter Kicks: Dress up an ordinary pair of sneakers and give your tiny diva (or divo) some shoes that are just as fabulous as they are! You’ll definitely be the cool mom when this project is finished.

Space Crayons: Use up all your broken crayons and make something new. Whether you go with bright and colorful or dark and spacey, these crayons are out of this world.

Glitter Critters: Most of us have extra jar lids hangin’ around our kitchen. You can’t recycle them, so you might as well reuse them and make a whole army of these cute glitter critters. This is a project even the youngest helper can handle.

Stacking Glitter Blocks: If you love glitter but not the mess it comes with, then this is the perfect project for you. Let your little buddy create the patterns and stick down the tape while you handle the scissors.

Totally Tubular Jewelry: Break out the sprinkles and your favorite colors of glitter. This is one project both of you can enjoy

Golden Glitter Slime: Ooey, gooey, golden slime? I’m not sure who will have more fun with this one, you or your kids. Either way, this is a fun one and it keeps in a Ziploc bag for weeks at a time
