Well, I finally got around to making a glittered letter video tutorial. I hope this will be helpful and inspirational for you as your getting ready for the holidays.
The music used at the end of the video is “Dawn” from The Pride and Prejudice Soundtrack.
Music by Dario Marianelli, performed by Jean-Yves Thibeaudet.

mimi, You could glue the letters onto a stiff wire, like bailing wire or heavy florist wire.
Thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!! I can't wait to try it myself!
Great tutorial!
Thanks for sharing and I can't wait to try making some.

Thanks for taking the time to share the tutorial. I am a visual learner so this tute was great! I want to add the Merry & Bright banner to my booth! Thanks so much!
Have a great weekend! xo
LOVED your video tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing your inspiration & resources! You are awesome!
Loved watching, German glass glitter is one of my faves! I have a couple tips:
1) Mixing of two grits helps fill in, but another trick is to paint the project with silver first. I spray painted with silver, then covered and it was great!
2) I'll often push the item into the glitter so that it'll really stick. Make a bed of the glitter, go face down and push.
3) Be careful when you push down, like with magnets, that you have something to protect your surface. I found out the hard way that the glass will pit your surface if you don't!
I thought your tutorial was great, very informative. I know you were sorry you couldn't zoom in on yourself while crafting and teaching…but I used the control button and scrolled until you were big enough to see and I could see the packaging details pretty well too.
Just FYI…
I love this glitter it looks great. I saw that you had some really "early model" Home Interiors Butterflies… I think they turned out great.
I have some 'early model' H.I. Ivy. I think would be great in this medium. But I won't pay the price for the glitter.
Email… I can mail them too you.

Just found your blog and love it. Your tutorial was fabulous with the German Glass Gitter, but I am afraid it is way to expensive for me… I love the little squeals in the background… They are really precious. Can you tell I'm a grandma? LOL
My glass glitter arrived in the mail today and I am SO EXCITED! thanks not only for providing instructions but also for providing such great detail on the items you used and where to find them.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, know-how and sources. You are so thoughtful and giving.
