Putting glitter inside ornament?

I'm makine one special ornament for Christmas.  I'm putting pictures on the front of a clear glass ball with Mod Podge and need a way to put glitter on the inside.  I'm not going to spend $5 for a can of glitter spray.  I have spray adhesive, if I spray that inside and throw in glitter, will the adhesive dry clear?  Or will it make the inside look gummy?

  • I would think it would be fine.  Someone on this board said she did it with hairspray. I've used floor wax and had them turn out beautifully!

  • Just go get some mop & glo like the pinterest one floating around. It looks super easy that way and they looked perfect.

  • I know I sound horribly cheap, but I'm just not going to go buy anything to make one ornament.  So, no Mop & Glo either.   Embarrassed

  • I second the hairspray. We did this a while ago and it worked well.
  • I did this for my elfster ornament actually.  I used 3M General Purpose 45 spray adhesive.  I just sprayed a TON of it inside and then moved the ornament around to make sure it coated all the surfaces.  Then i dumped the glitter inside and shook it around until it was coated and dumped the rest back into a cup.  The adhesive was a little cloudy when it was wet but it dried perfectly clear.

    On another note, I wish my person would AW it!  I am so proud of it!
