Hi everybody, it's Marissa coming to you live and Sarah she's behind the camera from
Country Chic Paint and we are here and super stoked to be telling you guys
about a brand new product that we're launching so we've got is Glass Glitter!
It is so beautiful we can use it on so many different
projects it's something we haven't done before we're super stoked about it and I
am really excited to be showing you exactly what you can do with it today
all right so these come in sample sizes we haven't actually launched it
officially yet however some retailers might have it they get to stock up a
little bit early and because it has done so well already we have the silver right
here but we're gonna be bringing it in other colors so really really stoked
about that. So Glass Glitter. What is glass
glitter: it's made out of glass it's the highest quality glitter that you can
possibly get mostly glitter you'll find is plastic like foil things like that
and you'll find that at the craft store but this is top-notch guys. Okay I'm gonna
show you what we have done with it so far so some projects here are Sarah's
gonna come in and show you we've got different vases actually that we've
done you can tape off pieces and have them almost like a dipped look some of
them are a bit asymmetrical there's a certain there's I mean there's a lot of
ways that you can do it you can just paint them on and and put the glitter on
that way otherwise you can do the tape so that you are not getting the top and
not having any you're getting all those straight edges otherwise even things
like the Christmas balls over here Sarah's actually done that with rubber
bands so it's really tricky to get your tape kind of even of course so that's
what she's done and then we've even got these branches here that we have covered
in you can either use glue what works fantastic is our image transfer so we've
used that you probably use spray adhesive too that might work really well
and then you just roll and dip and all of that so yeah glass glitter it is made
in small batches in Europe by artisans and they've been doing it for over a
hundred and fifty years so it's really good quality they've got
it down pat we are gonna have it in some other colors I mean we're so
excited about that so I wanted to let you guys know that we are doing a
giveaway today too which I'm stoked about it's basically almost like a
glitter deluxe starter package here so what we've got is image transfer medium
that is going to be used to adhere the glitter to any kind of project that
you're doing we've got some paint that could be for using on a sign or your
piece of furniture that you're painting before you put the glitter on we picked
cranberry sauce because it's a good popular color for this time of year
right now and we're also doing a clear glaze and that's a pint and the
paint's a pint and the image transfer is a pint too so we've got lots here the
clear glaze would be used for mixing with the glitter and doing kind of a
washed look which is really nice because it's less opaque and kind of a
little bit more sparse so and then a brush so you've got everything that you
need for doing a project so what you are going to do to win this prize package is
let us know what you would use the glass glitter on for a project in your house
you can do it on furniture you could do it like we've done it on this sign here
anything we've shown you a lot of projects so yeah we're just really
excited about it but I am going to start now showing you
exactly what we're going to be doing today so we've got three projects that
we're going to do and I want to show you them over here so we've got the sign as
you saw over there in a different color what we've done is we have used a
stencil for that and we'll get more into that later but that's really beautiful
and you can go a whole bunch of different ways with it so and then also
we're gonna be doing a little frame here you can grab any type of frame from the
dollar store anything that you've got at home you can
repaint it with our paint the paint works on every different surface and
all of that so you're good to go there and what we're gonna be doing is the
glaze so this is what we've done so far just to kind of give you guys an idea
this will work on furniture as well which is kind of cool because what it
what we're doing is showing you how it sits in these little areas and that'll
be the same with the little frame that we've got here and that's a less opaque
coverage and so I will show you that later and then the first thing that
we're gonna be doing is showing you I'm just gonna grab it over here this is our
Christmas ball so that's it's perfect for right now I know a lot of our
retailers and contact them and look on line at www.countrychicpaint.com in the
store locator to see who the closest retailer is to you because I know a lot
of them are doing different Christmas themed
workshops right now with balls with the signs that I just showed you there's so
many things going on and if they aren't doing workshops you should probably ask
them because okay so I'm gonna show you
exactly how we're gonna be doing this Christmas ball today with the glass glitter so
what you need is we've got plastic and I think we grabbed these from Michael's
your local craft store and you can use glass as well I was talking to Sarah
earlier I think there's a lot of different like porcelain or ceramic
different ornaments even think ornaments that you can pick up as well from your
local craft store to do I think ceramic would be completely fine and what we are
going to do is there's a bunch of different things that you can use for to
adhere the glitter what we found is our let me see here or image transfer works
super well so if you're a fan of the paint which I know you are because
you're on our page right now you can pick up some of the image transfer and
use that and then use it on your other projects too so it's multi-purpose so
what we're gonna do right now and then what if you don't have that you can also
use like a clear drying glue you want it to be clear this looks white right
now but it's actually dries really clear so what I'm gonna do and you kind of
want to work fast I will get my glitter and actually you
know it's a better idea here's a tip this glitter you do not want to lose it
all over your table you are gonna want to do it over a bowl or a drop cloth or
something like that and so that you can catch all of the glitter because you
really don't want to lose it you can use it later put it back into the jar and
it can be reused so what I'm gonna do is just simply paint on the image transfer
like I said you can use so many different things but we want to use our
product products because that's what we have on hand
and I'm going kind of fast guys because this dries pretty quickly so
actually I'm gonna take the top off and
just go over it quick here. Sarah have you seen anyone writing in what
they want to use this glitter on in their four projects I'm keen to hear
definitely lots of Christmas decorations sounds like nice people said they want
to mirror frames and picture frames nice that is such a great idea and we're
gonna be using stencils later so you'll have a really good idea of different
things that you can be using it on I'm sure you guys have all of these things
at home already which is so awesome but look at how so I'm tapping it on you
could put it into a plate and you could actually like roll it in just like this
if you wanted to too but oops for the sake of being a little bit quick you can
simply just do it this way because what you're gonna do is you're gonna collect
all this and put it back and reuse it but look how gorgeous that is it is so
beautiful it looks like one of those vintage ornaments that I just love and
how fast is that you could grab a whole bunch of these and just have these as
the base on your Christmas tree and then add other things to it too so that's
literally how easy it is so I'm not gonna put the top on right now cuz I
don't want to touch the ball yet what you want to do is let this wait and
dry for I would say about 10 to 12 hours longer if you
want to be safe you can leave it as is or you can seal it so we'll show you how
to do that a little bit later and I'm going to let this guy dry now so I'll just pop
him I think upside down maybe actually we're
just gonna do that so the glitter does come off I know that you guys are gonna
want to do a lot of these projects with your kids I would say um older kids
better just because it is glass so it's not it's not the foil it's not the
plastic that you get at other craft stores plus it's really pretty and you
don't want it all over you want to save it so I'm simply just going to actually
you know what you should probably do this with like a little funnel or
something so it doesn't go over and you save it so I'm gonna leave that in there and
what I'm gonna do next is show you guys how to do a wash so that was really a
opaque coverage and like you know a lot of these other items that we've
done here that's opaque coverage but what I want to show you is gonna be
really great for even dresser drawer fronts if you wanted to give it a little
bit of sparkle but you don't want it to be completely covered you can do it on
your signs as a background you could do it we're just gonna use a little bit of
a frame right here but like I've shown you with this little tile it's sitting
in the little nooks and crevices so that's a different way to do it and it's
super easy so again what we're gonna do is our clear glaze is fantastic what we
have the clear glaze for is for tinting glaze with paint but what we're going
to do now is get it with our glitter so
this plate and we're simply going to just pour a little bit you don't need a
lot especially for the project that I'm doing right now I think that's even a
bit much but that will do and then I'm going to take the glitter and this is
not a recipe guys this is whatever you think if you don't want a lot if you
want more you can always mix it up and see what you think
once it's done what I'm gonna do here is take a new brush and just mixed up so
like I said this is not a science this is fun we want it to be whatever your
preference is and if you think that's not enough do a little bit more so it is
not clear right now you'll see that it's clear glaze but it's not clear right now
it dries clear so I will show you it's very simple you're just gonna brush it
on it's gonna sit in the little areas like I said it's almost I was thinking
about this when I was doing this earlier it's almost like when we have sparkly
nail polish and we really want a lot to be on one spot but because we're
brushing it on it kind of sits in some spots or it might get brushed over to
another spot and you're not happy with the coverage grab a different brush and
you can kind of almost stipple it on it's working really nicely for me right
now but the piece that I was trying earlier I just wanted it to be a little
bit more even coverage probably because I'm really picky and I don't know a
little bit particular but what I did was I I simply just kind of stippled it on
and that's kind of how glittery nail polish goes as far as what I'm doing
okay so see how that looks it's so pretty and that's I mean this
this is really great right now for holiday of course I mean we're showing
you a lot of projects that have been done that are great for the holidays but
if you want something that's not as you know sparkly not as you know just I
guess in-your-face sometimes then you can do this wash and
that's great for all year round I mean I like sparkle anyway so it wouldn't
matter what time of year I have got it in my house okay
so we're gonna just put that down to dry here but like I said guys it's gonna
look like this after and that's just so nice and like I said you can do that on
furniture we haven't really showed you any furniture pieces today I wanted to
show you little project pieces that you could work on at home especially right
now for the holiday maybe things that you can do to give to people for gifts
but like I said you could do the wash on furniture so that would be really great
for draw refine fronts things that are not really going to be touched a lot
because obviously it's got a texture to it right so this or this frame you
couldn't do a frame but this is a sign and we've pre done it because what we
did was we have a we used a adhesive one-time-use stencil the lovely lovely
retailers at island ish in an Iowa BC which is super close to us made this
beautiful stencil for us and we pre did it just because it I mean you can see
how precise it is it is so beautiful but what would take a long time to show
you on video is that the insides you kind of
have to pick them off because that is what the stencil does is it it leaves
these spots in between and then you're gonna peel them off right so you're
gonna have to be a little bit careful with that because you don't want to take
the glue off at the same time what we did was we did it in sections because we
didn't want to put the glue all over the image transfer all over and then have it
dry down the line when we're trying to put the glitter on it right so we did it
in in sections and then we peeled it off after so this color right here is
nightfall it's nightfall our color and then I
think we used simplicity Oh lazy linen they're so close okay so this
is lazy linen and then obviously the vintage silver glass glitter a lot of
you will have these type of stencils so this is not the one time use vinyl it
Stenson's that it here and then you take off and then you tuck away like these
beautiful ones from isla dish that they made us but we can still use them best
thing that you can do is grab some spray adhesive and just give that a little
quick spray like I'm going to now because otherwise usually well it can go
underneath and bleed and I just did that learn the hard way so we're just going
to give a little bit of a spray you don't need a lot and oops sorry there we
go um what we would normally do is just let this sit for just a little bit so
that it's more tacky and so that we don't get the spray adhesive on other
parts of the project however for the sake of the live we don't have a lot of
time so what I'm going to do is just grab my crop here and maybe just dab on
it a little bit just to take a bit off
I really would suggest just leaving it for you know five minutes before you
guys go ahead and do this but we will go ahead and we're probably good to go so
what I'm gonna do is just add a bit of detail on the side of this fir or the
sign I don't know why I keep saying frame guys oh okay
so I'm just gonna stick this down and I think it's it's good to go
perfect okay so now what I'm gonna do is I am going to grab our image transfer
like I said you could use glue it's probably gonna be better if your glue is
not super liquidy this one is a little bit more solid not really but it's it's
just thicker I guess is what I'm trying to say in consistency it's just gonna
work a little bit better than a really light liquid over school I would say for
this type of project you could use the different other ones but okay so I'm
stippling it because I really don't want it to lift in spots you don't need a ton
and it looks funny but I just want to make sure that it's not
and now what I'm gonna do is just smooth it out with another brush so now you can
see and it's just smooth on there I don't think it's lifted anywhere of
course it's gonna the spray adhesive will work better once you let it sit for
a little bit okay so we are ready to put her is anyone else get as excited as I
do hope glitter I'm sure they are are they Sara oh yeah mmm sweet okay so I'm
just going to tap some of this on all of the spots just like so let it sit there
for a second and then I'm just going to
dump that over into our Bowl because we want to keep it and give it a bit of a
tap and then we're gonna peel this off so just want to do this carefully and
kind of sorry kind of sideways look how beautiful that is
that's so pretty so that worked pretty well and that was quick I mean you guys
want to be a little bit more careful with the adhesive but that worked really
well so that just adds a bit of detail on the side we cut this off of a larger
piece of other stencils you could really use whatever you'd like you could grab
some I'm gonna put this back on its stand and I will
show you oh that's so beautiful okay and then okay I was just gonna show
you you could use some tape if you wanted to UM painters tape whatever you
have around tape off the side you could do you know different patterns however
you wanted to you could really cut this out and make it if you don't have a
sense at home there's so many different things that you could do you could
simply just paint a corner and do it that way
you could do the wash in on the sides like we did with the clear glaze that
would be really nice but yeah it's really up to you guys I mean it's fine
to be super creative with this obviously it's a really creative product we're
really excited about it but what I'm gonna show you now is how to seal it so
let me just put this down and I am going to grab one of my oh it's this one here
the Christmas ball that we have done so this is dried for probably 24 hours you
can leave it just like this it's it's not you know wrong to be leaving it
exactly the way it is this is something that is going to go on a Christmas tree
or be sitting you know in a centerpiece or something like that so it's not a
huge deal if it's coming off but it is nice to seal it so what we found works
really well out of our products is the clear coat you could use tough coat too
if you've got that at home but we've got clear coat here and I'm just going to
give that a bit of a shake and then what we're gonna do is just and then we're
just gonna get some on our brush and maybe don't do it over the barrel just
in case some drops and then we're just gonna brush it over top so we found that
our clear coat works really nice it doesn't take a lot of the sparkle away
once it but you're just simply going to apply it
just like so you don't need it to be too thick and that's really as easy as it
gets I'm not gonna do the whole thing because
you guys kind of get the idea but we've got some examples that have been sealed
and you can check those well we can check those out but yeah it's just
simply brushing it on and it doesn't take away the glitter look I mean you
have to test it out if you don't have clear coat we're recommending clear coat
because we've tested it and we know that it looks really nice once it dries but I
don't think a lot of well everything would would dry that way so it's
something that you want to test out because you wanted to be as glittery as
possible so I think we should pick a winner I think Sara can go through just
randomly whoever's whoever has oh my goodness I can't even think remember as
entered and commented below what kind of project they would want to use the
glitter on and they can win our prize pack here
so that is a jar of glitter we've got a pint of image transfer medium which we
use to adhere the glitter to different pieces we've got the a pint of paint in
cranberry sauce which is such a great color for right now and then we've got a
pint of clear glaze which you can use to mix up and do your washes with and then
also a brush so if Sarah wants to pick someone we can so
Anna Johnson yeah Anna we're so excited it's such a good prize pack you're gonna
have so much fun just like we have and this is only I mean how many pieces have
we shown you you could go on Pinterest you could there's so many different
things that you can do we've only just showing you a few and like I said who
can definitely use it with furniture we haven't shown you anything here but I
think it would be really fun to use on drawer fronts and you know anything
that's not gonna get touched a whole lot because you don't want it's textured
right so I think that we've covered everything hopefully everyone got back
on here so that they could win because we kind of cut out there but I just want
to let you know again that you can go to your local retailer some retailers might
have this by now but I think what we're gonna do is launch at a lot of a later
date and then we're going to be introducing different colors a little
birdie may have told me that we're gonna be doing gold and some black glitter so
just keep an eye on our facebook page for that sign up for a newsletter and
you will be the first to know about when you're launching our German glass
glitter all right thanks guys
