leisa2003 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I used modge podge. You can get it in the craft section at Wal-mart. You put that on, then roll it in the glitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jooniper Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 There are some containers in the Southern Living magazine this month with glitter glued on them...they are quite pretty. I would think you could use the same method on a pillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 but on a pillar wouldn't the glitter mess with the burn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
