Glitter Hooks

When my jewelry collection of statement and long strand necklaces expanded to more than I could easily store, I sought out new ways to store the necklaces. 3M hooks were the perfect answer. They required no holes in the wall and required no real handiwork. Over time though I got bored with the plain white hooks, so I looked to see what other designs 3M offered. Unfortunately, none fit my style needs. Rather than give up, I decided to create my own hooks with glitter and glue. The final result required very little effort, but made a huge difference to my décor.

What you’ll need:
-3M Hooks
-Glue (I used Mod Podge)
-Glitter
-Paint Brush

1. Mix the glue and glitter together. I used a ratio of 2:1 glue to glitter.

2. Paint the glue/glitter mixture onto the 3M hooks. Allow a couple minutes between coats of the mixture for the hooks to dry some. I did 5 coats to ensure the hooks were completely covered with glitter. Once done, wait at least an hour before hanging.

  2. Hi Liz!

    I haven't had any issues with the glitter coming off or scratching when using them to hang jewelry. If you are worried though, I would suggest adding an extra coat of just the mod podge once they dry with the glitter. You could also try spraying them with a type of clear spray.
