- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- Do you love the look of glitter grout but aren’t quite sure how to make it? In this video, I discuss two glitter options for your mosaic grout: craft store glitter and glitter grout additive. I’ll demonstrate how to make the glitter grout, and show how it works when grouting a mosaic. I’ll also go over the pros and cons and why you would want to choose one over the other. As always, LOTS of tips and tricks throughout.

Thank you Julie. I've been waiting for this video 😊
Hey Jessica! WOO HOO! Bring on the glitter! Have fun and keep creating! Glad you're here. 😀
Very helpful. Thank you!
I always wondered whether glitter can be added to grout - thanks Julie - love all your videos 😍
Hi Rupa! Thanks so much! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. It's super easy and WOW! does it make a difference in your grout. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
Love how you cover things I never would of thought of!!
Love the shimmer!!
Hi Dee Ann! Aww, thanks for your kind words. Great to hear you enjoyed the video.😊 Sometimes a little shimmer in our grout is all we need.✨ Keep creating and I’m so glad you’re here!
Oh yay… I was thinking about asking about this particular subject. Maybe I did ask. 🤷♀️So glad to see this video . Thank you Julie!😍❤️
Hi JC! Here you go! What's your first mosaic project for glitter grout....and what color grout and glitter are you thinking of? 🌟
Thank you for your amazingly helpful videos! So grateful :)
Hi Sheila! It's great to hear you're enjoying my videos. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Thanks for doing this video. I have wondered what the difference was between these 2 glitters.
Hi Cindy! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and got value from it. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
Thank you
Thank you Julie so informative, you keep offering up the answers even before the Q are formulated. Love my mosaicing which began during our first lockdown. Personally I am in awe of your organisation skills. Of course being neat and tidy enhances the experience and No doubt contributes positively to the final result but, well, definitely not there, yet. Please keep up the good work.
Hi Paula! Wow, thanks so much for your kind words. It's great to hear I'm addressing all those answers for you to keep progressing in your mosaic work. Can't stop, won't stop!😂 I have always (even from an itty bitty age) loved to be organized and organize things. My brain works best that way. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
Another great video Julie; many thanks!!!
Could you give an explanation of that gorgeous heart; the 1 after the Valentine’s card?!?
I’m always looking for heart projects!!
Also would LOVE a mosaic bead project!!!
Thanks thanks thanks Julie!!!!
Tanya! How are you my mosaic friend? I'm so glad you liked the video. The heart is from this video: ua-cam.com/video/NsaDONDa2PM/v-deo.html. I go through all the steps to create it. It's a great heart project for your scrap glass....and glitter grout!😉 I'll put bead mosaics on the list! Anything in particular (jewelry, wall art, frame, etc.)? As always, thanks for your support and for being here. Keep creating!⭐
Started with the “good sized heart” video, left to rewatch the preparation of wood video- now on adding glitter to grout video. Love the rabbit hole of mosaic 101. My first mosaic was a mirror heart. Second mosaic was a triptych on canvas mirror mosaic. My third and present mosaic, also mirror, is a 20” x20” compass rose. I love your keystone video too❣️ I also learned from one of your videos and used mesh this time. Not in love with mirror adhesive but what can I do 🤔 I somehow feel mirror is not as easy as other “tesserae” Hopefully I’ll complete this compass to find out. Thanks so much for all your videos.
Hi B Man! You've been busy. Nice mix of mosaic projects. I agree about mirror and mirror adhesive. It's not as 'fun' as some other tesserae but WOW! does it make a big statement. Do it for the good of the mosaic! 😂 Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!
Is the grout you use for these projects, the same stuff that's used for bathroom floors? If not, do you think it could still be ok to use for floors and walls in a bathroom?
Hi Melissa0774! Yes, it's the same grout used for bathroom floors. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher I know you're using the grout for crafting purposes and my question is not about that, but do you know if there are any types of grout that you can put the glitter from this video in, that will stick on top of already existing grout? I would really love to put glitter grout on my bathroom floor, but I don't want to have to remove the grout that is already there. It's unsealed and I believe, unsanded. It's one inch, square shaped ceramic mosaic tiles that were installed in 1964. I've researched this and it seems my only options are either something called Grout Pen, or a type of cover up paint, called Perma Bond. Have you heard of Perma Bond? Do you think I could mix glitter into it? I know these are a lot of questions. Thank you so much for responding.
Add the mica powder into the grout sealer. Use for the last coat.
Thank you for this info. Wasn’t sure how to add the glitter.
Have you ever added seed beads to your grout?
Cheri! Oooohh, thanks for the tip on adding mica powder to the sealer. I'll have to try that out! I've used micro beads as grout for many years. LOVE the look and they're so much fun to work with. I did a video here on it: ua-cam.com/video/CX4eenum6VY/v-deo.html. Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher Thank you Julie! And you’re welcome. Shame you don’t live close to Bethlehem, Pa.! 😋
Thank you! Should I use the same color of glitter as a grount?
Hi Renata! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. You'll want to think about the end result. Do you want contrast or subtle? For instance, white grout with red glitter (contrast), or white grout with a pearl or white iridescent glitter (subtle)? Do you want the grout to call attention to itself, or would you rather it be 'in the background' and let your mosaic work be the focal point? Keep creating and I'm so glad you're here!🔥
@@JulieWeilbacher thank you so much for your response, understand it is our choice.Thanks to you and couple other artist sharing with experience on you tube I save a lot of money.
love it, can never have too much sparkle or animal print!!!
Phyllis, you are my kind of people! 🙌
@@JulieWeilbacher 🍷
YES!!!! I 100% agree!
Some people grout with glass beads instead of grout. Have you ever tried that? Fantastic video 💯✔️👍
Hi Sangue! Great to hear you enjoyed the video. YES, glass beads as grout are lots of fun! I like to use microbeads. Here's a video I did which used bead grout: ua-cam.com/video/CX4eenum6VY/v-deo.html. Keep creating and I'm glad you're here! 🙌
You specifically say to add a spoonful and a quarter of the glitter grout additive, but don't say the exact amount of grout you put in the cup. What is the ratio you use please?
Hi Kathleen! Here's a link to a video where I show how to mix up grout and thinset: ua-cam.com/video/UU0ct32CUmA/v-deo.html. Keep creating and I'm thankful you're here!🔥
