FAQs
What projects is this glitter best suited for?
This fine glitter is ideal for detailed craft projects, balloon decorations, floristry, card making, scrapbooking, and adding a subtle shimmer to various decorative items.
How do I get the best coverage when applying?
For best results, apply an even layer of adhesive to your surface first, then sprinkle the glitter over the wet adhesive. You can also gently dust the glitter onto a surface if using it for a subtle shimmer without adhesive, but this may be less permanent.
Is this glitter safe for children's crafts?
While the glitter itself is generally safe, adult supervision is recommended during use, especially with younger children, due to the fine particles and potential for mess.
Can I mix this glitter with paint?
Yes, this fine glitter can be mixed into clear paints, mediums, or sealants to create a custom sparkly finish. Ensure thorough mixing for an even distribution.
How much glitter is in one pot?
Each pot contains 100g of fine glitter.
How should I store the glitter?
Store the glitter in its original bottle with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality.
Will the color fade over time?
When stored properly away from direct sunlight, the color should remain vibrant. Prolonged exposure to strong UV light may cause colors to fade over extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Glitter is clumping and not spreading evenly.
Ensure the glitter is completely dry and the storage bottle is not exposed to moisture. Gently shake the bottle to loosen any clumps before use. If applying with adhesive, ensure the adhesive is applied evenly.
Glitter is not sticking to the project surface.
Ensure you are using an appropriate adhesive for the surface and glitter. Apply a thin, even layer of adhesive first, then sprinkle the glitter onto the wet adhesive. Allow adequate drying time.
Too much glitter is being dispensed.
Carefully tap the bottle over your work area. If too much is dispensed, try to carefully brush or blow the excess away from the desired area before the adhesive sets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply open the storage bottle and use the glitter as needed for your project. For best results, ensure your surface is clean and dry before application.
Compatibility: This glitter is compatible with most craft adhesives, glues, and sealants. It can be applied to paper, cardstock, fabric, plastic, glass, and floral foam. When used with balloons, ensure the glitter is only added to the *inside* of the balloon before inflation if desired, or use a suitable adhesive for external application.
Care: Store the glitter in its original bottle with the lid tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean up stray glitter, use a dry brush or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. For surfaces where glitter has been adhered, cleaning may be difficult; spot test adhesives and cleaning methods if concerned.
