FAQs

What is the primary use of this glitter set?

This set is designed to add subtle, vintage-inspired sparkle to holiday and winter-themed paper crafts and mixed-media projects.

How do I apply the glitter?

You need an adhesive medium, such as Tim Holtz Distress Collage Medium. Apply the medium to your surface and sprinkle the glitter over it while the medium is wet. Tap off the excess.

What colors are included in this set?

The set includes two glitters: TINSEL (tarnished vintage platinum hues) and GARLAND (warm gold tones).

What is the approximate amount of glitter in each container?

Each container holds approximately 16-18 grams of glitter.

Can I use this glitter with other adhesives?

While designed for Distress Collage Medium, it is generally compatible with most water-based paper crafting adhesives, though results may vary.

Is this glitter chunky or fine?

The set features a unique combination of various glitter sizes to create a nuanced sparkle effect.

How should I store the glitter?

Store the containers tightly closed in a dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain quality.

Troubleshooting

Glitter not adhering well.

Ensure you are using a suitable adhesive medium like Distress Collage Medium. Apply the medium evenly and sprinkle the glitter while the medium is still wet. Allow adequate drying time.

Glitter is clumping.

This can happen if too much adhesive is used or if the glitter is applied too thickly. Use a thinner layer of adhesive and a lighter application of glitter. Tap off excess glitter gently.

Desired sparkle effect not achieved.

Experiment with different application techniques. Try layering the glitter over different mediums or applying a second light coat of glitter after the first layer of adhesive has partially dried.
