Full details
The Creativ Glitter Glue Bottles are designed for crafters of all ages looking to add sparkle and secure adhesion to their projects. The key benefit is the combination of vibrant glitter with strong adhesive in an easy-to-use format. A minor caveat is that while quick-drying, excessive application may require slightly longer drying times. These bottles offer a versatile way to embellish paper, card, wood, foam, and more, making them ideal for card making, scrapbooking, school projects, and decorative crafts.

FAQs
What age group is this glitter glue suitable for?
The Creativ Glitter Glue is non-toxic and safe, making it suitable for children. Adult supervision is recommended for very young crafters.
Can I use this glitter glue on fabric?
Yes, it can be used to add decorative sparkle to fabric for crafts, but it is not intended as a permanent fabric adhesive and its washability is not guaranteed.
How do I clean up spills?
Wipe up spills immediately with a damp cloth before the glue dries. Once dried, it may be more difficult to remove.
What is the size of the glitter glue bottle?
Each bottle contains 25 ml of glitter glue.
Does the glitter flake off after drying?
When applied and dried properly, the glitter should adhere well to the glue and not flake off easily. Excessive handling before fully dry might cause some shedding.
Can I mix different colors of glitter glue?
Yes, you can mix different colors to create unique shades or layer them for a more complex effect, but allow the first layer to dry partially before applying the next.
Troubleshooting
Glue is not flowing
Check if the cap is properly sealed. Ensure the tip is not clogged by gently pressing the bottle or clearing with a toothpick. Warm the bottle slightly in your hands if the glue is cold.
Uneven glitter distribution
Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Move the tip steadily across the surface. For larger areas, consider applying in smaller, overlapping sections.
Glue taking too long to dry
Ensure a thin, even layer was applied. Avoid applying excessively thick coats, which can extend drying time. Allow adequate ventilation in the crafting area.
Adhesion is weak on the surface
Confirm the surface is clean and dry. Ensure the surface is porous (e.g., paper, wood, foam). For smoother surfaces, a primer or pre-treatment might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Creativ Glitter Glue Bottles are ready to use straight out of the package. Simply remove the cap, and the glue is ready to be squeezed. For the first use, or if the tip appears clogged, gently press the tip against a scrap piece of paper to clear any dried glue.
Compatibility: This glitter glue is designed to work effectively on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, cardboard, wood, and craft foam. It can also be used on some fabrics for decorative purposes, though washability is not guaranteed. Avoid using on non-porous surfaces like glass or smooth plastic where adhesion may be weak.
Care: Store the bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely replaced after each use to prevent the tip from drying out. If the tip becomes clogged, carefully use a fine-tipped tool like a toothpick or needle to clear the opening. Clean any accidental spills immediately with a damp cloth before the glue dries.
