FAQs

What age are these glitter glue pens suitable for?

These Colour Swirl Glitter Glue Pens are suitable for children aged 3 years and up.

How do I achieve the swirl effect?

The swirl effect is created automatically as the two colors within the pen are dispensed and blend together on the surface. Apply with steady pressure for the best results.

What surfaces can I use these pens on?

They work best on paper, cardstock, and other similar craft materials. They can adhere to other surfaces, but are primarily designed for paper crafts.

How long does the glue take to dry?

Drying time can vary depending on the thickness of application and the type of surface. It is generally recommended to allow at least 30-60 minutes for the glue to dry completely.

Can I mix the colors from different pens?

While you can apply different colors next to each other, the 'swirl' effect is unique to the two colors within a single pen. You can layer colors once the first layer is dry.

Are these glitter glue pens washable?

The glue is not designed to be washable once dried. It's best to protect surfaces and clothing during use. Any accidental spills should be cleaned immediately with a damp cloth.

How should I store the glitter glue pens?

Store the pens upright with the caps securely fastened in a cool, dry place to prevent the glue from drying out.

Troubleshooting

Glue is not flowing

Ensure the cap has been removed and check if the nozzle is blocked. Gently wipe the tip or use a fine pin to clear any blockage (adult supervision recommended).

Glue is drying too quickly in the pen

Make sure the cap is replaced securely after every use. Store the pens upright with the cap on.

The color swirl effect is not prominent

Ensure even pressure is applied during use. Shake the pen gently before use if colors appear separated. Experiment with different application speeds to achieve the desired swirl.

Glue has dried on unintended surfaces

Wipe away excess glue immediately with a damp cloth. For dried glue, try gently scraping it off or washing the surface with soap and water.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a unique and visually appealing dual-color glitter effect.
  • Encourages fine motor skill development and artistic exploration in children.
  • The precision nozzles allow for detailed and controlled application.
  • Works on a variety of common craft surfaces.
  • The pack of 5 offers good value and variety for multiple projects.

Cons

  • May require adult supervision for very young children due to the precision tips.
  • Glitter can be messy if not used carefully, requiring a suitable crafting area.
  • Drying time may vary depending on the thickness of application and surface.
  • Not suitable for use on fabric or surfaces that require extensive washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply remove the cap from the glitter glue pen and press the nozzle gently onto the crafting surface to begin applying the glue. Ensure the cap is replaced securely after each use to prevent drying.

Compatibility: These pens are best suited for use on porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, and cardboard. They adhere well to these materials. While they may adhere to other smooth surfaces temporarily, their intended use is for paper crafts.

Care:

  1. Storage: Store the pens upright with the caps on in a cool, dry place to prevent the glue from drying out.
  2. Cleaning: If glue gets on surfaces other than the intended craft material, wipe it away immediately with a damp cloth. Dried glue may require gentle scraping or washing with soap and water, depending on the surface.
  3. Nozzles: If a nozzle becomes blocked, try gently wiping the tip with a damp cloth or carefully poking it with a fine pin (adult supervision required).
