If you are someone who loves all things sparkly and shiny, then glitter is an essential part of your craft supplies. From adding a touch of glamour to DIY projects to creating stunning party decorations, glitter can elevate any ordinary item. But, how do you glue glitter properly? In this ultimate guide, we’ll answer all your questions on how to glue glitter effectively.

What materials and tools do you need?

Before we dive into the step-by-step process, let’s gather the necessary materials and tools:

  • A surface or item to apply glitter
  • Glue (choose a glue suitable for the surface you’re working on)
  • Glitter (choose your preferred color and size)
  • A small bowl or container to catch excess glitter
  • A brush or sponge

Step 1: Prepare your work area

Cover your work area with newspaper or a plastic sheet to catch any loose glitter and protect the surface from glue spills.

Step 2: Apply glue

Use the brush or sponge to apply a thin, even layer of glue to the surface or item you want to glitter. Make sure the glue covers the entire area you want the glitter to adhere to.

Step 3: Catch the excess glitter

Hold the surface or item over the small bowl or container and sprinkle glitter generously onto the glued area. Allow the excess glitter to fall into the bowl/container. Repeat this step until the entire glued area is covered in glitter.

Step 4: Press and seal the glitter

Gently press down on the glittered area using your fingers or a clean, dry brush. This step helps the glitter adhere firmly to the glue. Allow it to dry completely.

Step 5: Remove excess glitter

Once the glue has dried, gently tap the item to remove any loose or stray glitter. You can use a soft brush or a piece of masking tape to pick up any stubborn bits.

Step 6: Seal the glitter (optional)

If you want to prevent any glitter fallout, you can seal the glitter with a clear sealant. Apply a thin layer of sealant over the glittered area and allow it to dry completely.

Step 7: Enjoy your glitter creation!

Now that you’ve successfully glued glitter to your item, it’s time to enjoy your dazzling creation. Whether it’s a personalized card, a festive ornament, or a sparkling photo frame, your glittered project will surely grab attention and bring joy to others!

Remember to try different techniques and experiment with various glues and glitter sizes to achieve the desired effect. So go ahead, unleash your creativity, and let your imagination sparkle with glitter!
