I love to add glitter to my pages. It just adds that final touch to any page. And you can add a little or you can add a lot. There are a lot of different products that you can buy to add your sparkle. You can of course buy the little vials with glitter. Add glue to your page and then sprinkle your glitter onto your glue, or add the glitter to wet paint. However, that can become such a mess. Glitter everywhere for years to come. This is probably a reason why some people stay away from glitter.
I personally use two different types of glitter.
1: FolkArt Extreme Glitter from Plaid.
These are sold most anywhere in the US. Walmart carry most of the colors. And they are priced around $2 for 2 oz.
You can apply them just as you would any acrylic paint. Use a small brush, use your fingers, or apply any other way you prefer. The "paint" goes on as a milky white paint, but will dry clear so only the glitter shows.
You can get these at HofCraft for less than $2
2: Glitter Glue.
You can get these from various manufacturers. Crayola, Elmer's, and Cra-Z-Art, are just a few that I have used. Martha Stewart also sell glitter glue.
Prices on glitter glue varies a great deal. Here is a small list that I have compiled.
Martha Stewart: 4ct for $9.99 at Scrapbook.com The packs come in various sizes, colors, and prices.
Crayola: 5ct for $5.06 at Walmart.com Come in different colors as well.
Elmer's: 10ct for $4.88 at Walmart.com
Cra-Z-Art: 10ct for $2 at Family Dollar
I really suggest you check your local dollar store, dime store, or other discount store you might have. And get the cheapest you can find, and try it out.
Several of these glitter glue pens say they will dry raised or as 3D, but if you dont care for that, you can "smear" the glue with a finger to make it more flat when you apply it.
