Here is a quick demo on some ideas for adding glitter to your projects. Glitter is something you can put on just about anything! You can add it to a pre-made embellishment to kick it up a notch or you can use it to create your own embellishment.

TOMBO Aqua Liquid Glue is my all time favorite for adding glitter. I love it because it has a fine point tip at the top or a wide flat tip at the bottom so you can get the right about of glue for your need. I also love that is is clear and I never have a problem with the glue 'gunking up'. |

I suggest getting a tray or a paper plate to collect your excess glitter so that it can be put back in the bottle. |

I am using the wide flat end of my glue stick to add glitter to the ends of my flowers peddles. I squeeze out some glue and then with the tip of the bottle push the glue around. |

Then with the the flower in my collecting tray I add the glitter to the spots where there is glue. Once all the glue areas are covered tap off access glitter. |

Here is another way to add glitter to a project. This is Red Line Craft Tape and it is a double sided tape. This tape comes in a verity of widths and it also can be purchased in sheets so that you can make your own shapes. |

I wanted to add some some glitter to this card so I put the tape on and then peeled the top side off. I put my card in my collecting tray and added glitter. Tap off the excess glitter and your done! |
