1O Things You Can Do with Loose Glitter

Loose Glitter...dreaded words by many...but today we're here to share some fresh and new ideas with you. Check out these ten ideas from our current and past designers!

1. Create a shaker box using loose glitter

Practical Scrapper Kerri, practically famous for her shaker cards (:, used old plastic packaging to encase her digital image from one of our past sponsors Squigglefly and created a shaker card.

2. Use glitter to give a snow illusion to letters.

Practical Scrapper Christa cut her Snowy title with her Silhouette and used her Xyron Sticker Maker on the FRONT of her letters to adhere this chunky glitter. Doesn't it look like a fresh snow fall?

3. Color images with liquid adhesive and sprinkled glitter.
