How to I keep the glitter from falling off my project?

Oct '10 The Porcelain Rose

I am having trouble with the glitter falling off of my holiday paper projects. They look great right after I finish but every time I move them more glitter falls off. What can I do to prevent this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Use a good glue and I have put glossy accents over the top of the glitter. Really seals it in but not not work depending on the look you are going for.

That is why I love stickles now. I had the same trouble. But stickles are quick and easy without the mess.

stickles = zero mess (unless you have a cat, as I do)

I cannot deal with glitter

Oh I agree can't stand glitter. Stickles are the best for that!!

I second the glossy accents or diamond glaze.
It really can depend on the glue you use, I use Martha Stewart glitter glue that brushes on and dries clear.

If you really get tired of using loose glitter then definitely go with stickles! I have used them on a holiday project to accent a flourish stamp.

Good luck, glitter is pretty but is also can be really aggravating!

I definitely recommend stickles. But is there a way to spray some sort of top-coat finishing spray onto the glitter, if that is what you are dead-set on using?

I use the same Clear Acrylic Sealer spray that I use to seal my Mod Podge. Works like a charm. Got it at WM.
