Sealing Glitter

Topic Closed

Aug '09 Karen.W

Ok, so I bought that big pack of glitter by Martha Stewart. I have used it a few times on my LO's and LOOOOOVE it. BUT the glitter sheds off and it clings to my sheet protectors.=(
What can I do to seal the glitter but it not take away from the glittery effect?

I tried using matte Mod Podge, but it dulls it.

Any ideas?

Thank you!!

I apply a thin layer of Judikins Diamond Glaze over my glitter. seals it perfectly.

Yep, Diamond Glaze, Glossy Accents or Glossy Modge Podge will all work!

I was watching a MM video using their glitter, and it said to use hair spray to seal it. I havent tried it yet but it sounds like a good idea.

I watched that video a few months back..and tried it on one of my daughters LO's and OMG!....No! I dont recommend doing that. I let my letter dry completely than shook off the excess loose glitter and sprayed, it made it scatter everywhere(whatever else was loose on there) and it never sealed it.

I bought Glossy Mod Podge today, So I'll try that out.
