Working With Glitter

When using glitter, always have a piece of paper under your project. So when you dump the extra glitter off, you can bend the paper into a funnel shape and put the extra glitter back in the bottle. This way you do not waste a bunch of glitter.

i used a paper plate which made a good funnel when squeezed in half to put the glitter back - but i really like Reginas idea too!

Store your glitter in inexpensive sandwich containers -you can dunk your work right into the container, or spoon the glitter over your artwork and let the excess slide back in. They stack well also - works great for rubber stamp embossing powders as well.

Working with Glitter or Embossing Powder

Glitter and powders can be messy. To keep a clean craft surface, first place a large scrap paper (placemat size) on the table under project. After sprinkling powder on project fold project paper in half and aim at a clean paper plate while tapping gently on back. Excess powder will fall into the plate which can be folded in half. Then the powder on the plate is tapped and funneled back into original container. If any powder had escaped, just roll up the placemat and toss.
