Glitter Artistry: Bags, Tags & Cards

Glitter’s not just for child’s play anymore! Now it’s a sophisticated, high-quality product available in hundreds of sparkling shades, sizes, and styles. Barbara Trombley—the owner of Art Glitter, Inc.—has pioneered the field, creating unique colors and designing her own magnificent line of cards. Who better to explain the entire dazzling process? She discusses the difference between opaque and transparent glitters; the diverse sizes, from chunky to ultra fine; the categories of sheen, from neon to pearlescent; the all-important adhesives; and a variety of exciting techniques. What will really thrill crafters are the shimmering bag, tag, and card projects—some travel and vintage inspired, others seasonally themed, and still more for celebrations such as birthdays, graduations, and weddings.
