Ingredients
- Clear school glue
- Fine or craft glitter
- Wax paper or a silicone mat
- Small disposable cups or bowls for glitter
- Stirring stick or disposable spoon
- Paper towels
- Tray or shallow box to catch spills (optional)
- Cookie cutters or small templates (optional)
- Food coloring or washable paint for tinting (optional)
Instructions
- Cover your work surface with wax paper or a silicone mat and set out small cups of glitter.
- Gently squeeze a line or puddle of glue onto the paper in the shape you want.
- Work in small groups so kids do not wait too long.
- Add glitter while the glue is wet so it sticks right away.
- Tilt the paper slightly to catch excess glitter on the wax paper and shake it back into the cup.
- For layered looks, add one color, let it set a bit, then add more.
- Use a toothpick or stick to spread glue for thin, even shapes.
- Let the pieces dry fully in a warm, dust-free spot.
- Peel the pieces off the wax paper once they feel solid and no longer tacky.
Notes
This project is great for kids and provides a low-pressure environment for creativity. Make sure to supervise younger children closely.
