FAQs
What is the difference between Stickles Dry Fine Glitter and glitter glue?
Stickles Dry Fine Glitter is loose glitter that requires a separate adhesive for application, offering more control over placement and texture. Glitter glue contains the glitter suspended within an adhesive medium, ready for direct application.
Can I use this glitter on fabric?
Yes, this glitter can be used on fabric. Apply it over a suitable fabric adhesive, such as Inkssentials Wonder Tape, or a fabric glue.
Is the Paprika color suitable for all types of projects?
The Paprika color is a vibrant red and is very versatile. It can be used for holiday themes, adding warmth to nature-inspired projects, or as a bold accent color in abstract art.
How much glitter is in one jar?
Each shaker jar contains 3/4 oz (21.2g) of Stickles Dry Fine Glitter.
Is this glitter safe for children to use?
Yes, the glitter is acid-free and non-toxic, making it safe for use in crafts for all ages, though adult supervision is recommended for younger children to manage potential mess.
How do I clean up spilled glitter?
For best results, clean up spilled glitter immediately with a dry brush or a vacuum cleaner. Avoid using a damp cloth as this can spread the glitter and create a sticky mess.
Can I mix this glitter with other Ranger products?
Absolutely. It is specifically designed to work well with Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder and Inkssentials Wonder Tape, but can be used with most Ranger adhesives and mediums that provide a tacky surface.
Troubleshooting
Glitter not adhering well
Ensure you are using a sufficiently tacky adhesive. Reapply adhesive and try again. Make sure the glitter is applied while the adhesive is still wet.
Glitter is clumping
This usually indicates exposure to moisture. Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use and store in a dry environment. If clumping has occurred, try to break up clumps with a dry tool before application.
Glitter scatters uncontrollably
Use a craft mat or tray when applying to contain stray glitter. Apply with a gentle dusting motion or use a brush to direct the glitter onto the adhesive.
Shaker jar nozzle is clogged
Gently tap the jar to dislodge any potential clogs. If necessary, use a fine-tipped tool, like a needle or toothpick, to clear the opening before use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. The glitter is ready to use directly from the 3/4 oz shaker jar.
Compatibility: This glitter is designed to be used with various adhesives. Optimal results are achieved with Ranger Sticky Embossing Powder and Inkssentials Wonder Tape. It can also be used with other liquid adhesives, double-sided tapes, and mediums that provide a tacky surface.
Care: Store the shaker jar in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent moisture from clumping the glitter and to avoid accidental spills. Clean any spilled glitter immediately using a dry brush or vacuum cleaner to prevent scattering. Ensure the nozzle of the shaker jar remains clear; if clogged, gently tap the jar or use a fine needle to clear the opening.
