Horizon Glitter Glue from Walmart

Now let’s talk about the Glitter Glue. I can sum it up by saying it was such fun. Its label said easy to use, which it was. I squeezed the bottle and it smoothly delivered wonderful green sparkly goodness. The search for the right glitter started at the local Walmart where I found Glitter Glue manufactured by Horizon Group. They had colors specific to Christmas, such as red, green, and silver. I choose the green as a test subject for my particular craft idea.

The glue was thick enough that it stayed right where I put it and the color was bright. I really liked how it looked on the edges of the ornament.

After decorating the edges with the glue I squeezed out some on wax paper and let dry for an additional project. Pintrest has some great ideas for glitter glue and I think it is fun for all ages because the Glitter Glue I used was non-toxic.

The Glitter Glue is a much better idea and much less messy than using white glue and glitter separately. For those of you who love glitter without the mess I recommend The Glitter Glue as an affordable way to decorate only costing around $3 for a 2.98 fl. oz. bottle. 

Update:

I ran out of the Glitter Glue that I purchased from Walmart and bought some Elmer’s Classic Glitter Glue in blue and pink from Walgreens. 

It is also non-toxic and washable, which makes it great for kid’s projects. 

The colors were a bit more pastel than The Glitter Glue from Walmart and perhaps not as sparkly or impactful.  When it dried it was more brittle than the other glue, which made it more difficult to do as many projects with. It was on sale for 2@ $5.00 for a 6 oz. bottle. A pretty sale price but the product was not my favorite. 

Okay, it looks a little bit like my 7 year old nephew did it, but whatever, its the experience that matters.

FloraCraft Glitter Spray Review

Move over Martha Stewart here we come. The holidays bring out an inner craft person in all of us and suddenly we find ourselves frantically searching Pinterest for our next big project. I know firsthand that there is no project that cannot benefit from a little, or a lot of glitter. 

I have often ran with the idea that if a little glitter is good than a lot of glitter is better.  This applies to a many things in my life, but then that is a story for another day.

The search for the right glitter started at the local Walmart where I found Glitter Glue manufactured by Horizon Group. They had colors specific to Christmas, such as red, green, and silver. I choose the green as a test subject for my particular craft idea. See my review of the glitter glue HERE. While I was there I spotted a can of spray glitter from FloraCraft and thought, hmm what could be better than a glitter spray.

My test subjects were some origami ornaments made from old book pages. I liked the way they looked plain but knew a little sparkle would make them pop.

I used the spray glitter first. It was a multi-colored glitter spray in Iridescent Christmas colors, which would match the rest of my decorations. The label said it had a low odor but I took it outside just to be safe.  The smell of the spray was not too bad but I would still recommend using it in a well-ventilated area. I sprayed it liberally on my project and stepped back to admire the results. Nothing is what I saw, hardly any sparkle at all. What a disappointment. 

Can you see the glitter? Me neither. Wait I think there might be a slight glissen or not.

I then decided to let it dry thinking that the sparkle would suddenly appear during the drying process. No such luck. I literally could barely see any glimmer at all even on close inspection.

Still nothing, I had to add more glitter to make me happy. You can see that picture below.

  I would not buy this product again because there was no real difference between before spraying and after. The label said Fun Spray Glitter, but all I got out of this product was a waste of time and money. The 3.45 oz. can was about $6 of which is money that I will never see again.

I had to use glitter and white glue to get the pop I was really looking for. I think it looks pretty good.
