Glitter glue is a premixed blend of adhesive and glitter. This sparkling combination helps to limit the mess caused by sprinkling loose glitter onto glue applications, along with creating a better seal and reducing material waste. It’s also useful in adding pizzazz to scrapbooks and cards, embellishing crafts and decorations, or making a shimmering homemade slime. If you love a little glitter and shine, our picks below will help you find the best glitter product for your project needs.Â
