Glitter

Glitter is an eye-catching assortment of flat, reflective particles that bring instant beauty and sparkles to any project. The word “glitter” describes a collection of tiny, shiny pieces—often in gold, black, silver, and a full spectrum of colours—designed to add a decorative touch to crafts, art, clothing, fabric, and even furniture. In the UK and beyond, glitters have become a staple in craft collections, with a proven track record of inspiring creativity for years.

Available in a wide range of pack sizes and types, glitter is a go-to item for card making, scrapbooking, and all kinds of arts and crafts. Whether you’re sprinkling fine glitter onto glue, mixing chunky sparkles with paint, or layering different colours for a custom effect, there’s a variety to suit every project. Many people love to add glitter to clothing and accessories, while others use it to give furniture or home décor a unique, shimmering finish.

Glitter’s versatility extends beyond crafts—it’s a popular ingredient in beauty products like makeup, nail polish, and hair accessories, and features in countless DIY beauty recipes. Over time, the way people use glitter has evolved, with more crafters and artists choosing biodegradable glitter. Made from natural materials, biodegradable glitter is designed to biodegrade, offering a more eco-friendly way to add shine without harming the environment.

No matter your experience level, adding glitter is a proven way to bring personality and style to your projects. With so many colours, sizes, and finishes to choose from, it’s easy to find the perfect glitter to match your creative vision. For anyone looking to expand their craft collection, glitter remains a must-have item—ready to add a touch of sparkle to every idea, every time.
