FAQS:
What is German Glass Glitter:
German glass glitter is finely ground crushed glass glitter, coated in real silver and produced in Germany in a region that has been creating crystal for over 100 years. It is used in arts and crafts and decor. It’s more coarse than regular glitter and is not recommended for kids. German glass glitter also develops a unique patina over time, giving it a vintage, retro finish.
How to use German Glass Glitter:
German Glass Glitter adds a touch of sparkle to nearly any creative project. It’s perfect for resin art, handmade cards, and holiday ornaments, as well as for creating dazzling seasonal centerpieces by filling glass vases or highlighting home décor with shimmering color. Breathe new life into old crafts—revamp ceramic figurines, picture frames, or wall art with a glimmering finish. This glitter also works beautifully in wedding and jewelry designs, on silk flowers, polymer clay castings, or as a decorative accent on pinecones and pumpkins for a frosted, jewel-like shimmer.
How to affix and seal German Glass Glitter:
Any white glue that dries clear will keep your glitter in place, such as Heavy Body Gel or Decoupage Varnish and Glue by Pentart. For extra hold, use spray lacquer or urethane after the glue is dry to keep the glitter in place and reduce tarnishing.
Does German Glass Glitter tarnish over time?
Yes. Because it’s coated in real silver, it naturally develops a soft patina as it ages, giving your creations a warm, antique glow that enhances their character and charm.
