FAQs

Is this glitter washable?

Once permanently dry, it can withstand light wiping with a damp cloth. However, it is not designed for submersion in water or machine washing. Durability on fabric depends heavily on the fabric type and how it's applied and cared for afterwards.

Can I use this on fabric?

Yes, it can be used on fabric. For best results and durability, ensure the fabric is pre-washed and dried, and apply the glitter in a thin, even layer. Consider sealing with a fabric medium or sealant if extensive washing is anticipated, though test first.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying time varies based on application thickness and environmental conditions. A thin layer may dry to the touch in about 30-60 minutes, while a thicker application can take several hours to fully cure.

Does the glitter flake off?

No, the professional-grade formula is designed to be permanent and adhere strongly once dry, minimizing flaking.

Can I mix different colors of Twinkles?

Yes, you can mix different DecoArt Craft Twinkles colors to create custom shades or layered effects. Ensure each layer is sufficiently dry before applying the next for best results.

Is this glitter non-toxic?

DecoArt products are generally non-toxic when used as directed. Always refer to the product label for specific safety information and recommendations for use, especially around children.

Troubleshooting

Glitter appears clumpy or unevenly distributed

Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly before application. If clumping persists, try applying a thinner layer or use a separate brush for smoother distribution.

Product is too thick to apply smoothly

Shake the bottle vigorously. If it remains very thick, a tiny amount of water can be added, but this may slightly dilute the glitter concentration. Test on a scrap surface first.

Glitter is not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface is properly prepared (clean and dry). For non-porous surfaces, consider applying a primer or sealant before the glitter.

Color seems faded after drying

This is unlikely with the professional formula. Ensure adequate glitter was applied and that the surface underneath is not interfering with the color perception. Drying in direct sunlight for extended periods might affect some colors over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Shake Well: Before each use, shake the bottle vigorously to ensure the glitter is evenly distributed throughout the liquid.
  2. Prepare Surface: Ensure the surface you are applying to is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease.
  3. Apply: Use the applicator tip or a brush to apply a smooth, even layer of glitter. Avoid applying too thickly in one go, as this can lead to uneven drying.

Compatibility:

This craft glitter is designed to adhere well to a variety of porous and non-porous surfaces including:

  • Paper and Cardstock
  • Wood
  • Canvas
  • Ceramics
  • Glass
  • Dried or sealed surfaces

*Note: For non-porous surfaces like glass or metal, pre-priming or sealing may improve adhesion and longevity.*

Care:

  • Drying: Allow projects to dry completely. Drying time can vary from 30 minutes to several hours depending on the thickness of application and environmental humidity.
  • Cleaning: Once dry and permanent, the glittered surface can typically be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or soaking.
  • Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly closed to prevent drying out.
