So, we all
know that the issue with glitter (and the number one reason that the parents of
my students say, “Thanks so much for using sparkles here, because we don’t at
home”) is the mess. You can clean as much as you’d like when the art activity
is over, but you’re still going to find random sparkling pieces everywhere from
your child’s hair to the floorboards for what seems like weeks.
I’m still
yet to find a solution to the mess factor. But, I didn’t happen upon one way to
use glitter that doesn’t involve that added goopiness of glue. Obviously you
need some sort of medium to hold the sparkly stuff in place. School glue is the
obvious choice (I’ve also used paint, ice and modeling clay). This time we’re using
tape. How? Double-sided tape! It perfectly holds those little shining bits on
to just about anything (we used paper, craft foam and even a mason jar!) and is
much easier than getting out the glue. This is such as simple craft that you’ll
shake your head thinking, “I can’t believe I haven’t been using double-sided
tape with glitter all along.”
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
Glitter
·
Double-sided
tape
·
Anything
that tape will stick to – This can be plain old paper, foam, felt, tissue
paper, glass jars, plastic bottles, wood, and the list goes on and on.
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Peel the tape off and stick it onto
the paper (or anything else you’re using as a surface). Your child can make
sparkly lines, shapes, patterns, letters or words. We made letters with card
stock paper and craft foam.
2. Sprinkle the glitter on top of the
tape. Try not to touch the top of the tape too much. This tends to make it less
sticky.
3. Shake off the excess onto a piece of
paper or into a bag to use later.
4. Repeat with new surfaces. Here’s a
plastic Easter egg:
Here’s a glittered mason jar that we use to hold the extra sparkles:
