It is possible to decorate your clothing with glitter, but it can get messy.If you want to fix the glitter, try using fabric glue.To avoid rubbing the glitter or melting the glue, wear and wash carefully.
Step 1: Buy a spray.
Most brands can be used for a quick fix.The glitter in place on the garment will not hold up forever if hair-spray is used.For a more permanent fix, you may need to use fabric glue or a transparent iron-on transfer.
Step 2: Prepare to spray by removing loose glitter.
Shake the piece of clothing to get rid of glitter.A towel should be laid on a dry surface.The clothes should be put on the towel flat.If there is a crease in the garment, the hairspray can fix it.If the garment is wrinkly, consider ironing it.
Step 3: Put the spray over the glitter.
Make sure you don't miss any spots by applying a thick layer.If you notice areas where the glitter is loose, give them extra attention.
Step 4: Allow the spray to dry on the fabric.
There are instructions for drying on the bottle.It is advisable to allow slightly more time than the package calls for.Pick up the garment after the glitter has dried and shake it lightly.You may need to reapply glitter if it falls off.It's probably okay to wear, but be gentle.
Step 5: Fix the glitter with fabric glue.
You can sprinkle glitter onto fabric glue to stick it to the garment, and then coat the glitter in turn with a water-and-fabric-glue mixture to give it a protective outer layer.A coating of glue can help freeze individual particles of glitter, which often flakes off when it brushes against things.
Step 6: A glue-and-water mixture is needed.
First, add water to the fabric glue.It is easy to apply with a paintbrush.The mixture shouldn't be pasty or thin.
Step 7: The glitter should be brushed onto the mixture.
You can put a newspaper at the back of the fabric you want to work on.Use a synthetic painting brush to apply glue to the glitter areas.As you brush on the mixture, make sure that the glitter doesn't come off.All of the glitter needs to be covered.
Step 8: Allow the glue to dry for 24 hours.
The garment should be laid out in a warm spot.If there aren't anywrinkles in the fabric, the glue may preserve them for a long time.Your clothing should be ready to wear once the glue-water coating is dry.
Step 9: Allow it to wash gently.
You have more control if you wash the fabric yourself.The fabric glue is synthetic, so it shouldn't run off when you wash it.The glue, glitter, and fabric will be softer on hand-wash.Do not knead the fabric too much.Don't wash in the machine.Cool or warm water can be used.It is possible for hot water to loosen the glue.
Step 10: The fabric should be air-dried.
Lay it out on the flat surface or hang it up on a clothesline.As the garment rubs up against other clothing, a tumble-dry washing machine may tumble the glitter away.The intense heat of many quick-drying techniques can loosen fabric glue and cause glitter to flake.
Step 11: Carefully wear your garment.
Don't rub too hard or scratch on the glitter, it might rub it off.Don't wear it too often, but keep it for special occasions.You will need to wash your glittery garment more often if you wear it frequently.Buying a jar of glitter is a good way to fix an outfit.You may need more fabric glue.These things can be found at any arts-and-crafts store.
