Pro Tip 💡
This project can get a little messy once you start adding glitter. When shaking or blowing off the excess, tiny glitter particles can easily end up on your table, clothes, or floor. To make cleanup easier, work over a sheet of paper, tray, or craft mat so you can catch and reuse any leftover glitter.
