Um, OK. So in the past few days I’ve shared my unabashed love for Mod Podge (satin and glossy), shared my new appreciation for Mod Podge Shimmer and now….buckle your seat belt…there’s GLITTER MP, too!
It has a lot in common with it’s other Mod Podge bretheren. Just to recap:
- It’s a glue, a finish, and a sealer
- It has a mild, distinctive odor.
- Has a tendency to show brushmarks. (Use a sponge-type brush to help this.)
- Has the viscosity of honey.
- Can be tacky to the touch when it dries. (But a quick coat of clear acrylic spray remedies this.)
- Non-toxic, safe for the kids.
- Works on any porous surface- paper, wood, cardboard, chipboard, fabric, cork, and more!
- Starts off opaque, but dries clear.
I’m guessing I don’t even need to TELL you how great it is to have the glitter built right into Mod Podge- it eliminates a whole step! And the more layers you put on, the greater the glitter-factor. Check out this video to see how it looks on different papers:
Good stuff!! I think Mod Podge Glitter is a MUST for the winter holidays- it’ll be so great for decoupaged ornaments, accents on scrapbook pages, and more! Here’s a wooden star I painted with one coat of Gesso and TWO coats of Glitter MP….
Glitter is predominantly Gold with some rainbow colors mixed in.

I would love to try this on Christmas projects!

HUGE difference! “Shimmer” is like fine mica particles- “Glitter” is definitely GLITTER!!! I love them both, but for different applications.

I would use the glitter MP for this year’s family ornaments.
Each year, I craft an ornament for each member of my family with their name and the year to remember the holidays and our celebrations.
Thank you for the opportunity!

Every year I give my 5 kids ornaments with the year on. Someday I picture giving them a box filled with their ornaments when they have their first tree. Some years I buy them, some years I make them. This sounds like it would be the perfect topper to handmade ornaments this year.

Are you kidding?
What won’t I use it on?
Haaa haa.
I double love it.

I’d use it on christmas cards!

I enjoyed the test swatch video for the comparisons – thanks! I’d use the glitter mp on snowflakes & hang in my window for Christmas

love this glitter glue for my Christmas ornaments craft.

I didn’t quite get the difference between the glitter and the shimmer… I need to take a good look. But they look great and I’d love to use them

Ohh, I’d love to give this a try, glitter is always good!
Love, Alex

I’m making black Moravian stars for Halloween decorations; I usually dip them in parafin, but I’ve been thinking Mod Podge instead. Glitter would be fun!

Thanks so much for the review – I haven’t tried this one yet and you’ve convinced me to give it a try
October 18, 2010 at 5:26 am
Wow, love this. I would use it for my upcoming Christmas projects, how awesome with the glitter
October 18, 2010 at 9:20 am
I’d use it to make holiday decor, which I give as gifts! Also, it would be great for an initial sign for my daughter’s room!

I am looking forward to using Mod Podge glimmer for some Fall crafts! Can’t wait!

Does anyone know if you can use mod podge on glitter and/or raised paper?
November 15, 2010 at 9:04 am
Sure you can! I use it on embossed paper. But you would be well-off being generous and/or spritzing the paper with water first, to help it absorb the MP and avoid buckling and bubbles!
