Thank you so very much for sharing this with all of us!! Boy am I going to save a lot of money! God bless.

[@NorthernGurl]

This is an excellent idea especially for those, (including me) who are frugal. I may also try this with food colouring. Thanx again for the great tip!

[@robndeb2]

fantastic and like you say it is stunning!

[@connora.702]

Bless your heart, I am working on Christmas Craft show items, and of course I ran out of my Sticklers, gave this a try and I am so grateful - this is a favorite DIY now thank you so very much - I too am not made out of money, so this is perfect!!

[@snowcrystal05]

Love it! It is just as good or even better than stickles. Going to be doing it for sure. TFS Brenda

[@kellyweiskopf4466]

Oh so cool. I've seen these stickles and how much it is thinking why would anyone buy such expensive glitter glue? I understand that the very fine glitter makes a big difference but I like the make your own idea! You're so awesome. Love ya! Hugs 😘

[@DarkPixieTian]

Yorkshire accent rockz! Go Jennings!

[@arlenesolly1978]

Great way to do your own thanks for showing us. Hope you are well Hugs Arlene x

[@becky5824]

I know this is an old video but just as interesting now. I'm going to try this. Thank you Fiona 💖

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Have fun! xx

[@marycarrero8793]

Beautiful Fi ty for the tip❤️💕❤️💕

[@kikidodson4c4l51]

Okay Fiona! Now my brain is full of ideas on different materials to use in the clear glue. When I started with scrapbooking 13 years ago I bought my first Stickles. It did the job, but not really what I imagined when I bought it. But then it never occurred to me that I could make my own. I kept buying it too. What a waste of money! You are great at looking at things from the perspective of how to make it...I appreciate your many talents! I have so many videos to watch so I can catch up to you! Which I never will, but will have fun trying! 😉

[@Rottenest1]

LOVE....and your accent too :)

[@jeanieferretti4203]

Great video! Thank you

[@YvonneG]

thanks for the tip. I am going to have to make this. thanks for sharing

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@123cardmaker My pleasure Donna, nice to share ideas especially when its a cost saving lol :)

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@cheri7495 Its the same as glitter, its actually Holographic glitter lol. PearlEx, mica powders etc are all the same and give a beautiful lustre to your projects :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@stephanoid69 Remember, unless you have the thicker clear glue to mix with the glitter that it would be runnier then the original stickles. I paint mine on and it does the same job! :)

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@ibkristykat I use the cheapest kids glue, it does a fab job!

[@judyanderson7489]

Loved the video. I am all about saving money, and still having a great product. Thanks so much from B.C. Canada. I do Art Journalling and taking a course on Monday. Will be making some and using it on my page. Will pass this along to everyone. Thanks again.. Love the English accent.. I have English/Scottish Ancestors, and plan to go to England/Scotland hopefully again in a couple of years..

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@padime Glad you liked it :)

[@dianeandrews539]

Thank you for all your great videos. And I agree with you about the cost of these items in stores. I like to make my own also. Diane

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@shanjamorjor Fine glitters do work but the holographic is far brighter then ANY other glitter on the market. It's already multi coloured which is why it shines brighter then coloured glitter!!!

[@Mabu14]

Great idea... thanks for sharing this with us!

[@crystaltisher1331]

you are so talented tfs!!!!!!!!! I WAS GONNA BUY A BUNCH MORE STICKLES BUT INSTEAD I JUST DID THIS AND ADDED A FEW DROPS OF THE REINKERS AND NOW I HAVE EVERY COLOR TO MATCH THANKS SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@elena4crafts]

Thank you for ur traditions i will use ur tip tfs

[@Mrsscrapbep]

Great tip!! I'm gone try this..

[@jonsmyth698]

now that is the art of crafting ;) love it\

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@ArtistWoOoOo Try colouring it once its made they look far better than the Stickles you buy :)

[@scrappinrabbit]

Thank you so much - you just saved me a ton of money. Just bought a set of extra fine glitter bottles so will definitely use your technique!

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@cheri7495 Sorry my reply is late I didn't know about this question :( Its fine fine glitter and can be added to clear glue to make stickles xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@kemperneck It's the mind, it never stops working, hence why I hardly sleep hee hee

[@memoriescrafted]

Great tip! tfs, Marlene

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@kraftylicious Airtight containers then when I've finished with a stickles bottle I wash it and add my own lol

[@jendragonfly]

Ohlala, look at the sparkle. I am going to have to get some clear glue, i have some holographic glitter already. Thanks alot.

[@zoilarivera8866]

That's is so cool. Thank you so much, I love the look. Keep the videos coming 😍

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@shanjamorjor You can find the same stuff I use on line and it goes a long way. You don't need much of the Holographic glitter because its fine and far more shimmery then ordinary glitter. Mines called 'Diamond Sparkles, Fairy Daydreams and I've seen it online before when I was looking for a top up jar!!!

[@NailArtQueen]

omg great idea!

[@liztheladybug1]

hi, thank you so much you save me lots and lots of money!!

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Using clear glue leaves no signs of marks, whereas using white glue would and it would far duller etc. xx

[@FrozenAlaska777]

thanks for the share!!~~~

[@Valeriewells1965]

Thank you , I cant afford them either for a tiny bit of shimmer, now I can thanks again !

[@TheArtsAndCraftsLady]

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

[@Shonz14nw]

Hey there, like the camera angle. Much better.

[@RelaxCreatorMary]

amazing!!!im Glitter's fan No1!!this glitter rooooooooooooooooooooooocks!

[@doloresw1537]

thank ypu going to try this but thinking about adding a bit of food coloring (to change color when needed)or ink for color. going to try soon have a few other ideas to add color. thank you

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@scrappinrabbit I make a lot of my own and then I money left for the things I can't make lol xx

[@jiselleceleste]

cool. i sometimes use bling or glitter nail polish instead.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@NorthernGurl Well we have to save a penny wherever possible, it helps to buy other things you can't make yourself lol lol lol

[@padime]

Really nice. TFS :D

[@menashearer9125]

Great idea. I think it would show better if you held it back from the camera. Thanks again.

[@CreativelyInspired]

I love this. I love the shine but using just plain glitter for it sometimes looks more as if my children did it. Lol just a bit much and this is perfect for what I'm looking to do. QUESTION; what would be the difference with clear and white glues? White glue dries clear but does it make it dull or streaky? Not sure what the difference would be. Thx for sharing ;)

[@doloresw1537]

just tought of adding mica powder(for colors) or cheap eyeshadow (breaking a little out to use for color instead of mica powder cheaper) and or acrylic paint for color?? THANK you so much for your idea kind of trying to build on what you already started..

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@memoriescrafted Are you going to try it my good friend??? :)

[@bunie98]

Im totally gonna do this...ths, hugs luane

[@dragonflyer59]

can you use clear nail polish as the base?

[@deedeevill7673]

Can you use glitter made from epsom salt? You can't use Aleene's tacky glue? It does dry clear

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@liztheladybug1 Save where you can as you never know what's around the corner lol

[@ibkristykat]

do you suggest any certain brand of liquid, clear glue that can be found in the US? If I've seen it - I didn't take real notice of it.. (liquid glue like that I mean - other than Elmer's, but.... I think it dries white - unless I'm wrong to the max. Been a LONG time since I've used Elmer's lol. I agree that you Have a great mind --- such great ideas... wow TFS

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@sweetnsassyscraps I think we all do that lol

[@donnaconaway9368]

What brand of clear glue are you using? The clear glue I get is quite expensive and thicker than yours. It probably would be no savings to make my own unless I get a cheaper glue.

[@nancyhoge1066]

I make my own because I that theirs has green glitter in it.

[@RelaxCreatorMary]

@Jennings644 well the fact is that i dont even know what the stickles (have to find a greek-english dictionery lol) but i like it =)

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

@jeannenicholson Anything to help save a penny or two lol

[@leenone7512]

Try photographing your work area instead of your supplies.

[@henna696]

How do I find your shop?

[@helenroberts524]

I love watching these vid's but when they are out of frame it can be annoying Please can you put them in frame.Thanks

[@catherinearnott1595]

Hi there. Could you use holographicembossing powders to do this. please.

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]

Yes you can as long as its fine :) xx

[@JenningsCraftsBoutique]
