Have some cool stamps, but want to do something new with them?  Try using glitter.

While on a shopping trip at Michael’s, I noticed some Martha Stewart glitter stamping sets.  They came with glue, stamps, very fine glitter, and a glue pad.  While the glue pad would be very handy for stamps, the rest is something that you can put together, and in fact, might already have.

To start, you’ll need some VERY fine glitter.  I cannot stress how fine this should be.  School craft glitter won’t work, because it will fill in all the small details.  Also, the best ones are going to be stamps that don’t have a huge amount of detail.  Simple ones will look the best.

Pour some glue on a small plate, and make sure it spreads out.  Lightly dip your stamp into the glue, the same as you would with an ink pad.  Stamp it onto the paper, sprinkle on some glitter, then tap the extra off.  Easy enough, and very cute.
