Glitter Glue Resist Background Technique

Who doesn’t love glitter glue?


I do! I do!

And most of us have at least a few dollar store tubes in our stash of craft supplies.

Most of us have watercolors too.


And that’s all you need for this fun and easy background technique.

I used to go to Michaels all the time and buy their glitter glue for $1. But since I lost those supplies in the forest fire last year, I’ve bought some Elmer's tubes and like them a lot.

Who can tell me how long they last?
