Thank you for including the recipe. I have been thinking about trying
this. Question: does it have to be elmer's glue and does it have to be
white glue. Elmers has a school glue that is clear blue with glitter
that I thought might be fun. Also, woul plain hair gel work? most body
glitter is pretty much just hair gel with color, scent and glitter. I
make my own body glitter using hair gel. makes me very popular with
the nieces!
thanks for any help with this
