Expert Answer

One option is to use clear spray paint like the one Krylon makes. You can also use an art sealant, but clear spray paint is more budget-friendly.

Hairspray is a quick and easy fix for keeping glitter on fabric. If you’re working with paper, use an acid-free artist’s sealant. If you want to seal glitter onto a glass surface, a spray-on high-gloss acrylic sealer is a good bet.

Spray the length of ribbon with some hairspray or a clear aerosol sealer, which you can get online or from a craft store. Use spray with a glossy finish so you don’t dull the sparkle of the glitter.

Try mixing the glitter into a medium, like glue or nail polish, then mixing it thoroughly. Then, brush the glitter mixture onto your project.
