Stickles Glitter Glue has a translucent colored base with sparkles suspended inside and comes in a fine-tip bottle for precise placement. Glitter Gel is thicker, more opaque and gives heavier coverage. Both add sparkle, but the choice depends on whether you want light, precise sparkle (glitter glue) or bold, textured coverage (glitter gel).

FAQs
What is the difference between Stickles Glitter Glue and Stickles Glitter Gel?
Does Stickles glitter fall off or make a mess?
Not at all! Stickles glitter sticks where you put it, and the small bottles with fine tips make it super easy to control. Even after 25+ years, crafters rave that it never flakes and doesn’t leave a mess. This is a huge advantage over loose glitter.
Which Stickles color is best for adding sparkle without changing the base color?
For sparkle that won’t alter your project’s color, reach for the clear or neutral shades like Diamond, crystal, twinkle or listen. Diamond even has multi-colored flecks for extra shimmer, while Crystal is perfect for subtle shine. These are great starter colors if you’re experimenting or layering over existing inks or paints.
How long does Stickles take to dry?
Dry time depends on thickness: thin layers take 15–30 minutes, heavier layers can take up to 24 hours. Avoid handling, stacking or mailing until fully set. For faster results, use a heat tool on low from a distance, but keep it far enough to prevent bubbling. Applying in thin layers helps your sparkle set beautifully without warping your project.
