Craft Glitter: Chunky, Fine & Holographic

Start with grain size, measured in microns. Fine glitter (.004 inch / about 100 micron) gives a smooth, dense sparkle ideal for nail art, tumbler base coats, and resin; chunky glitter (.040 inch or larger, often a mix of cuts) reads bold on ornaments, signs, and shaker cards. Match the cut and finish to the look: metallic, holographic, iridescent (color-shift), opal, and matte all catch light differently. For drinkware and anything skin-adjacent, ask whether the glitter is solvent-resistant polyester and whether a cosmetic-grade option exists. Eco-minded crafters can look for biodegradable cellulose glitter. Most sellers package by weight or volume; common sizes are 1 oz bags, 2 oz shaker jars, and 4-8 oz bulk pouches, with custom blends mixed in small batches. Single 2 oz jars run $4-$10, curated multi-color sets $12-$35, and bulk bags $15-$40. In-stock jars usually ship in 3-7 business days; hand-mixed custom blends take 1-2 weeks.
