Glitter Decorative Paper

Glitter Decorative Paper - Sparkling Sheets for Eye-Catching Projects

Glitter decorative paper is coated with a layer of fine glitter that reflects light and creates an intense sparkling effect. Its surface shimmers with thousands of tiny reflective particles, attracting attention and giving projects a festive, glamorous character. The range includes glitter papers in two versions: standard (210g/m², packs of 5 A4 sheets) and self-adhesive (150g/m², packs of 10 A4 sheets), available in gold, silver, red, green and mixed colour sets.

What Is Glitter Decorative Paper?

Glitter decorative paper is paper with a single-sided glitter coating. Glitter consists of fine metallic or plastic particles with a high-shine finish that reflect light from different angles, creating a distinctive shimmering effect. The glitter coating is permanently bonded to the paper base, so the glitter does not shed during normal use.

Glitter paper differs from metallic papers such as Stardream or Aster Metallic in the intensity of its effect. Metallic papers have a subtle satin sheen, while glitter paper sparkles clearly and intensely - each glitter particle reflects light individually, creating the effect of thousands of tiny mirrors.

The single-sided glitter coating means that only one side of the paper, the front, is sparkling. The reverse side is smooth and matte, making it easier to glue, write on and print on the back.

Glitter Decorative Paper - Properties

Intense Sparkle

The glitter-coated surface reflects light far more intensely than metallic or pearlescent papers. The effect is visible even in low light, while under bright lighting the paper truly shimmers and sparkles. This makes projects made from glitter paper highly eye-catching and helps them stand out from other materials.

Tactile Texture

The glitter surface has a noticeable texture - the fine glitter particles create a gently rough finish. This adds an extra sensory dimension to projects, making them not only visually striking but also interesting to the touch.

Durable Coating

Modern glitter papers feature a coating that is permanently bonded to the paper base. The glitter does not shed during normal handling, cutting with scissors or folding. However, heavy rubbing or scratching may dislodge some of the glitter particles, so the paper should be handled with care.

Rigidity

The glitter papers in the range are available in paper weights of 150g/m² (self-adhesive version) and 210g/m² (standard version). The 210g/m² paper provides excellent rigidity - it holds its shape well, resists bending and is suitable for freestanding decorative elements. The 150g/m² version is slightly thinner, although the adhesive layer adds extra stiffness.

Glitter Decorative Paper - Working Techniques

Cutting

Glitter paper can be cut with scissors or a craft knife. When using scissors, a few glitter particles may come loose, so work over a mat or surface that is easy to clean. For precise cutting, use a sharp knife and a metal ruler.

Cutting plotters such as Silhouette and Cricut generally work well with glitter paper, but check compatibility and use the correct settings. Some machines may require special blades or mats designed for glitter materials.

Gluing

Standard glitter paper without an adhesive backing requires a suitable glue. Recommended options include:

Double-sided adhesive tape - clean, precise and will not soak through the paper.

Spray adhesive - provides even coverage and allows large surfaces to be bonded quickly.

Scrapbooking glue - specialist adhesives designed for decorative papers.

Avoid water-based glues, such as PVA or office glue, as they may dampen and damage the glitter surface or soak through the paper.

Self-adhesive glitter paper does not require additional glue - simply peel away the silicone-coated backing and apply it to the chosen surface.

Folding and Scoring

Glitter paper can be folded, but sharp folds may cause the glitter coating to crack or shed along the fold line. For clean folds, score the paper first with a scoring tool. Pressing the fold line before bending helps to minimise the risk of cracking.

Printing

The glitter side of the paper is not suitable for printing, as its texture and shine prevent ink or toner from adhering correctly. Printing is possible on the smooth reverse side if required by the project.

Writing

Writing on the glitter surface with standard pens is difficult because the glitter particles prevent the ink from being applied evenly. Permanent markers or gel pens may be used, although the result can be uneven. Writing is easy on the smooth reverse side.

Mixed Colours

Mixed colour sets allow you to create colourful and varied projects. They are ideal when you need several colours for a single project or want to experiment with different combinations.

Glitter Decorative Paper - Practical Tips

Storage

Store glitter paper flat in a dry place. Avoid rubbing the sheets against one another, as this may cause the glitter to shed. Ideally, keep the paper in its original packaging or place protective sheets between individual sheets.

Cleaning Up After Use

Glitter tends to spread, and loose particles may stick to hands, clothing and work surfaces. Work over a mat or surface that is easy to clean. After finishing, wipe the area with a damp cloth to collect any loose glitter particles.

Protecting Finished Projects

Projects made from glitter paper should be protected against abrasion. A spray varnish, either matte or gloss, can be used to seal the surface. When framing finished work, use a glazed frame to protect it from being touched.
