How To Use Double Sided Adhesive Paper In Your Glitter Projects

Nikki · October 15, 2013 · 93 Comments

My secret to perfect glitter is….

Many of you know that glitter is not my friend.

In fact, I am the self-proclaimed “world’s worst glitterer.”

I usually get more glitter in my hair and on my worktable, than I do on my project, and after all the frustration I put myself through, it still doesn’t look that good!

Enter double sided adhesive, and problem solved.

Below you’ll find a quick clip of me demonstrating exactly how easy it is to use and how perfectly your glittered designs come out…every time.

Note: The video clip above was taken from my Intro To Your CAMEO Online Class. (That’s why you see me talking to people that are off screen….those were questions posted in the chat by students attending the online class!) We discussed a lot of the basics to getting started with the Silhouette Design Studio software, like drawing basic geometric shapes, replicating and mirroring them, welding letters to make monograms, and tracing images you can find online. Stay tuned for more info on my next online class!

I’ve completely lost myself in my current design. I don’t mean like lost my sense of style, or lost my motivation, or even lost track of what direction I wanted to take this piece. I mean like I literally lost myself. I’ve been in my studio for hours on end, draping, drafting, and editing on repeat. I am a complete mess, in every sense of the word.
