Fenella decorated some wooden christmas tree decorations earlier and a lot of the glitter is going to all come off. I was hoping to keep these ornaments for years to come. Any idea if I could spray it with anything to help it stay there a bit better please??? I was thinking hair spray as I know thats what to do with charcoal drawings, or maybe spray mount but wasnt sure if everything will stick to it then. Any ideas please???? Thanks!!!! Xxx
My brain is bubbling with facts!!! hehehe!!! Xx

Spray varnish might do the job, but mostly my experience with glitter is that you just have to live with it! We're usually still sweeping up glitter from Christmas crafts in the summer at Guides! Mum White

paint over the glitter with PVA glue, it will dry clear and keep most ot the glitter on
