Glitter - Shiny Pieces of Happiness

The little sparkling dust that makes your projects fabulous begins its journey from a small farm in New Jersey. In 1934 Strong, farmer Henry Rushman accidentally creates shiny particles when cutting thin plastic films.

• copolymer plastic
• aluminum foil
• titanium dioxide

Once the desired color sheets are created, they are cut by special machines into very tiny particles .
