Does anyone have any tips for containing glitter?
My grandkids and I are going to be doing a project using glitter. I'm looking for tips on how to contain it. I plan to put down an old plastic tablecloth and use a cheap disposable aluminum roasting pan to help contain it, but what about after it's glued on? The glitter will be sprinkled on pine cones. Any suggests will be appreciated.

Use a a spray on glue if possible, unless you are just doing the tips. Shake the container of glitter over the pinecones, making sure they are in the roasting pan. Then when the glue is dry, shake off the glitter into the pan, Bend a corner and pour the excess glitter back into the container. I'd put the glitter into shakers first to help contain it and I'd also use disposable pie pans as they are easier to bend and control to pour the glitter back into the container. Glitter comes off plastic better than cloth, so how about using a cheap plastic tablecloth instead?
Ha! I was going to suggest any of the dollar store aluminum or plastic pans or containers. Once completed and setting out to dry, I would still use some sort of box or plate or tray to rest them in until the glue is dry. When dry, you can spray with hair spray or one of the commercial glitter setting products from any craft or hobby store. Yeah, glitter, you will be washing out of your hair and vacuuming up at July 4th holiday . . . Just like real Christmas tree needles, they hide and jump out 2 seconds before fancy company arrives . . . 🦃🎄
Naomie's idea of using hair spray or a commercial glitter setting spray is perfect after the glue dries. It will keep much of the glitter from coming off. Have fun with the grands.
