    Hi Ginger. You can use any kind of clear drying glue for the areas you want to add glitter. A cleaner, easier method is to use glitter paint. Either way, use a spray varnish to seal the canvas when done and completely dry.😊

    clear elmers glue; just paint glue on where you want it, apply/pour glitter on top of glue then tip painting over/upside down to dump off excess then turn rightside up & let dry you'll need to clear coat it if you don't want it shedding glitter all the time you can use clear spray or even put clear elmers over it really depends how big the areas are.small ones -elmers over lrg spray on clear so you don't drag the glitter all over.glitter paint is less glittery since the glitter is in paint and not sitting on top.
