remove glitter with play dough!
—
i have been told, more than once, but less than a million times
that people in my presence
inexplicably end up with glitter
stuck to them or on their food or in unexpectedly odd places
or see traces of it stuck to my face or hair or feet
while it is true that i do enjoy a great love
of the sparkling wonder that is glitter
i know there are those of you
who may need an easy way
to rid yourself, or your things, or your cake, or your abode
of all that remains
i have a fine gift for you
an easy and magical method to clean it up
you are welcome.

clearing up glitter can be tough. it turns out that there’s one easy way to get rid of those sparkles that spread everywhere. just grab some play dough and press it over the affected areas. that’s pretty much it.

That’s a great tip, Beth. Our powerful vacuum cleaner does not manage to pick up glitter from the carpet. Until recently, we could still see some shining that had fallen off of Christmas cards! Each tiny piece had to be removed by hand. I will need to buy some play-dough though. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Play dough was one of the best inventions ever when I was young. I don’t know if it is still “in play” as much as when I was little, but it does serve as a handy “glitter goner” doesn’t it?

Oh my gosh this might just be the best “how to” post ever!! Everyone that knows me knows that I don’t like glitter. If you were to ask my grandkids to name something I don’t like, they would all say glitter at the same time. Lol 😁 🤣 😆. I do think it looks pretty on certain crafts its just the mess I don’t like.
