    How is glitter made?
    I'm curious. I'd like to see a video of glitter production. Thought it would be enlightening.

    Any of the sparkly kind of stuff used in crafts. Pretty shiney tiny pieces of stuff that people use in art projects. I'm just curious. :) I wanted to watch a video about the production of glitter, but I can't find one.

    Imagine thin strips of plastic being cut into small pieces.

    It (glitter) starts as a sheet. Then cut into strips, and then tiny pieces.
