Crayola Glitter Glue
I had the misfortune the other day to accidentally dye all my girlfriends underwear pink! She hates pink! WIth a passion! Needless to say she was not best pleased. I did try to hide it by just hanging it all up to dry and hoping she wouldn't notice, but alas, she did. Oh boy she noticed.
So I felt that I needed to make up for my terrible (and indeed stupid) mistake.
I racked my brains for a nice way of apologising, and decided I would make her a card to say sorry (soppy I am).
Off I trundled to the shop to try and find some suitable supplies that would help me make her a lovely card.
I picked up some plain white card, and then noticed these Crayola glitter glue sticks and thought that they might be just the special touch I needed to really get the message across how sorry I was.

Why did I buy them?
Well good question. I am a 26 year old guy, so glitter glue is hardly at the top of my list of things to buy, but I did really want this card to be very special. More to the point, it was an impulse buy. I just happened to see them and thought they would be nice.
How much did I pay?
Well mine cost £4.99 for a pack of 9, which at the time I didnt think was too bad considering it was a last minute purchase so I didnt shop around for them, but looking around elsewhere (ebay etc) I see that this price is probably about right. I am sure you can get cheaper versions of these but Crayola is bound to be a bit more expensive as it is a much better known name.
What did I use them for?
Well I could think of many things that these would be useful for, but I printed a card on the computer and then went over the text with these glitter glues to make it stand out and add a personal touch to my card.
Easy to use?
Yes and no. Yes mainly, pretty self explanatory but you just squeeze the tube and squirt the glitter and glue out to wherever you want it. The difficult bit is trying to achieve any form of accuracy as the glue is quite thick so it was hard to do my lettering properly, although these would be ideal if you were to colour in a big block or larger lettering or something like that.
Drying time?
Well, the pack says dries within 30 minutes, I found that my card took nearly 2 hours to dry, but this may be because I used quite a bit I don't know.
Would I buy them again?
Absolutely! Although there is loads left in the ones I have so these will last me for many sorry cards to come :)
Blurb from the pack

Do not use pre-wash or chlorine bleach
Wash immediately in hot water cycle
Repeat laundering on severe stains
Keep away from porous surfaces such as wood, matt paint, wall and floor coverings or materials that cannot be laundered.
Anything I need to warn you about?
Unfortunately yes. Considering these glitter glue sticks are designed for children, I was shocked to find a tiny tine stopper in the top of each of the tubes about the size of a small sunflower seed. I should imagine this would pose a choking risk to small children.
