The other day while working on a project, I decided to use this paper that I *love* but because it had glitter that comes off, my adhesive would not stick. In fact, I tried several adhesives...all with no luck. Even my ATG was no match.
Not wanting to throw out my pretty paper, I thought there HAS to be a solution. And then it came to me...I wonder what would happen if I put a thin coat of Mod Podge over it? And so, using just a cheap foam brush, I put some all over my sheet of paper.
As you can see from the picture, the Mod Podge is white when you first apply it - but it dries clear.
I'm happy to report that IT WORKED! The glitter is a bit more understated than it once was. But, now it also has the most beautiful sheen to the paper as well. (I'm sorry - I tried but I couldn't quite capture it on camera). But it does work. So if you have papers where the glitter keeps falling off, this might be worth a try. I used the gloss finish and LOVE the results!

Awesome tip! I love when others share solutions to obnoxious problems (I hate how the glitter papers shed - I'll have to try your simple fix!)
Thanks so much!!!!

Wonderful tip. I have been wondering what to do with paper that no adhesive will stick too.
TFS!
