Amount of Glitter to Mix in Resin

Recommended Glitter Quantities

For most crafting purposes, begin with around 5–8g of glitter per 1kg of resin. This range gives subtle shimmer without overloading the mixture, allowing the light to catch the glitter pieces beautifully. If you prefer a bolder look, gradually increase the amount in small increments, mixing thoroughly after each adjustment.

Mixing and Adjusting for Best Results

Add glitter to your mixed resin slowly, stirring gently to prevent bubbles and ensure even distribution. Take care not to exceed recommended ratios, as adding too much glitter may affect the resin’s clarity or curing process. Testing a small batch first can help you gauge the ideal intensity for your project.

• Use clear resin for maximum depth and effect.
• Different glitters—like the Rainbow Holographic Glitter—offer unique finishes, so experiment to find your favourite style.

When to Pay Attention to Glitter Load

If you’re making resin jewellery, transparent castings, or decorative pieces where clarity is key, start conservatively. Denser glitter applications suit opaque backgrounds, while more translucent projects benefit from a lighter touch.
