Glitter to add to Base

Where can you get Glitter to add to Base. I recently purchased some Glitter but I had to buy 10 lbs. I was thinking surely you can get it in a smaller quantity.

There are a few suppliers who will do that, but you pay a premium to get it.

Look for specialty product supplies in the MAJOR screenprint areas.  On the west coast I know there is a couple out of L.A.

We've bought our glittler and flakes through rutland in the past. In fact we just had to do this for super bowl shirts(make our own metallic)

for the 10# orders, you're probably thinking of Meadowbrook.

the cost of 10# is only about 2x the cost of buying 1# of the stuff from union/rutland/lancer....

so other than the hassle factor of having 10# of glitter laying around, overall it's MUCH cheaper.

Maybe try this site: https://www.d3ipinc.com/en/shop-online/wholesale-glitter/nylon-ultra-soft-flock-1-7-dtex-0-5mm-sold-by-pound-26-detail.html

A customer of mine bought some from here and he said he was able to buy it buy the pound and for roughly $23. They are located in Garden Grove, CA.

Hope this helps!
