Body Glitter Recipe

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make your own body glitter using this simple recipe.

Materials Needed:

  • Aloe Vera Gel
  • Glitter
  • Food Coloring (optional)
  • Small container (recycle old makeup containers or 35mm film containers, or look in stores that carry beads, crafts, or fishing tackle)

Instructions:
Fill your container about 3/4 full with the aloe vera gel. If you are using food coloring, mix a few drops at a time in with your gel until you get the desired color. Stir in a sprinkling of glitter at a time to avoid clumps. Add as much or as little glitter as you like.

You can try larger glitter and even small shapes such as stars; or, for a more shimmering look, use fine glitter.
