Clean up glitter with ease

1. Knead playdough into a ball and pat the mess with it. The glitter will stick to it, and you’ll have glittery playdough!

2. A lint roller works well to remove spilled glitter from fabric or furniture. No lint roller? Just wrap some tape—sticky side out—around your fingers and blot the mess repeatedly.

3. To remove glitter stuck to skin, try coconut oil or oil-based makeup remover on a cotton ball.
