    I think it is great for anyone to be resourceful and thrifty. Homemade of many things is great!I do oppose of anyone not warning all, that if digested there are medical concerns. I am very child minded and to comfort also. Call me overprotective , others have and it doesn't bother me.Is there anyway you can put an ALERT POSTING... glitters should be avoided with al the craft items out there to use. If glitter gets into ones eyes, of any age child, youth or adult, it can cause permanent damage to the retina. A doctors nightmare.Goggles should be used and with a generous amount of glue, glue that will bond like no homemade glue can..any glitter that falls off woule even be more abrasive to the eye area.Accidents do happen!Than you
