    One option is to use clear spray paint like the one Krylon makes. You can also use an art sealant, but clear spray paint is more budget-friendly.

    Hairspray is a quick and easy fix for keeping glitter on fabric. If you’re working with paper, use an acid-free artist’s sealant. If you want to seal glitter onto a glass surface, a spray-on high-gloss acrylic sealer is a good bet.

    Spray the length of ribbon with some hairspray or a clear aerosol sealer, which you can get online or from a craft store. Use spray with a glossy finish so you don’t dull the sparkle of the glitter.

    Try mixing the glitter into a medium, like glue or nail polish, then mixing it thoroughly. Then, brush the glitter mixture onto your project.

    You could mix the glitter with something like Vaseline or facial primer to get it to stick.
