DIY tube glitter bracelets /necklace - NO GLUE needed - Dollar Tree find - Tube glitter or confetti curls - Fun and easy craft idea

This post may contain affiliate links. Click here to learn more.

I made seed bead bracelets recently and went down memory lane on how I loved making crafts as a kid. I used to make bracelets with fish tank tubing, air connectors, and filled with seed beads. The connectors never fit right but I found some tubing that fits the connectors perfectly!!

Tube glitter ???? I don't know how I've never heard or seen this but I instantly bought a bunch.

I found the tubing at Home Depot and the connectors on Amazon.

I tried to order the tubing online but it had small black writing with the product info all over the tubing. That doesn't make for pretty bracelets.

Tube glitter from Dollar Tree.

I found these multi color packages of tube glitter at Dollar Tree for only $1!!!

The SAME EXACT glitter (and so much less) would be $12 at Michael's for three colors.

Measure tubing around your wrist for size and cut.

I made several at 8" long.

Insert the connector.

Now the fun part! Fill with glitter, beads, sprinkles, chunky glitter, tube glitter, jewels, confetti, glass glitter, microbeads or anything else that will fit!

Please share if you use something else!

I made a paper type funnel for the tube glitter since it's so chunky. It does get stuck so you have to tap the tube with a pencil to get it to move down. You may need to squeeze gently and tap again.

Insert the connector in the other end of the tube and you're done!

You could add some glue but I had a hard time pulling the bracelet apart without glue.

I also made a couple with fine glitter that I found at the same time.

Fine glitter is definitely easier to fill than the tube glitter. I tried cutting a tiny piece off the corner of the glitter package to fill. It worked out okay but very slow.

I didn't have a glitter/craft funnel but this worked perfectly! I had the idea when I was filling the mini fairy jars with glitter. Wilton cake decorating tip #5. Lol!

Tap the tube to get the glitter to move down. Close and you are done.

With so many different types of glitter the creative opportunities are endless.

So easy and they turned out super cute.

I have a ton of extra supplies and might make some DIY kits with everything to create.

Mini glass jar pendants - Fairy or Pixie Dust filled vial - Unicorn/ Mermaid magic - Great party favor idea - How to make - gift ideas - Tooth Fairy

I bought these little jars for no reason at all except to play.

The possibilities are endless and I'm obsessed. :)

I made a few college and high school colors with team logo confetti. Similar to the jingle bell jumbo glitter ornaments I made last month.

I found the tiny jars above online but I was at Micheal's yesterday and found a bunch of different sizes and shapes.

All in the jewelry section.

Michael's also has a new end cap FULL of jumbo glitter and assorted glitter sets.

OOOooooh aaaaahhhh!

I ended up getting 4 of the 6 colors and I'll be back for the others soon.

I also saw in the embossing/stamp section lots of extra fine glitter in every color, jumbo glitter, glass glitter and microbeads.

Microbeads are little balls that are perfect for these jars.

Dragon scales, Mermaid magic, etc!

I bought more little jars and 18' necklace.

I used an icing tip as my funnel and tiny hors d'oeuvre spoon to pour. Lol!

These little jars would make great party favor gifts for a unicorn, mermaid, or fairy party.

What about a gift from the tooth fairy!? So cute!

That reminds me of the time I tried to glitter the tooth fairy money and my boys said it looked like it came from my craft room. That was the day they didn't believe anymore. Lol!

DIY Jingle Bell & Jumbo Glitter Ornaments - Holiday craft - Easy way to fill & decorate clear ornaments - Christmas idea

I found clear plastic ornaments at Michael's. Oh the possibilities. I didn't know if I should use paint, cut vinyl, or fill.

I found jumbo silver glitter and mini jingle bells on sale t Michael's.

I had the pink jumbo glitter, silver stars, ribbon, and fishing line.

I made a few ornaments for gifts and several silver and blue to keep.

I used three jingle bells on fishing line. Since it's hard to hot glue fishing line directly, I used a small piece of paper to attach the fishing line making a loop. Hot glue to attach the piece of paper to the inside of the ornament top.
