Glitter : The herpes of arts & crafts.
I think I'll be finding glitter for months after Christmas.

Not only is it all over my counter top, it is all over ME! I look like I've been assaulted by Tinkerbelle!

I have a friend that every year puts glitter stars in her Christmas card and every year I forget so I open her card end up with a lap full of sparkles!! Every year.

I got some from Paper Source but I haven't noticed it shedding. Fingers crossed that it won't start!
If you're a paper crafter, it's GREAT for crafting. I cut out chipboard shapes and then cut the shape out with the wrapping paper and glue them together. So much neater than actual glittering.

I bought a set of boxes with glitter lids that weren't supposed to shed.....but they do!! The table, nearby chair, carpet, me, my clothes and shoes were all covered in the stuff so I threw the lot away and after spending an age clearing up the stuff, started again with paper!!  |

My "favorite" is it's annoying first cousin, mylar wrapping paper.
I don't know if they even make it anymore, but it's something that my dad stocked up on back in the 90s. It looks beautiful, but is a pain to wrap with because it won't crease. Tape, tape and more tape! LOL

To answer your original question, it's because GLITTER PAPER IS SO PRETTY.

I have a friend that every year puts glitter stars in her Christmas card and every year I forget so I open her card end up with a lap full of sparkles!! Every year. My mom sends paper invites for all kinds of events every year but you never know when she is going to decide to put glitter or confetti inside of an invite. This year's Thanksgiving invitation had tons of turkey confetti in it and my husband was the poor victim who decided to open it. I'm still finding red and green tree confetti pieces in my kitchen from last year's Christmas card. |

 The leopard paper isn't glittery at all, but the other two are. It is hard to tell on the top gift, but those are gold, silver and polka dot Christmas trees. The gold trees are pure glitter. And I managed to have to tape over a gold Christmas tree EVERY time. These aren't all of the gifts I've wrapped today but this is when I decided to take an instagram break  . The chevron has a gold glitter stripe, too. |

Usually I make my own tags but I was lazy this year and I am just using the wrapping paper to make folded tags like my dad always does. |

I love glitter paper! I bought some at Target one year and was so excited to use it, but the tape wouldn't stick so I took it all back. I was so disappointed that I couldn't use it because it was so pretty. I love that leopard paper you have though!
