STEP 1:

First up go to WINDOW-STYLES so your styles palette is visible.

STEP2:

Go to load styles by clicking the small lines on the top right hand corner of the styles palette.

STEP3:

Open up anything you want to add glitter to.

STEP 4:

Make sure the element is selected, then click on the icon in the STYLES palette.

STEP 5:

To adjust the size of the glitter pattern simply double click the thumbnail, then adjust the pattern overlay %. I use 100% for designing. Always stick to 25%, 50% or 100% anything else will be blurry.

On a canvas any less dpi than 300 your glitter may look blurry. So adjust accordingly.

This star is 72 dpi. The style defaulted to 24% and was blurry at 100%.

At 50% pattern it was perfect.

Just use your eye and adjust till it looks good for YOU.

STEP 6:

Then open up the sparkles in the read me file and add to your project!

All done!
