For brides who find it difficult to purchase large quantities of Glitter Paper, here’s an idea to make your own Glitter Paper*
All you need is thick drawing paper and glitter spray (about 2000 yen per bottle). Spray the glitter spray onto the drawing paper in 2-3 passes. Since the glitter will fall off if left as is, coat the surface with clear spray once it dries. Let it dry well, and it’s complete♡ This way, you can mass-produce Glitter Paper*
