Once all of your glitter has been applied, gently remove any excess by tapping off any extra pieces into a bowl or onto scrap paper. You may also want to use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner attachment to wipe away any remaining particles.

Step 5: Apply Transfer Tape Over Design

After all of your excess glitter has been removed, place another piece of transfer tape over top of the design and press down firmly in order for it adhere properly. Once this is done, slowly peel away both pieces of tape from each side until all that remains is your beautiful glittered design.
