Default how to un-clump glitter?

Does anyone know how to unclump glitter?

Before you answer, let me explain:
I just bought 2 sets of Martha's three-pack of glitters. One set of 3 glitters was fine. The other set, one color was fine and the other 2 were a little clumpy, almost like they were chunky glitter, but it is very fine glitter, they just have sort of formed into little balls. They glitter still comes out the shaker holes and they still look pretty, but I cant get a nice thin even coverage as with the other colors that are not clumped.

So, has this happened to you with ANY fine glitter? Do you know how I can unclump it, like is there some sort of thing to do it like set it out in the sun or something?
TIA!

I haven't had this happen to me, but if it did, I'd try putting in one of those packets of silica gel (the ones you get when you buy new shoes, for instance) and close it up. The gel should soak up the excess moisture.

Worth a try, anyway.

Yup! That would be my suggestion. Any time one of us gets a new pair of shoes, I snag the silica packets for future de-clumping situations. LOL! Boy, does that make me sound weird. :rolleyes:
