Its also the stuff of cleaning nightmares. But where does glitter come from Why does it exist And how in the name of all that is good can you get it off the upholstery WHY ARE HUMANS SO ATTRACTED TO GLITTER Culturally, of course, we love shiny things, perhaps because they are associated with wealth and status flashy cars, blinged out accessories, even solid gold toilets. But the roots of our attraction to All Things Sparkly goes deeper. Anthropologists have noted that many hunter gatherer tribes equated shiny things with spiritual powers. Prehistoric man also had a habit of polishing his bone tools. But it seems to be more than just an ooh, pretty, phenomenon. Babies, after all, cant tell a diamond coated Rolex from a Timex, but new research shows that kids favor putting shiny objects into their mouths over matte materials. And it turns out, theres an evolutionary reason for that. According to researchers from the University of Houston and Ghent University in Belgium, our impulse for shiny things comes from an instinct to seek out water. The theory is that our need to stay hydrated has kept mankind on the lookout for shimmering rivers and streams. BBC Documentaries All Seasons.

HOW DID OUR ANCESTORS GET THEIR GLITTER ON For those who couldnt get their mitts on gold, silver, or precious jewels, mica has been a saving grace. These naturally occurring sheets of silicate forming minerals have been used to bedazzle objects ever since the Paleolithic era. Mayans, for example, chipped and mixed the stuff into pigments and slapped it onto 6th century temples. Even today, you can find mica in luster paints. But mica was hardly the only option. Pyrite was used in Paleolithic cave paintings to produce a muted shimmer. Ancient Egyptians slipped ground green malachite, a copper carbonate with an iridescent effect, into their cosmetics, and there was also galena, a silvery mineral used in early eyeliners. By the 1. 9th century, however, glitter was most often made from powdered or ground glass. It came in any color that glass came in and was often marketed under the name diamantine. As an 1. The New York Sun explained, the ornamental effect was achieved by coating fabric in glue and rolling it in glass powder. Which sounds somewhat glamorous, but more dangerous. WHO INVENTED GLITTERGlitter as we know it today wasnt invented until 1. According to glitter lore, New Jersey machinist Henry Ruschmann accidentally invented the stuff after he took a load of scrap metals and plastics and ground it up very fine. Some reports claim that his invention took off during World War II, when American access to Germanys glittering diamantine was cut off. While the origin story is murky, Ruschmann is a strong candidate He did file for four separate patents for inventions related to cutting up strips of foil or film. And though he died in 1. Meadowbrook Inventions is still in the glitter business today, peddling more than 2. WHY DID THE MILITARY EXPERIMENT WITH GLITTERWhile cosmetics and crafts seemed to be the obvious uses, inventors also dabbled with the sparkling substance. Air Force briefly tried spraying what amounted to glitterthey called it chafffrom the back of warplanes. The idea was to create a cloud of false echoes to throw off enemy radar, making it virtually impossible for the enemy to determine the real target from a fake. The UK also used something similar in Operation Window, where planes released strips of aluminum coated paper at timed intervals, swamping German radar screens with false signals. But the armed forces arent the only group to take advantage of glitters shimmering qualities A significant number of glitter patents have also been filed for fishing lures. Fish, like humans, like shiny things. HOW IS GLITTER MADE The making of glitter is fairly banal. Color is applied to a copolymer sheet, then a layer of reflective material, such as aluminum foil, is placed on top of that. Then, the now fused film is run through a rotary cuttera combination of a paper shredder and a wood chipper, according to a glitter maker on a Reddit threadresulting in precision cut pieces of uniform size. That size varies according to the need of the customer Meadowbrook offers a teeny, tiny, microscopic . And while the shapes are most often hexagonal, they can be nearly anything you want square, butterfly, stars, hearts. How much glitter these machines can produce in an hour is dependent on size, shape, and yield. HOW CAN YOU CLEAN UP AFTER A GLITTER SPILLYou cant. Glitter sticks to stuff because of the static electricity generated between its small particles of metal or plastic and virtually every surface known to man or beast. Getting it off is often an exercise in futility and frustration. But if moving away isnt an option, Real Simple says all is not lost. For tiled or hardwood floors, you can aggressively vacuum up drifts with the crevice attachment. For fabric surfaces, such as couches and other upholstery, a lint roller works best. Meanwhile, you can use a rubber gloved hand to loosen glitter stuck in carpet and then attack with the vacuums upholstery brush. For your keyboard, try loosening the glitter with a shot of compressed air. Just be prepared This is a war you will not win. There will always be a bit of sparkle somewhere. WHAT IF THE GLITTER IS STUCK TO YOU If the glitter is on your person, you can unstick it with oil on a cotton ball. Beyonces make up artist, who has coated the flawless star in craft glitter at least twice, says Scotch tape is another great way to remove it although she still spots the lingering glitter in her make up kit. If youve ever used glitter nail polish, youre probably aware that it requires a chisel to remove. Pro tip, via Glamour You can use either a cotton ball soaked in acetone and secured around your fingertips with aluminum foil for as long as it takes to remove the stuff, or try a felt pad soaked in nail polish remover evidently, the felt is rougher and more durable than just regular cotton. DOES GLITTER EVER REALLY GO AWAY No. And thats a problem for the environment. Remember in 2. 01. The beads, made of plastic, are too small to be filtered out by water treatment plants, so they end up in lakes and rivers where they are eaten by unsuspecting fish. Eventually, environmentalists called for bans and several companies stopped using them. Glitter is similar. When it ends up in waterways and oceanic environments, its often mistaken for prey by marine life and ingested. But since people still want sparkle, companies are working on ways to satisfy that need without harming the environment. Ronald Britton, a UK based glitter manufacturer, has come up with Bio Glitter, a certified compostable, biodegradable glitter that wont clog waterways or harm marine life. Manufacturers on the consumption end, such as distinctively scented soaps company Lush, have started using biodegradable glitter made from synthetic mica in their bath products. And if youre feeling a bit uncomfortable about all the fish your glitter habit has probably murdered, rest easy knowing that going forward, you can make your own non toxic, animal safe glitter using food coloring and salt. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU EAT GLITTER Though eating glitter is ill advised, most commercially available glitter is non toxic and wont hurt you in small amounts. Or, and this is rather more likely, it wont hurt the small child in your care who has been gleefully shoveling orange glitter into his mouth. The major exception is glass glitter, which is used by hardcore crafters for a vintage sparkle and would be very bad if consumed if youve swallowed glass glitter, go directly to the hospital.
