Welcome to GlitterStylesDotCom! We are so happy you found us. Here is a nutshell bio to better get to know us:
We love social media and wanted to find a way to make it more accessible at events. From there, we researched how we could create a live Instagram wall at events and print out images on site. From there, we realized that we had beautiful images that we could use for scrapbooking and art. And then, the A-HA Moment happened. "We can take other people's awesome images from Instagram, print them out and make them more awesome by applying them to square canvases, hand pouring epoxy over the top and adding a hint of sparkle for a true artist effect. The result, GlitterStyles! We can also create a charm out of your images to wear on a bracelet or necklace. Your Instagram images. Tangible. Portable. More Awesome. Because, You! |
