Lrisy chunky glitter comes in 174 styles from 1mm to 12mm — hexagon, star, heart, flower and round cuts made from stretched PET film, each flake cut to hold its shape and its sparkle through resin, crafts and tumblers. Every size ships from 10 g sample bags up to 1 kg bulk packs, so you can test a colour before committing to volume. Browse the full shaped chunky glitter range to compare cuts side by side.
What Is Chunky Glitter?
Chunky glitter is a large-particle glitter, usually 1 mm and above, cut from a single stretched PET film with a punch die. The larger the particle, the more reflective surface each flake carries — which is why chunky glitter reads as a bolder, more visible sparkle than extra-fine grades. Cutting larger pieces also produces less waste and fewer residual impurities than milling fine glitter, so a clean chunky flake reflects more light per gram. For the full breakdown, see our comparison of chunky vs fine glitter.
Sizes: 1mm to 12mm
Our chunky range runs from 1 mm hexagons up to 12 mm statement pieces. As a working guide:
- 1–3 mm — sits flat, covers evenly, works under a seal coat without adding texture.
- 4–6 mm — the most popular range for tumblers, nails and small crafts; still passes through most applicators. Shop the 4 mm range or the 5 mm range.
- 8–12 mm — reads as individual flakes, best on flat surfaces, larger crafts and statement pieces.
Shapes: Hexagon, Star, Heart & More
Hexagon is our largest shaped range (25 styles), followed by flowers (12), stars (9), hearts (3) and round cuts (3). We also carry butterflies, moons, cat paws, clouds and four-pointed stars. Every shape is available in mixed and solid colours, and most can be produced in custom colourways.
Bulk & Wholesale Buying
Standard packs start at 10 g for sampling; volume pricing applies from 1 kg and scales with quantity. Because we manufacture in-house, we can match a colour across batches and quote per kilogram rather than per jar — the difference matters when you are pricing a finished product.

Which Projects Chunky Glitter Suits
Chunky glitter earns its place on large, flat or gently curved surfaces where fine glitter disappears into the background:
- Resin & epoxy — 1–4 mm flakes suspend evenly; larger flakes gather at the pour edge. See glitter for resin.
- Tumblers — 4–6 mm hexagons sit flat under epoxy with minimal texture. Our tumbler glitter guide covers the full process.
- Crafts & paper — 1–3 mm for coverage, 6 mm and above for focal shapes. Start with glitter for crafts.
- Nails — 1–2 mm for encapsulated looks; our nail glitter and solvent-resistant range holds colour in gel and acrylic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between chunky and fine glitter? Chunky is 1 mm and up; fine glitter is typically 0.2 mm or below. Chunky covers less evenly but reflects more light per flake. All our chunky lines are cut from polyester glitter film.
Will chunky glitter go through a spray gun? No — above roughly 0.5 mm it will clog any nozzle. Apply chunky glitter by hand or with a shaker, then seal.
Does chunky glitter shed? Loose glitter sheds until sealed. A gloss acrylic, polyurethane or resin top coat locks it in — the same method used in our glitter tumble tutorial.
Can I order a custom colour? Yes — we produce custom shades and mixed colourways; minimums depend on the base colour and quantity.
