I need HELP! Anyone with glitter tattoos... I have an emergency...  Empty I need HELP! Anyone with glitter tattoos... I have an emergency...

So my 13 year old does the glitter tattoos, and she just tells me NOW that she thinks she is out of glue and doesn't have enough for tomorrow. I don't know what else I could use? Eyelash glue? If she had told me on the way home I could have gotten it at Michael's, but she just now told me. We have the rest of our gig tomorrow, and no way to get to a craft store before we start. Any suggestions would be so appreciated! Thanks!!

Could you "water down" the glue with a few drops of alcohol?

bummer!! eyelash glue COULD work. I do glitter tattoos as well. Do you happen to have any spirit gum? Spirit gum would work.

Could you not offer glitter tattoos until later in the day and send someone to the craft store ASAP tomorrow to get the glue for you? Maybe you just don't set up the glitter tattoo area until the glue gets there.

I think ottergirl's idea it's the best, liquid latex would work, and eyelashes glue maybe (some times it is too thick and some are latex based too) and we all know the precautions we have with latex.

Thanks for the ideas, guys. I can't send anyone to the store, as there is no one to send, and this is a paid event. We have to be ready to go as soon as they open the doors. I am almost certain I found latex free eyelash glue at Walmart. I am going to get a couple of those, put it on a plate and dip the brush in alcohol before we use it to thin it. And pray.... lots of praying! Thanks for the help!

Thin latex with distilled water - alcohol can weaken it.

And I reread and saw it was latex free - sorry about that.
