    Glitter in the base of th hole acrylic resin or clear epoxy to fill in.
    Super glue the bottom of the hole before the glitter goes on to fix it in place.

    See Weirdy!! It's a workable option!!

    Frankie, is this something you have done yourself? I had a quick look at Spotlight the other night, and they have different grades of glitter like fine or coarse. What did you use?

    Could you just use superglue as a filler?

    It's not something I've done Z, I just remember the concept from somewhere. It's like coating plain glass for a mirror, the shiny bit goes on the bottom and the clear bit goes over the top!
    Not sure about just filling with super glue, you'd need to experiment, probably outdoors as it would whiff like hell, ditto with the epoxy or casting resins options.

    Cool, thanks for that Frankie. More research needed!
