JusArt 16-Colour Acrylic Glitter Markers (0.7mm Fine Tip) – Metallic Shimmer Pens for DIY, Cards & Scrapbooking
Product description
The essentials
If you want bold, sparkly marks without messing around, these JusArt acrylic glitter markers are built for that “quick, clean line then shimmer” look. The pack includes 16 colours and uses opaque, water-based ink that’s intended to come out vibrant and eye-catching. The 0.7mm fine tip also suggests they’re aiming more for control than for covering huge areas in one go.
On paper, they fit a pretty typical mix of needs: kids doing crafts, adults adding detail to greeting cards, and anyone who likes scrapbooking or decorative writing. They’re also positioned as non-fading and not prone to discolouration, which is useful if your artwork will be handled or displayed.
That said, glitter pens are a bit of a “depends” product. If you’re expecting super-smooth calligraphy on every surface or a highly specialised art tool, you might find them more of a practical craft marker than a fine-art upgrade.
Key points
You get 16 metallic shimmer colours in a fine-tip acrylic glitter format, designed for bright, opaque marks and precise strokes. The ink is water-based and described as non-toxic and odourless, which makes them easier to justify for shared craft sessions. A clear barrel helps you see the colour you’ve picked, and the caps are designed not to roll away as easily.
What stands out in everyday use
The most noticeable thing here is the combination of a 0.7mm fine point and metallic shimmer. In real-world crafting, that usually means you can do the things most people actually want from glitter markers: - Write a message on a card without the letters turning into thick blobs. - Add shimmer accents around drawings (think stars, borders, or highlights). - Fill small areas where you still want edges to look tidy.
There’s also a “smooth and easy flow” angle in the description, which is important with glitter ink, because dry flow can ruin the effect fast. These are described as water-based with a durable fine tip for flowing, clear lines.
Still, you’ll want to treat them like any glitter marker: cap them promptly after use. The description directly warns that drying out is possible if the caps aren’t put on straight away, and that’s one of those small habits that decides whether you’ll enjoy them long-term.
Where they fit best (and where they may fall short)
These markers are pitched as versatile across many surfaces, including glass, wood, stone, fabric, paper, scrapbook journals, and photo albums. That breadth is great if you’re the kind of person who does “one-off” projects—decorating a jar, adding details to a scrapbook page, or sprucing up a greeting card.
But do keep expectations realistic. Water-based glitter markers can behave differently depending on how absorbent the surface is. On very non-porous materials, you may find the finish looks more “sitting on top” rather than fully absorbing, while on textured surfaces you might get uneven coverage if you’re trying to fill large areas.

Care, handling and practical buying checks
Before committing, it’s worth thinking about how you’ll use them: - If you’ll be doing lots of fine writing and outlines, the 0.7mm tip should be the right direction. - If your goal is full-coverage colouring, glitter markers like these can be slower than paint markers or broader brush tips.
Also, check the storage and use habits in your household. The anti-rolling caps help keep them from getting lost on a desk or craft table, but you’ll still want a quick “cap straight away” routine—especially if more than one person uses them.
Buying verdict
It makes sense if you want a fun, controlled glitter pen for DIY crafts, greeting cards, and scrapbooking, particularly when you value non-toxic, odourless water-based ink and opaque metallic colour. The fine 0.7mm tip is a strong match for details like borders, accents, and message writing.
It might not be the best choice if you need heavy, consistent coverage across large areas, or if you’re after a specialist art tool for demanding surfaces. Glitter markers are as much about handling as they are about the product, and if you’re likely to leave caps off or use them for bigger fill work, you could end up frustrated.
Mini FAQ
FAQ
Are these glitter markers suitable for kids?
They’re described as non-toxic and odourless water-based ink, which suggests they’re made for kids and adults together.
Can they be used on different surfaces?
Yes, the description lists a range of surfaces including glass, wood, stone, fabric, paper, scrapbook journals, and photo albums.
Will the colour fade over time?
The ink is described as not prone to fading or discolouration, but like all craft materials, results can still depend on how the finished piece is handled and stored.
What kind of work are the 0.7mm tips best for?
For precise strokes: writing, outlining, and small-to-medium detailed areas. For large full-colour blocks, the fine tip may be slower.
How do I avoid the ink drying out?
Cap them promptly after use, as the description explicitly notes drying out can happen if caps aren’t put on straight away.
