Thank you! When you are using the 5 gram jar of disco dust, how fast does it go? I have 125 small masquerade masks that are going to be cupcake toppers that I need to cover with the dust. How many jars do I need to get?

Make sure when you are dusting them that you do it on a large plate lined with parchment paper or something else that is SMOOTH - as opposed to say using a paper towel.

 

You actually use much more disco dust the apply it than what actually stays on the piece.
You need to coat the area you want 'disco-dust' on with tylose glue/piping gel etc and then you sprinkle the dust over - it doesn't work if you try and apply it with a paintbrush like you would a petal dust.

 

So, if you are able to turn each piece over and gently shake to remove excess dust - then it is an easy job to re-use the dust if it is simple a matter of folding your parchment carefully to make a 'channel' to pop it back into a jar (best NOT to use the original jar) - cross-contamination and all that :)
 

Sometimes I think I should just keep my opinions to myself,  but someone has got to be the voice of reason
