Glitter text is a cool thing to know how to do. I don't make them so often though, but I'm sure it's very popular. You have to have both Animation Shop and Paint Shop Pro (or Photoshop) to make glitter text. This tutorial may be a little bit hard, but if you follow the steps closely you will make it!:)

Step 1: Start by finding a glitter fill you like, go to this site here for glitter fills.

Step 2: Save the glitter fill you want to use and then open it in Animation Shop. Here's what is should look like when you've opend it:


Step 3: Copy the first frame of the glitter and paste it in Paint Shop Pro.

Step 4: Go to your material palette and click on the color that is underneath the other one:


Step 5: A new window will apear, here you have to choose Patterns: . Change the pattern to the new glitter one. Your material palette should look like this:


Step 6: Now finally we can start writting the text. Open a new dokument and choose the text tool, then before you write, set the Create as-part to Floating:


Step 7: When you write your text now, it should have a marking around it, like mine:


Step 8: Click Ctrl + C to copy the marked text, then go to Animation Shop and click Ctrl + V to paste the text in there.

Step 9: Now do exactly the same with the next frame of glitter fill. (follow steps 3-8 again) and then the same with the last frame of glitter fills. Remember that when you're going to paste the next texts into Animation Shop, you have to rightclick on the glitter text you have already made and select Paste after current frame.

Step 10: In your Animation Shop, the result of pasting the three texts will look like this:


Step 11: Save it and upload it to your site. And you're finished! Here's my result:
