I have used a type of glitter glue, as I found normal pen didn't look that great and didnt stand out either. After writing on them I hung them up overnight for them to dry and by the morning they looked great

Hi

Just been to make local hobbycraft and they have christmas gel pens in. Pack of 5/6 for about 10 pounds. They show a picture of a bauble that has been written on, so you could try there?

I was going to try CD pens- I'm using them as a 'guest book' rather than as favours, so want guests to write messages or decorate baubles for us to keep and have on our tree in years to come! So they need to dry pretty much instantly for me! I'm yet to try it out though, so I hope it looks ok!!

Hi again, i have checked what I used and its called Stickles Glitter glue. If you type it into google then loads of pages come up that have it. There are various colours so should fine one tht suits. Hope that helps! xx
