Meet the Maker
Glitter Bug Design Studio ….. we help you to “Be your own kind of sparkle!!”.
Glitter Bug Design Studio (GBDS) got started in the fall of 2020. After working with acrylics and UV gel products in the salon industry for over 30 years it was time to take it to the next level. Taking the experience with sculpting using nail products, I decided to begin resin crafting using silicone molds and epoxy resin. It allows me to continue in the creative arts without being cooped up in a salon all day. I fell in love with the craft.
Where’d the name come from??? Well…..I owned a nail salon where I worked with glitter every day which meant that everywhere I went I left behind some glitter….. and I also had a convertible VW Beetle…..my custom tag was GlttrBug. I loved it, it stuck, so here we are with Glitter Bug Design Studio. It’s cute and it’s catchy.
Nearly everything created by GBDS is custom-made. But there are also many ready-to-ship items available. For this reason, shipping times will vary depending upon the items ordered (be sure to check each listing for turnaround time on custom orders). Every order is carefully and lovingly created and packaged for customer satisfaction. We are starting out with gift items crafted out of resin with embellishments that include glitter, dried botanicals, shells, sand, and anything else you may desire to have included in your art piece. All drinkware and pens that have coatings on them are made using a non-toxic, non-hazardous, and epoxy-free top coat. In most instances, drinkware and pens are completely epoxy-free (even lower layers).

How it’s Made
Gel pen base (or ballpoint pen, or mechanical pencil) is prepped, colored and then glittered. Once the base color has been added the image is placed. There are several layers of UV Resin added to create a smooth pen. Sanding is done as needed. The pen is then sealed with up to 3 layers of an epoxy-free, non-toxic, UV resistant coating which provides a high gloss shine. Each pen takes at least 2 days to complete. Additional decorative pieces may be added if needed.

Returns/Refunds/Exchanges
We want all of our customers to be happy with their purchases. If you purchase one of our regularly stocked products (not custom – see below regarding custom products) and are not happy with it, please contact us as soon as possible.
We do not offer returns, refunds, or exchanges on custom orders unless there has been an in-house error. Custom orders would be considered a product that you have requested a specific blend of colors, embellishments, names, phrases, logo, etc that is outside of what our regularly stocked products are. Custom orders may also include products that have custom names or sizes, even if the product itself is a stock item. If you are sent the wrong product we will correct the problem right away.
Shipping Procedures
There is a minimum of 48 business hour turn-around time for processing and shipping in-stock items. Custom products may take up to 2-4 weeks for turn-around (tumblers may take 4 weeks depending upon design and custom requirements). Shipping times vary due to the size of the project and the type of resin/coating we need to use. This is due to the varying curing times required for each type of product. We make every effort to get orders processed and shipped ASAP. However, at certain times of the year (ex. Holidays) delivery times may be extended due to higher demand and longer shipping times from shipping carriers. In addition, if in-stock AND custom orders are placed on the same order they will all ship at one time once the custom items are ready.
Please be sure to provide a shipping address that generally has someone present that can accept delivery. We are not responsible for packages that are left outside by any mail/package carrier. Nor are we responsible for packages that are not picked up or alternate delivery arrangements made once notice is left by the carrier about an attempted delivery of a package.
Any errors must be reported within 7 business days of delivery of the package (we use tracking information to determine delivery dates of orders). Please check your packages carefully when they arrive.
We generally use USPS Priority Mail or First Class with tracking information. However, we reserve the right to use the carrier service of our choice. If a specific carrier is requested additional fees may be charged. Shipping costs are calculated based on realtime USPS rates that are calculated based on the shipping weight of the order.
