Hi and welcome to the site! This is obviously something I will have to go away and think about (and maybe experiment with too!) but it's too late at the moment. :D

Hi shoppin snowball - wow! good name! 
I love having glitter in the water, 'specially when you get it to cover the surface like a mirror - the childen do all sorts with it, and seem surprised when they break the surface and it goes all 'swirly'.
I would think you've got some fairly chunky glitter - try some fine stuff, it's a bit more expensive, but sooo effective!
Have fun And welcome!!
Sue :D

Yes Hali, add some glycerine to the water and it acts as a suspension for the glitter. It gives the effect of snow shakers then.
