Hi there, and welcome to Glue&Glitter! It’s been busy over here lately, and there is lots of fun in the works. Check out the shop to see what’s new! The Glue & Glitter blog is where I document pretty much everything in my life from new projects I’m working on to my husband’s and my adventures in reducing our ecological footprints.

My name is Becky Striepe, and I am an independent crafter and freelance blogger living in Atlanta, Georgia. My passion is working with vintage fabric and reclaimed materials. There’s just something about giving found objects a brand new life that really appeals to me. They lend their own stories to everything I make!
My indie business, Glue and Glitter, is all about using existing materials in products that help folks reduce waste without sacrificing style. I believe in the power of little changes: using cloth napkins instead of paper or a reusable bag instead of a plastic one. Things like this add up to make a big impact! Even the act of cooking is so much greener than takeout when you consider all of the packaging and whatnot involved in ordering that Chinese delivery. If a Lunch Kit would get you packing your lunch for work or school, or a cute apron encourages you to get in the kitchen and put a meal together, I hope that I can make one to inspire you!
I do freelance writing and editing for Important Media, a community of blogs dedicated to sustainable living, greenUPGRADER, and at Care2. You can subscribe to my posts at Important Media here or check out my posts for greenUPGRADER and Care2!
Thanks so much for popping in!
Disclosure Policy
Starting on December 1, 2009, the FTC required that bloggers fully disclose if we’re making money from mentions of products on our sites and when we receive freebies for review. I try to be up front and honest whenever I write something, but just in case anything isn’t clear, here we go:
- I get paid a small percentage if you purchase something through the Amazon links on my site. If you start your shopping on Amazon by clicking one of my links, I get an even smaller percentage. I never link to anything on Amazon unless I was going to include that item in my post anyway. Incidentally, if you’d like to help me keep the lights on, click one of my Amazon links get shopping!
- I get paid a small percentage if you purchase something through the Greenerprinter links on my site. Greenerprinter is a company that I believe strongly in, and I use their services for a lot of my printed materials.
- I receive a small fee for links to the Sustainablog store. I would never link to an item there that I wouldn’t have written about anyway.
- I’d never review a freebie without mentioning that the company sent me a sample. Any time I do review freebies, I promise to be totally honest about my experience.
- If you buy something from my Etsy shop, I keep most of the cash from that sale, minus percentages from Etsy, PayPal, and packaging/shipping costs. If you want to support my indie business, you can head over to my shop and pick up some handmade goodness!
