First of all, you have to get a glitterfill. Just to make it easier for you to do this tutorial, I suggest that you use the one below, which is a glitterfill from my website.

Save that glitterfill to a place thats easy to remember ;)

Okay, Now, Open up your glitterfill in animation shop. It should look like this...

So, now, as said in the picture above, you have to copy each of the frames. To do that, Click on each picture (frame) and press CTRL + C. Then, go into Paint Shop Pro, and press CTRL+V. Remember tha you have to do that with each frame.

Now, if you have each frame of the glitterfill pasted into Paint Shop Pro, create a new blank image. Make it big enough to fit your glitterword (no bigger than 400x400px). If you're confused on what setting and such to use, use the settings below.

Now, go over to the right of your screen, theres the colour chart, then two boxes beside it. An upper and lower box. I the upper box is filled with colour, but the lower box isnt, then click the arrow circled in the picture below. If your lower box is filled with colour, then just leave it like that for the time being.

Okay, so now your lower box should be filled with colour. Now, you may notice, at the bottom of the lower box, theres three small boxes, all in a row. Click the first box, with the big circle on it. Now, click the spackled circle, like below.

Click on the lower box, and it should come up with a window, like below. Somewhere on this screen, there should be a bigger version of your lower box, if thats understandable. Click on the arrow to the right of the box, and choose the first glitterfill you see.

Click okay on that screen, and the lower box should now be filled with the first frame of your glitterfill!

Now, we get to creating the glitter text! Click on the big 'A' button on the left of your screen. Its in the big list of tools you can use.

Use settings like below, but choose your own font, font size, etc etc.

Click on your blank image, and type in what you want your glitterfill to say. Click okay, and copy the glitter word by right either right clicking and pressing 'copy' or by pressing CTRL+C. Go into animation shop, and paste it in, by right clicking and pressing 'paste' or by pressing CTRL+V. The glitter word, all in all, should look somehwat like this, but with your own text, and a different font.

Now, click on the bucket image on the left side of your screen, in the list of tools. Its a bucket with paint dripping out of it. Good, now, go up to near the top of your screen, and change the settings to the settings below.

Now, we go back a few steps.
Click on the lower box, and it should come up with a window, like below. Somewhere on this screen, there should be a bigger version of your lower box, if thats understandable. Click on the arrow to the right of the box, and choose the second glitterfill you see. Click okay. The lower box should now be filled with the second frame of glitterfill!

Fill your word with the second frame of glitterfill, and copy it, then paste it into animation shop. This time, though, click on the first word you pasted into animation shop. Right click on it, and press paste>>after current frame. Now, again, we repeat that step, but use the third glitterfill.

Click on the lower box, and it should come up with a window, like below. Somewhere on this screen, there should be a bigger version of your lower box, if thats understandable. Click on the arrow to the right of the box, and choose the third glitterfill you see. Click okay. The lower box should now be filled with the second frame of glitterfill! Fill your word with the third frame of glitterfill, right click on the word you just pasted into animation shop. Now, press paste>>after current frame.

Pheww. You're done! All you have to do now is save it and stick it wherever you want! If you want to see your glitter in action, press the button below, in animation shop.

I hope this Helped! Please link back if so!
