Meet Kristen — The Heart Behind the Sparkle

Hi, I’m Kristen, founder and sparkle enthusiast behind Chunky Glitter Company, a proudly Canadian small business based in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

What started as a passion project born out of my love for crafting has grown into a thriving, glitter loving community of makers, artists, and dreamers across Canada. I’ve always believed that a little sparkle can transform not just a project, but your whole mood and judging by how often I leave a trail of glitter behind, I definitely live by that! 

In just a few years, we’ve grown from 79 glitter varieties to over 225 unique custom mixes, launched our Pigment Pastes, Mica Powders, and Glow-in-the-Dark Powders, and became an authorized reseller for Bioglitter™, the world’s leading eco-friendly glitter. We’ve also expanded into wholesale and affiliate programs, collaborated with incredible small businesses, and even had our glitters featured in one of Canada’s largest Santa Claus parades!

Winning Platinum Awards for both Best Craft Store and Best Art Supplies through Community Votes Niagara has been such an honour and a reflection of the passion, creativity, and community that make Chunky Glitter Company shine.

But beyond the sparkle and success, what I’m most proud of are the connections made along the way, the customers who’ve become friends, the makers who inspire me daily, and the fellow small business owners who collaborate, support, and cheer each other on.

Through personal challenges, loss, and life’s curveballs, this business and the incredible CGC community have been a light that keeps me shining. I’m endlessly grateful for every order, every message, and every bit of love you send my way.

We may be small, but our sparkle is mighty — and we’re just getting started.
