Claim:
A glitter vacuum comprising: a hollow housing having a substantially hollow interior, at least one outer wall, a first end and an opposing second end; an air intake port at the first end of the housing, said port having an elongated vacuum nozzle obliquely depending therefrom; an air outlet on the opposing second end of the housing that is in fluid communication with the intake port; a motorized impeller received within the housing interior that induces air flow from the nozzle to the air outlet; a glitter jar removably attached to the housing and in communication with the nozzle, said glitter jar having a glitter filter to prevent larger particulates from entering the jar whereby the impeller induces air flow through the nozzle to divert entrapped glitter particles to the jar; an angularly-extending deflector plate received within the housing interior, proximal the air intake port, said plate positioned to deflect incoming glitter into the glitter jar, said plate constructed with an air-impermeable material and having a plurality of peripherally-disposed, minute air passages so that the plate deflects particles while allowing passage of air.
