Does glitter float?

Question

im going to make a centerpiece for a celebration like one i saw before somewhere else. it was a large vase filled halfway with water and on the top of the water was a layer of glitter and floating candles. i bought regular glitter but do you need to do anything special to make it float for the whole time? I dont want it to float then sink later in the night. Any advice is appreciated.
