I like glitter. I have quite the collection of glitter including glow-in-the-dark glitter.
I use it for a lot of projects. As result it is all over the house. It gets on the pugs. I go to work with it on my face. And it drives Aaron crazy. So he can understand the premise behind shipyourenemiesglitter.com
Send an envelope full of glitter to someone you don't like? Hilarious!
I saved the wishbones from the last two Thanksgivings with the intention of doing something crafty with them. I painted them metallic and added some glitter. It was pretty clear they needed more glitter.
I don't think "enough glitter" is a thing but I think these will do for now.
It is a glitter Halloween at our house.
My collection is made up of bought objects and ones I glittered myself.
Sparkly!
I found these little skulls at the craft store and they were just begging for glitter.
Some glue and a lot of Martha Stewart glitter in Halloween colors.
Then I wrapped a skull with some votives as favors for our Pumpkin Carving Party. Funny thing is, from my Instagram photo, Tina thought they were full sized skulls. Boy, was she surprised when she saw they were just mini-skulls.
I had decided that 2011 would be the year of the Glitter Christmas. I started off by glittering some plastic deer. That went pretty well.
This was my first plan for Glitter Christmas Handmade Craft Gift... it was based on this idea on Pinterest. I ordered the little deer online, glued them to jar lids and glittered the entire thing. Turns out glue and glitter doesn't adhere well to plastic jar lids. One twist to get to the candy and entire slabs of glitter would slough off. I tried sandpapering a lid before glittering it and that seemed to help but I was miffed and ready to try something else.
So I had lots of little plastic deer and lots of glitter. I was pretty excited when I saw these clothespin toppers on Pinterest! The glue and glitter stuck to the wood much better.
I glittered different kinds of deer in different colors and then clipped them to stamped gift tags. Tah-dah!
Glitter Christmas was saved.
Glitter spilled over to my gift wrapping too. I used stencils, glue and glitter to add gift recipients initials to their packages.
I also glittered some letter cutouts to tie to packages.
There is now a fine coat of glitter covering pretty much everything in the house now. Even the pugs. I believe this will be the last glitter holiday. Well, maybe just Easter. Glitter EGGS!
I had to come up with Halloween party favors/place settings as good as last year's spooky black pumpkins.
That's where my two newest crafting supply discoveries came in. Glitter blast glitter spray...
... and chalkboard spray!
I got these little plastic pumpkins at The Dollar Tree for a dollar each and then spray painted my little heart out. More on that later. The glitter spray is tricky.
I think they made nice place settings.
And were something cute for the party goers to take home.
