Since buying the house I think it is a must to decorate. And I try to make as much stuff as I can. Without it looking like a total mess!
That usually entails trying and failing a couple times before I usually get it right.
Thanks Pinterest, for making me think I can do everything I pin.
So I am going to start with some simple things like sparkly candles and eggs.
Because who doesn't love glitter!?
I went to the craft store and bought some glitter, foam brushes (they were 14 for $1, amazing) and paper mâché eggs. I already had the Modge Podge and candles.
I coated the eggs with the Modge podge using the foam brush.
I sprinkled the gluey egg with glitter.
I also rolled it around in the glitter in the dish.
Please put a dish under your egg when putting the glitter on.
Dump the extra glitter from the dish onto a piece of paper.
Fold the paper in half and pour back into bottle.
Repeat the steps with the different glitter.
Voila! Beeeaauuuutiful :)
I also bought some crushed glass. The store advertised it as vase filler. It kinda looks like sand.
It comes in different colors.
I tried one of the eggs in this.
I really liked it! It was a totally different style. Kinda rustic glam.
I decided to do the candles in this glass.
I had these candles outside in my lanterns but I brought them in for winter.
Get a bowl big enough to fix the candles in.
Fill the bowl up with the sand.
Coat the candle with the Modge Podge with a foam brush.
Roll the candle in the glass.
Cover the rest of the candle with glue and keep rolling through the glass.
I think they look great! I'm going to do more eggs like this.
Let me know how it works for you :)
This was my breakfast this morning.
And I could of pulled a Bruce Bogtrotter and ate the whole cake. Ugh :-/
