Glitter Glue
This weekend, I did a lot of Christmas decor shopping. My granny and I went to Kmart, Hobby Lobby, and Hancock Fabrics in Fayetteville. I love K-Mart and wish we had one closer. I am a big fan of Martha Stewart, and her Christmas line is so much fun! Between the various locations, I bought some wide ribbon, grapevine wreaths to decorate myself, fabric to make stockings, a stocking pattern (high heeled boot with pointed toe!!), garland to do the stair banister, a box of 50 ornaments on sale for $9.99, and some glitter glue. Last night I decorated a few of the ornaments using the glitter glue. What a fun creation that glitter glue is! The ornaments had indentions in them, so using the glue in the seams was a perfect solution to jazzing them up. I plan on using them throughout the house. My tree is done in a monochromatic gold theme, so I will use these in some pretty containers on counter tops, and in some arrangements, on the banister, etc. Being on a budget requires some creativity! : )

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what else you create.
Ok, so the glitter/glue combo in a bottle is way easier than my glue with a paint brush and messy glitter! Smart thinking!

ReplyDeleteCute idea with the glitter glue! I was just thinking last night that I need to go to K-Mart. I always forget that we have one! I can't wait to start decorating for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute, & very cleaver idea to dress up not to expensive christmas ornaments. You are on top of christmas once again. I really don't know how you find the time.
ReplyDeleteSo I was wondering if you could come and get my house ready for Christmas... I think that this would be a great second job for you. I love it. You have a wonderful gift that God has given you.

ReplyDeleteYour monochromatic theme and blog about Kim made me remember when we "rearranged" your room! It was so funny to mess with. Niether of us had a perfectionistic bone in our body. Your ornaments are beautiful!
