A little Christmas glitter

Uncategorized

29 Nov
Want to add some glitter&glamο»Ώ to your plain jane Christmas decor?
Well then read on for how to spruce up your {holiday} space!
I’ve had these fun Christmas-y trees on display at my house for a few years now and just β™₯ them because they add height to any cluster of decorations I play around with. 
Wanna know how I made ’em?
Supplies needed:
Cone styrofoam . Modpodge . 2- 1/8″ Wooden dowels . 2″x2″x1/2″ Wood base . Gold spray paint . Glitter 
Directions:
1. Spray paint (1) wooden dowel & the wood base gold.  Let dry completely.
2. Attach gold dowel to wood base with a screw from the bottom, (my hubby helped me here & even routered the edges to look more glitzy. Awww!)
3. Stick (1) unpainted dowel through the top and the gold dowel/base through the bottom of styrofoam until they are nice and snug.
4. Shave off styrofoam surrounding the top dowel until the cone styrofoam is shaped into a nice pointy Christmas-y tree, (cones come slightly flat on top.  Don’t worry if it’s not perfectly smooth; the glitter will hide any imperfections.)
5. Paint a thin layer of Modpodge onto cone styrofoam & top wooden dowel. 
6. Generously sprinkle glitter until all surfaces are completely sPaRkLy. 
(Note:  Be sure to glitter the underneath of the tree, too!) 
7. Wait until surface is completely dry.  Display for your viewing pleasure!
 Supplies needed:
(3) Red candles . Red glitter . Elmer’s Glue . Mod Podge
Directions:
 Candle #1: Paint a thin layer of modpodge. Roll in red glitter. Dust glitter in cracks.
Candle #2: Squeeze Elmer’s glue in thin layer, wrapping around candle. Dust red glitter on.
Candle #3: Repeat directions for candle numero uno πŸ˜‰
If you’re wondering about the gold snowflake in the middle of the frame, I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s an ornament from the $1 store!  I simply copied the method for my glitter candles: modpodge, dust on gold glitter, tack to frame, display.  That’s it!

    I'm working on some cone tree projects this year, but was at a loss for what to use for a neat base – what a great idea you've shared here! Can't wait to try it. Thanks for the glitter fun!
