Dollar Tree Crafts

Tonight was another craft night (dollar store finds) with my mom as she is getting ready for a Christmas themed party.

We did lots of crafts with glitter again. Who can say no to glitter?! But I cannot share those right now as they are gifts/surprises.

I will share a couple things. First is the mint serving platter:

We just arranged the red and green mints in a circleish shape on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Put in the oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let cool and then put your cookies or snacks on it to take to a party so you never have to worry about leaving your dishes!
Even the pup likes the idea 🙂

Second craft I can share is a white candle we got for $1 and used double sided sticky tape to make stripes and covered in red glitter. We sprayed a sealing coat of Mod Podge to finish. The before and after:

I love getting in the Christmas spirit as cant wait to give everyone homemade gifts this year!

Craft Night with the Family

After a busy day with the husband, it’s craft night with my mom and sisters! Actually I should clarify- it’s glitter night!

Old Christmas light bulbs covered in glitter. We just covered the cleaned bulbs in Elmer’s glue and shook on the glitter and finished with a spray of Mod Podge spray acrylic. Viola!

Glittery wine glasses. Same technique as above. FYI- we got these glasses at the Dollar Tree for $1 each. That’s what I call a bargain!

Last project for the night was a personalized iPhone cover- of course, it was glitter!! Again, same technique, but added a coat of clear nail polish mixed with the glitter on top of the coat of Mod Podge.

These were all super easy and fun projects and just make you smile because there is so much glitter! And seriously I love Mod Podge- it does everything! Have fun 🙂
