all that glitters….

Someone tell me the last thing I should be entertaining is the idea of glitter projects.  No, Kim.  Glitter is not a friend to a mother of ten.  Nor to a mother of Brendan…   But, oh, look what Martha can do with clip art and glitter!  I was in Walmart looking at her rows of pretty aqua and white Martha boxes and saw the set of glitters.  Then thought, hmmm, what does one DO with glitter anyway?  While surfing for inspiration for Abbie's birthday cake we found the answer to that question.  You go to Martha's and download lovely clip art which you can paint over with a brush and glue and then glitter it over.  I'm liking this.  

The paper cutouts are lovely as well.  Simple and stunning.  Makes the package look like a fondant cake…. to which we have given a great deal of thought around here.  Go Wilton <g>

  1. i’ve seen those same packages of glitter in wal mart. and must say that i have such a hard time resisting the temptation to buy them. but now that i see this….i might just have to give in…besides, i’ve only got 4 kids. and only 2 would even be remotely interested in glitter…

  2. We REALLY want to do this!! but we might have to wait until next year. The ornaments would make a great gift for our cousins…If you make them, I would love to see how they turn out.
