Here is another really simple diy: sparkle stickers. To make these I used printable round stickers like these, glue and of course some glitter. I painted on a thin layer of glue on the sticker (be sure to stay inside the lines so you can easily peel them back later) and then gave it a good heathy sprinkle of glitter. Allow the stickers to dry over night and get to stickin'; I like to use them as envelope stickers for holiday cards or on packages to make your own pretty wrapping. {holiday cards shown can be printed for free; find them here }.
I hope everybody has a great weekend! I plan to barricade myself in my house and work all weekend. The great thing about my work being embroidery is I can watch lots of movies while I work. I am thinking it's time to break out a few holiday favorites. I also got my son the new batman movie as his "big" advent calendar gift, so I imagine we will be watching that this weekend too. Last on my to-do list is to press the "check out" button on some online shopping orders, my carts are getting full! Do you all have any weekend plans? xo
These are adorable! :33
ReplyDeleteWhat is Christmas holidays without a little sparkle??? Very nice inspiration, and your weekend plans sounds good!!!. I plan to decorate the Christmas tree with my son tomorrow!.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,baci Eva
fun! we are doing ours as well! xo
DeleteHa ha ha, I love love love the envelopes, such a beautiful idea! Now I only hope you don't find glitter in every corner of the house...
ReplyDeletei only glitter outside ; )
DeleteSo pretty! What a FAB idea and it looks simple too, perfect! I can do this with my little girls when we're wrapping the Christmas pressies, they love anything glittery. Thanks so much for the idea.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea and looks so pretty!!! x
ReplyDeleteYou are so creative, Christine! Love your DIY projects. I'm planning to work this weekend too as I had a flu and couldn't do much the last two days, and also some Christmas shopping (I've taken care of the online orders, I have a few more shops to visit and I'm done). xo

I love the polka dot effect you created on that wrapping paper. It is stunning. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeletethanks you too! xo
DeleteSo I really like this idea, a lot. But I'm scared of another glitter project after the Thanksgiving fiasco. Should I try again?
ReplyDeleteyes! your thanksgiving was so pretty!
DeleteYou are so clever! I use craft paper to wrap gifts too. I usually hand write (in my best handwriting :) a note right on the paper, but the gold, sparkly embellishment definitely takes it up a notch. Might have to try my hand at something similar. Always feeling me with inspiration, you are.
ReplyDeleteooo, i like that idea! and thank you : ) xo
DeleteI love the glitter effect. Such a great and easy way to give your packages sparkling character.
ReplyDeleteI do love glitter, and it looks so cute on envelopes! :)

I really love these on the brown wrapping paper! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteHope you have some good stuff in your online shopping carts!
I have such a love/hate relationship with glitter. Love, because obviously. Hate, because it's like herpes. It NEVER LEAVES. I'd make an exception for this adorable DIY though!
ReplyDeleteGood luck hunkering down all weekend! My go-to holiday movie is Love Actually. And since we're putting up our tree tomorrow maybe I'll watch it to celebrate. Oh! And writing. I'll be doing lots and lots of writing. Take care, lovely! xo
haha, well i definitely hate herpes more than glitter ; ) i also only do glittery projects outside, it still ends up on my face for days afterward, always. i need to watch that movie again, i have only seen it once! hope you had fun with grandma! xo
Deletei love these! super pretty. love the wrapping paper idea.
ReplyDeletei love those cards and wrapped gift! so lovely and beautiful xx
