DIY Dipped Glitter Vase

Tuesday, May 14, 2013
While I enjoy intricate crafting, it's also really fun to find a simple project you can create in a few minutes.  This dipped glitter vase can be made in about five minutes.  It would make a great wedding centerpiece or just a pretty decoration at home.
To Create This Project You Will Need:

- a glass vase
To begin, I taped off the vase with paper about 1/3 of the way up.  I headed outside and sprayed the bottom of the vase with Aleene's Fast Grab Tacky Spray.  
I poured the glitter onto the bottom of the vase.
After enough pouring, the glitter starts to accumulate on the paper and you can roll the vase in it as well.  That makes it easier to really get the glitter pushed on tightly.
 Once the glitter is on you can protect it with Aleene's Spray On Glitter Sealer.  
Then simply remove the paper.
 Now you have a one-of-a-kind vase with some extra glam.

Sock Covered Valentine's Vase with Cupcake Wrapper Flowers

Thursday, January 31, 2013

I love socks, especially kooky knee high ones. If you want to know the way to my heart buy me some socks. Nothing says I love you and Happy Valentine's Day like toasty toes. The trick is how to give a pair of socks and make it look cute and festive. Today for I Love to Create I'm gonna show you how to do just that.

SUPPLIES
Cute socks
Glasses and bottles

This part is super easy. Roll your sock over your glass or bottle. Thanks Design Sponge for the great idea! At this point you can fill your vase with anything you want. Lollipops, roses or cupcake liner flowers. Lemme show you what I did.

SUPPLIES
Aleene's Tacky Glue
Sticks
Cupcake liners
Pen

Baxter, my right hand crafty man and I gathered up our supplies and got busy. There are a million tutorials online for making flowers out of cupcake liners. I just sorted twisted and glued to the top of my stick. I added the occasional pom pom for good measure.

Make a little card or floral pick that says something catchy like "Valentine - We Make a Great Pair!". Give to your loved one and watch their heart melt and feet warm up
