A Sparkling Booth

How nice is this? In the booth, they made me a wall that invites everyone to join us on this blog. I have handed out so many business cards to fellow glitter lovers.
Some of the projects that are posted on the blog, I am sure you have seen them. Here they are displayed in the booth. These are some of the Mod Girl projects from last week.
Remember that you can click on the photos to make them larger, then you can see everything in detail.

Give Peace a Glittery Chance
Sunday, January 24, 2010
Today was kid's craft day. I have to report that every kid we had at the table was so cute, very well behaved, super smart, and loved to craft. Attention Mothers! Crafting must do something great for kids! It is all true. Every child we played with today was all of the above.

Michaels Make it Take it
Friday, January 22, 2010
We had fun today. Doesn't it look like it? I am sure we spread glitter everywhere. The poor demonstrators that came to the table after us found a table just covered in glitter. Pretty.
Michaels sponsored and hosted us. I met so many great crafters and the best part? Everyone enjoyed it!

The Lone Bird Tote
I really like simple little birds as a design element right now, and since yesterday's tweeters turned out cute, I kept the theme going today. This is a very pretty tote bag, even without the decorating. Adding Sparkle 21 birds and branches gives it a one-up on everyone else's tote bag.
I did the pattern with just one color of Sparkle 21, Night Sparkle. But, if you wish for more color, use red, copper, green, whatever you like.
- Patterned totebag
- Sparkle 21: Night Sparkle
- Printed pattern
- Dark chalk pencil
- Fabric glue
- 5/8” wide black ribbon with white dots (enough to fit the height of your bag twice)
1. Trace pattern lines with chalk pencil. Turn chalk side down on bag. Rub back of paper to transfer lines.
2. Cover pattern lines on bag with thick lines of Night Sparkle. Let dry.
3. Glue ribbon on either side of design on totebag.

Glitter Storefront
Here I am in Anaheim, ready for the Craft Supershow and the CHA Show. I had a little free time today and ended up at Downtown Disney. This storefront caught my eye. It was sparking even though it was raining. Plus, I really liked the swirly design. I am thinking about using it as inspiration for a pattern.
When I got up close, I noticed that the design was made of square mirrors, and it looked like giant size glitter. And the jewelry inside was pretty interesting too.

Three Little Glitter Birds
Wednesday, January 20, 2010
These little birds are so easy to make that you don't even need a pattern. I put them on a long sleeve onesie for a baby, but they would be cute so many other places. How about on an adult sleeve? Down a pantleg? The front of a hoodie? On a notebook? You can make them any size. Make them smaller and put them on a hat, or on shoes. Any Nature Girl will love these little birdies.
- Black onesie (or any surface)
- Sparkle 21: Blue Suede Sparkle, Leaf Sparkle, Night Sparkle
- Straight pin
- Chalk pencil
- something round to trace (I used a glue bottle) This is optional. Feel free to freehand a half circle.

LOVE Tote

This would be cute on the back of a hoodie.

Cupcake Apron
Friday, January 15, 2010
If you can't eat a cupcake everytime you bake, you can wear one! I painted this strawberry cupcake on an apron and matching hot pads. Since it is a simple line art pattern, it takes on a few minutes to complete.
- Apron
- Hot pads
- Sparkle 21: Blue Heaven Sparkle, Limeade Sparkle (or colors that match your apron), Pink Sparkle, Strawberry Sparkle, Pina Colada Sparkle. Crystal Sparkle, and some extra colors if you want to add sparkles
- Printed pattern
- Chalk pencil
1. Print pattern in sizes needed to fit your apron and hot pads. Draw over lines of pattern with chalk pencil. Turn chalk side down on fabric. Rub back of paper to transfer lines.
2. Color in cupcake as desired. Let dry.
3. Add words as desired.
4. Add sprinkles of any colors. Let dry.
Change colors to make your cupcakes in any flavor you like.

Storage Tub
The most fun part of this project is that it was unplanned, informal, casual, no pattern needed, doodling fun. Try it. Grab some colors of Sparkle 21 and just go for it.

Peace, Love, Togetherness, and Glitter
Thursday, January 14, 2010
These tiny canvases have been on my work table calling me to do something with them. I could not decide until a friend sent me the tiny easels. And then I knew. Peace, Love, and Togetherness. When I combined those themes with rick rack, I had 1972 flashbacks! They are easy to make.
- Sparkle 21: Very Berry Sparkle, Blue Suede Sparkle, Pina Colade Sparkle, Limeade Sparkle
- Three 3” square canvases
- Three small wooden easels
- Black acrylic paint
- Small flat paintbrush
- Printed designs
- tracing paper
- Chalk pencil
- 1 yard lime green small rick rack
- white craft glue
1. Paint canvases and easels black. Let dry.
2. Print designs. Lay tracing paper over them and trace with pencil. Trace pattern lines with chalk pencil. Turn chalk side down on canvas. Rub back of paper to transfer lines. Remember to trace the backside of the earth pattern to make the continents face the right direction.
If you are using a different size canvas, use a copy machine to make the patterns the right size.
3. Fill in designs on canvases with Sparkle 21, as desired. Let dry.
4. Glue rick rack around outside edge of each canvas.
5. Outline front surfaces of easel with desired color of Sparkle 21.
