Tonight, Imaginina and Her Boss took me with them to a local Rescue Mission. Are you noticing a trend here? It is the second time this week that Imaginina and Her Boss invited me and my glitter to a fun night with a group of women. Fun! See Her Boss's blog for more details on the evening.
We visited with a group of girls from age 6 to 60. The glitter glue craft was a hit.
They each chose three colors of glitter glue for their peace signs, and used a high tech tool to blend the colors together. They were masters of the glitter glue tie dye look! And the high tech tool? A toothpick!
Very colorful. And sparkly!
A beautiful rainbow.
This is an old kid's craft. You have probably seen these cute candy cane holders. They are a fun last minute Christmas project requiring some craft foam and glitter glue. I made mine in two sizes, and added glitter glue. The smaller candy cane mouse is a pin. You or your kids will have fun making these.
Kids of all ages! I had fun working on these, myself. Even so, they are simple enough for kids to make.
2. Fill the shape with Big & Glitzy. The thicker the glitter glue, the more sparkle when dry.
3. Set gems into Big & Glitzy while wet.
4. When Big & Glitzy is dry, cut shapes out.
5. Use a small hole punch or a small nail to make a hole at the top of each ornament. Use a piece of wire or an ornament hanger to hang the ornament on the tree.
