Snowflake Garland

I know that garlands aren’t anything new, but since my girls are crazy about glitter I changed some of the common supplies to help the garland survive outside the house.

Instead of paper I used white and pink foam board to make the snowflakes. After the usual glue and glitter on the foam snowflakes I sprayed the them with the all-purpose spray adhesive to help the glitter stay on. I used hot glue to attach the foam to the string.

Outside Chandelier

Winter seems to be the hardest time for me. I just want to be outside creating and having in the sun. So in the next few weeks if you see some posts that seem too Springy – well—I am just in preparation mode or boredom mode.  With that said, how cool is this chandelier?

Art is Beauty is responsible for this great idea.
