I'm not the biggest fan of working with glitter. Mainly because I always seem to make a mess with it. But I do love the look in the end. This week I broke out my German glass glitter and some Martha Stewart glitter for some quick Xmas touches. First up is this old pocketwatch:
I've seen this look on Etsy and wanted to take a crack at it so when my husband dug up this old watch, I immediately staked my claim!
I covered the top part and part of the front with Mod Podge, and then I dipped the watch into my German glitter glass. I love the icy/snow affect the glitter glass adds to it! It's hanging from a piece of that plaid fabric that is quickly becoming my go to for holiday projects.
These little birdies are from Ikea. They come in a package of 4 in plain white for something like $4.99. When I saw them, I knew I wanted to give them a quick sheet music makeover. I also added the French stamps and gave them a generous coating of the Martha Stewart glitter. I left the backs plain - just with the sheet music. I think they have a Pottery Barnish feel to them with the sheet music, don't you?
