More Baby Feet

Who can resist little baby feet? Any craft with cute baby feet is instantaneously A-DOR-A-BLE!
I recreated this precious Etsy Ornament. This is how I did it.

Materials:
  • Frosted white ornament
  • Coral Martha Stewart glitter (Try Blue Sapphire glitter for a boy)
  • Mod Podge
  • Ink pen (to draw footprint)
  • Small paint brush (about a 1/2 inch or smaller)
  • Sweetheart silver glitter stickers by Sticko
  • scrap paper
  1. Outline the footprints using the pen (a pencil might work too)
  2. Using the paint brush and Mod Podge, fill in your outline (work quickly or you may choose to do one foot at a time)
  3. Sprinkle glitter over the Mod Podge and shake excess onto a piece of paper
  4. Let dry(15-20 minutes) and clean off your brush.
  5. Use the dry brush to brush away excess glitter. ( Repeat steps 2-5; if needed)


 For the back:
  1. Find the middle of the ornament and place stickers from the inside and work out. (I started with the letters "y and d" for Kayden.) 

These would make a great baby's first Christmas gift.

Santa Claus is coming to...

a tree near you! This is my version of the Santa's belt ornament. Just use the Pledge Glitter Ornament and hot glue a felt belt around the ornament. I used Elmer's glue and silver glitter for the belt buckle. Simple and easy!

Glitter Me



If you didn't know already...I LOVE glitter? Glitter just makes everything better (I have probably said that a hundred times before, but it's true!)...especially Christmas ornaments! I have to thank Amy E. for sharing this great idea. This is the simplest way to decorate glass Christmas ornaments. The best part is that all the glitter stays inside of the ornaments!  I can't wait to try some ornaments with my Martha Stewart glitter set!
Supplies:
clear glass ornaments
Pledge Floor Care
plastic wrap (not pictured)
Glitter






  1. Carefully squeeze the top off of the ornament
  2. Pour the Pledge inside of the ornament (see photo)
  3. Cover the opening with plastic wrap and swirl the Pledge to coat the inside of the ornament
  4. Pour the excess Pledge back into the container
  5. Sprinkle the glitter inside the ornament
  6. Lightly shake the ornament to coat the inside of the ornament with glitter
  7. Let dry (30 minutes per the bottle), carefully squeeze the top back on, and enjoy!

Glittered Ornaments

Did you know that I absolutely love glitter and Christmas? So what could be better than glittered Christmas ornaments? A friend of mine hosted a fabulous Pinterest party and I had a blast sharing these glittered ornaments. They were really simple to make.
Supplies:
plain ornaments
double sided tape
glittered stickers
And my favorite...GLITTER
1. Place the glittered stickers on the ornament
2. Cut the tape in half (this is how I made the thin designs)
3. Place the tape on the ornament
4. Roll the ornament in glitter.

SALES and COUPONS

I love stores like Michaels and JoAnn Fabric and Crafts . I love them even more when I have a 50% off coupon. I have had my eyes on this Martha Stewart Glitter Set for a couple of months now. I used my coupon today and I can't wait to start "glitterfying" everything!

What have you glittered lately?
