Once again, Pinterest strikes. This time with inspiration for Christmas.
 |
| Old style Christmas lights.......purchased at a church Christmas bazaar for $.50. |
 |
| I have to confess....I hate glitter. Well, I hate working with glitter, and I really hate when my kids want to use glitter. But I love the results, so I stifled my glitter hatred and proceeded. I wanted white or silver, super fine glitter, but I was too cheap to pay for it, so I kept searching. I found this 5-pack of colors on sale for $2.50 at a Craft Warehouse where my parents live. |
 |
| Using a plastic cutting board as a work station, I covered the lights with Mod Podge and poured my glitter into a pinch pot so I could easily sprinkle it onto my lights. Each light took about 30 seconds to create and I clipped them between clothes pins so they could dry. |
 |
| I selected the most Christmassy (Yes it's a word. It means anything pertaining to Christmas) looking colors to work with, but I think the blue is my favorite. I know, I was surprised too because usually I gravitate towards all things pink! |
 |
| Using some acrylic clear coat I sprayed the lights so the glitter wouldn't flake off and get on everything. I think they turned out cute, and super festive. |
 |
| So, what are you waiting for? Go make some glitter lights! |

I LOVE THOSE! I am obsessed with C9 lights. Just my kind of craft, too, instant gratification!:)
Those are so cute!
Yes. Cute. Even better in real time. Make some for your sister, I may never get together with you to make my own. :0)
My mom was bragging about your cutie lights and she was right! I am with Clare the old fashion lights are the best:) However as much as I adore your creation, the glitter is a deal breaker;)
