Glitter Stars for the Holidays

Since living in Alaska I have been able to experience seasons! I loved the fall and now we have jumped into winter full force. I haven't lived in the snow since I was a little girl so this is a fun experience for me. This will be our first white Thanksgiving and Christmas as a family. I have been feeling very festive lately wanting to make all sorts of fun decorations for our house. I decided to make some fun glitter starts to hang over the kitchen bar. We are having friends over for Thanksgiving next week and I wanted to have some fun and festive decorations in the house. I printed stars on card stock paper, scored them, cut them, folded them and covered them in glitter. I think they turned out pretty cute. I took the hot glue gun and glued them to a ribbon and then hung them. The only downfall to this project was the fact that I got glitter EVERYWHERE!!!

Halloween Boo Sign

My friend texted me a picture of a cute BOO sign she made out of wood with a little paint and ribbon. I thought it was so cute and wanted to make one. My house is lacking in Halloween decorations big time! I asked my husband if he would cut me some wood squares. Well he never got around to it so today I took it upon myself to make a sign out of cardboard instead. It won't last as long as wood but I think it still turned out pretty cute. I cut three strips of cardboard from a diaper box (which I always seem to have) and folded each once twice into a square. I used a small piece of tape to fasten the end. I covered each square like a present with brown paper I found in my husbands toolbox. Then I painted each square with orange paint and then used white and black paint to create the dots and letters. Once it was all dry I used ribbon and a hot glue gun to attach all three squares. I think it turned out cute enough to hang in my house for Halloween. Maybe next year I will make one out of wood.
