Glitter and Dollar Tree Strikes Again...

Nana was up using a walker in the hospital hallway yesterday. Not sure how far or long she was able to walk, but this is major progress. She hasn't been able to walk in weeks because of the fluid build-up. At this point, she's lost over 60 pounds in fluid. Additional diagnostic tests are needed before they can provide us with a prognosis, but the doctors want more fluid to be gone first. Keep those prayers coming.

I've got another simple and inexpensive craft...snowflake garland.

Dollar Tree is selling these snowflake cutouts (6 in a bag). I purchased 2 bags because they had 2 different snowflake shapes and I wanted to alternate shapes on my garland. The length of my fireplace only needed 6 snowflakes total. Other supplies include fine glitter, white glue and ribbon.

Step 1. Coat the snowflake with white craft glue.

Step 2. Sprinkle glitter and let dry.

Step 3. Thread your ribbon through your snowflakes.

Step 4. (optional) I added snowflake scrapbooking stickers found in the $1 section of Target to the center of each snowflake.

See what you can do with some glue, glitter and ribbon. Now, isn’t this a fun garland?

Go grab some while they are still available!! Happy Crafting and Merry Christmas!
