Krafty Korner: All that glitters

We would like to share yet another of the little projects we completed for our nursery. This one was a lot of fun. All it involved was a little patience and creativity. The materials used were: heavy gauge wire, glitter, glue, needle nose pliers, scissors and card stock. It works best if you sketch out the vision that sits in your minds eye, before beginning. If you have no artistic ability, use patterns to draw the shapes before cutting and glittering. Bend the wire into any desired share you wish. Just remember to balance the objects that will be attached to the wire. Our project tip would be to use glass glitter for a more professional look. Don't just stop at glitter... you can also use paint, cloth and magazine clippings. The possibilities are endless! Remember, just have fun with your little creations for your little one.

Oh, we got the idea from folk artist, Wendy Addison. You can view more of her stuff at the bay berry cove link below. Best of luck if you decide to take on this crafty idea.
