When In Doubt, Just Add Glitter!

Every girl needs a little sparkle in their life.  These glitter signs are a quick and easy way to showcase your favorite quote or brighten up a lackluster room.  The possibilities are endless which is half the fun!  After all, a little glitter never hurt anyone...unless of course it's in your eye.

All you need is a frame, glue, glitter and a paint brush.  We used a couple of old frames we found around the house, so the whole project cost under $10!

We put our designs together using Adobe InDesign, but any type of word processing program will do.  Next, we used a large format printer to print our designs since the frames we chose were so large.  You can also free hand your piece or use a stencil if you'd like! 

Now for the fun part...the glitter!  Make sure you work pretty quickly so your glue doesn't dry.  We found that it worked best to do one letter at a time.

As you can see, my bullmastiff, Bruin, was happy to be my muse for the day.

Chelsea added a border to hers which really made it stand out.  Overall, this was a really simple, inexpensive project that only took about an hour to complete but looks like a million bucks!
