Glittery Freebies for Your Desktop, Smart Phone or Crafts

I like glitter. Case in point, from my New Year's resolutions: "12. create the ultimate glitter stash, talkin' every color & weight possible".

So when I got a new camera to replace my old camera that totally ate it, the first thing I thought to take pictures of to play with it was... GLITTER! So I'm sharing some of the better ones today.

Faux Hammered Metal Tutorial

Right now I'm knees deep in redoing my main bathroom. It is the only bathroom with a shower or tub so, as far as I'm concerned it is the only bathroom that counts (since it is the only one guests normally see). Whenever more than one person needs to pee, however, opinions differ and everyone thinks my teeny water closet off my bedroom is pretty fantastic.

I've been working on more storage room, making my shower appear bigger and all of that good stuff and decided that I wanted to take the abstract art reprint that has been in there for close to 7 years down. But what to go in its place?

I went into the craft closet to find some inspiration. I had a bunch of 8.5 inch tall wood letters but they didn't spell anything good. After playing around I figured out if I bought a "C" I could spell clean! How awesome is that?

The look I really wanted was hammered metal. but since I have no idea how to do that or how to get that onto my letters I decided to try something else out. A few bags of 20mm silver sequins later and I had a plan (faux sho')

Now what is nifty about this is it doesn't have to be used on just wooden letters. This fun way to emulate hammered metal can be used on just about anything!

Christmas Lights Wallpaper

I may have mentioned it before, but I kind of sort of have an attention problem. You wonder what kind of person makes 5-10 crafts a week? One who can't keep still.

So last night I was watching a movie and trying my darndest to JUST watch a movie. It didn't exactly work out. I wound up watching a movie while playing with the settings on my DSLR and taking pictures of my Christmas tree in the corner of the room.

I totally forgot about them until I went to get some pictures off of the memory card to work on a post and I fell in love with this one. It instantly became my destop and I love it because it is abstract but at the same time it's Christmas-y because I know that they're lights. At any rate I figured why not share it?
