This week I have been working on a new glitter house. All because I went shopping. :)
I purchased some white bottle brush trees already decorated with turquoise, aqua and silver beads, so of course I had to make a turquoise glitter house to go with them!
I selected two colors of acrylic paint - a lighter and a darker turquoise shade. Above is how the house looked after construction and painting. You can see the trees in the background. You never know where your inspiration will come from. I had no idea when I went shopping that I would find these trees and be excited to make a new glitter house for them to nestle up against.
Once the house was together and painted I set it aside to dry. A couple of days later I added glue . . .
and glitter!
Something about adding the glitter really brings them to life. (And usually makes a few other things sparkle, too.)
The next task is to make a fence and a base for the house and trees to sit on.
Hope your week has some inspiration and sparkle in it!
