Well I took a detour from my 365 Days of Pinterest "Testing one Pin a Day for a Year" and Ill tell you why. Pinterest inspired me to buy a home ... not just any home .. A 200 year old Heritage Home! I saw in this home so much potential, so much DIY! I cant wait to move in in June and blog all the wild and crazy adventures. I also sold my town house. It sold in less then 24 hours with 4 bids and ended at $18,000 more then the asking price. We spent one month completely renovating and staging on a shoestring budget. I used so many tips and tricks from Pinterest for renovating, organizing beautifying and staging! I will be sharing them soon.
SO NOWWWW without further ado back to some fun DIY's! YAY!!
I found this pin when looking for a gift to give my real estate agent and mortgage brokers. All extremely wonderful and inspirational women.
Sparkle Vase!!! oo la la .. nothing like sparkle ..
What you will need:
~ A cute vase (I bought my mini mason jar style vases from the dollar store .. so cute)
~ Flowers (I choose the ever delicate and gorgeous hydrangeas for my adult gifts and fun colorful Gerbera's I gave to my daughter and her friends for their high school talent show)
~ GLITTER!!! Of course I used Martha Stewarts Hexagon Glitter from Michaels purchased with my 40% off coupon as the glitter is almost $30.00 for a 12 pack. worth it
~ ribbon. I used pretty shimmer ribbon for the Gerberas and rustic woven burlap ribbons for the shabby chic Hydrangeas
The rest is pretty self explanitory ..
ribbon on vase
glitter in vase
water in vase
flower in vase.
I filled the vases half way and gifted them in a tiny brown bag .. very cute.
Wa laaa ... glitter and fresh flowers .. such a pretty happy gift.. and when you want a little extra magic you swirl the water in the vase around .. instant glitter globe effect! makes me smile!
find of the week .. pretty vintage butterfly serving dish from a thrift shop :)
