From such humble beginnings I was able to create something pretty cute. Dollar Tree plate chargers and some glitter hot glue come together for this cute scene.
Total Time: 1 hour
Yield: 2
Supplies:
- 2 Dollar Tree plate chargers ($2.00)
- 2 pieces scrap felt ($0.25)
- glue gun
- 6 glitter sticks ($0.30)
- scissors
- hole punch
- 2 suction cups ($0.15)
Steps:
- With the felt banners from another project, I first cut out the shape of the little hangers the balls have on top. Once cut, I glued them onto the ball, making sure the manufactures tag was on the other side.
- Once that is done, get the glue gun nice and hot. This will take several sticks so be ready to load when one is done.
- NOTE: When you change colors, you will have to push the new stick in and "bleed" the last of the old color out. This is tricky so if you don't want a "blended" effect, do it on cardboard or plastic, not on the project.
- Start the glue gun, I used silver on blue and gold on red, as if there was snow on the ball. Like it's melting. Sadly I didn't have any white paint that had not dried up, or I would have made it more realistic.
- Because I didn't have any white paint, I layered the glitter glue so I could get as much on that could be seen. Luckily, this is pointed inward and no one can see my "booboos". Punch a hole in the "hanger" and hang up by suction cup or hot glue. N-JOY!!
