DIY Glitter Ornaments: 3 Easy Techniques
Everyone knows that the best ornaments on the tree are the ones that sparkle. They catch your eye and make you feel like this is the most wonderful time of the year. This year why not try to make your own Glitter Ornaments with Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue Adhesive. Here are 3 ways you can make your Christmas sparkle. What you need: Aleene’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue Clear plastic ornaments Glitter (4 colors of your choice) Small funnels Solid Glitter Ornament This one is super easy but sparkles just the same. For this ornament, start off by removing the hook from the top. Then fill the inside with the glitter adhesive. Pour the glitter color of your choice inside the ornament and roll around until the entire inside is covered. Once its covered, put the hook back on top. Ombre Glitter Ornament First we have the ombre glitter ornament. Ombre is such a huge trend from hair to make up and now crafts, we couldnt resist! Take the plastic ornament and remove the hook. Then apply the adhesive to the entire inside of the ornament. Take one of the glitter colors and pour it inside the ornament. Roll it around until it covers the bottom half of the ornament. Next take another color, either lighter or darker, and pour it in the ornament. Try to keep it towards the top half of the ornament. Again, roll it around until the ornament is covered. Place the hook back in and now you have an ombre glitter ornament. Swirl Glitter Ornament This ornament allows for a little more creativity as you get to create swirls or designs of your choice. All you need to do is freehand the swirls on the outside of the ornament with the glitter adhesive. Then with the color of your choice, sprinkle glitter over the adhesive to create a dazzling design. We hope you fill your tree with all the glitter ornaments you can make. Be sure to use the glitter coat adhesive to create name ornaments or write your favorite holiday words. Your tree is sure to catch everyone's eyes this holiday season. These dont have to go on the tree. Put them in a bowl and create a great center piece for your living room coffee table. They also make great gifts!

How to Glue Fabric and Paper onto Metal: Colorful Boho Can Organizers
Hey everyone it's Jaderbomb here with a really fun project! Today I will show you how to turn ordinary metal cans into colorful boho containers to store so many things in! Just for the record this is a kid friendly project and that is always a plus. Hopefully you will be so inspired and never throw away your cans of corn and peas again, hehe! Let's get started! What you need: Aleene's Repositionable Tacky Spray Empty Tin Cans Craft Paper / Fabric The first thing you will do is choose a container that you want to use. I grabbed some corn out of my cabinet, emptied everything out, cleaned the inside really good then took the paper off. The good news is you they have so many sizes like this you can make large ones or small ones! Get your Tacky Spray and spray a light even layer onto the outside of the can. I actually like to spray a little extra then I let it sit for a few seconds to get sticky. It is good to have your paper or fabric already cut when you decide to spray your container. Below I will show you how I cut my paper. Grab a sheet of paper that you like and and wrap it around the container. This way is the easiest way to see exactly where you need to cut your paper to fit perfectly around your container. You can see I marked a line on each side with a colored pencil, however you can use anything you have handy. If your container is too large for one sheet to go completely around you will have to use another sheet of paper. Just repeat the steps. You can use a ruler to match up the lines and draw a light light all the way across the paper so you can cut it perfectly. Once your paper is cut stick it to the outside of the container. As I said earlier, I suggest you have your paper cut before you spray your can with the tacky spray. I wanted to dress up the top and bottom of my container so I sprayed a light layer of the tacky spray at the top and bottom then wrapped my thread around it. Make sure to do one section at a time! Trust me this tacky spray is the bomb and your thread will stick right away! Wrap until you don't see any of the can. Do this on the top and bottom! Don't forget the other end! Now I will show you how to make a tassel. As you can see I had a lot of embroidery thread to choose from but we need to add lot's of color into our lives so don't be scared to bust out some bold colors. To start making your tassel you will wrap the thread around your hand multiple times like this. The more you wrap the thicker your tassel will be! I like them THICK! Once you are happy with the amount of thread around your hand have someone tie a knot close to your finger then cut the bottom loop with a pair of scissors. Give it a good shake with your hand and the tassel will loosen up and it will be beautiful! Remember there is a loop at the top where your finger and we will use that to pass thread through later! Once you thread your tassels you can wrap them around the can! How stinking cute are these! You can store make up brushes, colored pencils, art brushes or even put flowers in them! I truly am happy with the way they turned out. So Boho and if know me then that is right up my alley! If you want to see another cool project that your kids will love click HERE. I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did! See you in the next post! XOXO, Jaderbomb Make sure to visit me on social media, I'd love to hang out with you online!
