Welcome to May Arts Ribbon and Helmar Adhesives Blog Week! We’re partnering with the talented team at Helmar to bring you 2 full days full of design and project inspiration.
Holiday time is the perfect occasion to pull out all the stops on sparkle and shine. I’ve got a quick and easy project that fits both of those categories beautifully and it won’t break your piggy bank!
Here’s your supply list:
(with so many beautiful colors to choose from you can match any décor!)
Clear glass ornaments –craft store
Tree branch
White spray paint
Spray Glitter (optional)
Remove the metal tops from the ornaments. If you’ve never done this, just gently squeeze and pull.
Place a dab of Helmar 450 Quick Dry on the inside of the lip of the bulb.
Cover the base of the bulb with more Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.
I spray painted some tree branches then gave them a bit of sparkle with spray glitter.
You can even wrap up a couple of these sparkly balls for beautiful, thrifty gifts.
Who says we have to use red and green? I found these pretty boxes at a local discount store this summer. They were 3 for 99 cents! A beautiful May Arts Lace bow (NQ09) and you have a lovely gift for everyone on your gift list from teachers to neighbors and office friends.
Thanks so much for joining us on the May Arts/Helmar Blog Hop! Be sure to visit each Design Team blog for more inspiration and of course....May Arts Ribbon and Helmar Adhesive Giveaways!! Helmar is giving away 2 starter packs (one for each day) and May Arts has two full rolls of ribbon for each day...woo,hoo!!

This is much cleaner than using loose glitter. Love the fact that you have better control over your design. And, they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea for either your own tree or as gifts. I LOVE Helmar 450 because you can use it for everything and I didn't know May Arts had that sparkly String, so thank you for making me aware of it. I plan to make some of these as gifts.
