first craft post! get pumped

Alright we all know I am obsessed with crafts. So since I started blogging I have done several amazing projects but they are christmas gifts because we are giving from the thoughtful and homemade section this year. i.e. I am making lots of our gifts this year but they arent cheap or crappy. They are awesome. I am also doing several crafts to decorate our little apartment for christmas/winter. So I saw this on pintrest Pinned Image



and made my own for $5 total!!! WHOA

so get fruit from the dolla dolla store $1 each peice, although the woman at the store ringing up my collection o' crap even admitted they should be 2 for $1. I told her to work on that for me. The get elmer's glue and silver glitter (both sold at the dolla store) but I already had both.

No need to paint them first, your glitter will cover. Spread glue with finger. A very thin layer is all you will need so spread out that big glob I took a pic of until all of your fruit is covered with glue.

Then coat with glitter. I had one paper plate for finished fruit and one to just sprinkle with glitter over so I could put all the excess back in to my jar for later amazing projects.



TA DA!!!! Place in bowl on your counter top or coffee table.People will tihnk you spent $25 at pottery barn for your display. I added ornaments and such with mine to make a little centerpeice. Ill post a pic of that later....


and to leave you on a discusting note...Taylor found out why our bathtub drain wasn't draining very fast.
from the man who won't let me cut my hair....."babe, stop shedding in the shower please, its gross" ugh EMMMMBARASSING!!!
