Craft Night

Last night I got together with some friends to drink sangria, eat meatballs and make wreaths.  All three of us picked a different kind of wreath to attempt to recreate from Pinterest.  I choose to make this tulle wreath for a white Christmas vibe.  To begin you need: 3-4 yards of tulle (I used a white-silver) cut into 14" L x 3" W strips, a hot glue gun, a embroidery hoop, ribbon and some fun flair to glue on the top of the wreath.

I tied the strips of tulle all the way around the wreath (double knot)
I hot glued some glittery ribbon over the embroidery hoop to hide the tulle knots
I topped it off with some winter flair: white feathers, sparkly branches and a glitter pine cone...done!
Lindsey made an autumn wreath and it turned out so good!

Glitter-Tip Nails

Start with a base color and let it dry completely (I chose a gold by Butter London)
Using a good, clear polish paint across the tip of your nail
Gently tap out the glitter across the tip of your nail where the clear polish is painted and let dry (I used a micro-gold glitter from Ulta by NYC)
When your nails have dried, brush off the excess glitter and your done!
