I have this thing about New Year’s Eve.If I’m going to go out to party, I’m going to go out with some major sparkle. Ringing in the New Year is one of those over-the-top opportunities to scootch out of your comfort zone. So go big!
Supplies:
Aleene’s® Original Tacky Glue®
Crafty Chica® Chunky Glitters™
(SciFi Silver)
Chipboard numbers
Glittered ribbon, about 12-15″ long
Clothespins
Plastic haircombs (medium)
Any other desired embellishments
Directions: Coat the letters with the Tacky Glue and then coat with glitter, set aside to dry. Fold the ribbon three times and glue the edges so it has a tapered bottom. Add glue to affix the ribbon to the front of the comb. Add the numbers, and then the embellishments. Use the clothespins to hold everything in place until the glue dries.
I know this is big and gaudy, but it is much classier than a huge pair of plastic 2011 fake eyeglasses, don’t you think? You can actually carry on a serious conversation while wearing this!
Happy New Year!
And … it’s in Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2011 – Honeysuckle!
Happy New Year, Kathy.
