Christmas may be over but that doesn't mean that you have to pack away the glitter! I have a love for anything shiny, whether it is Swarovski crystals, glittering gemstones or shimmering glitter. I am not one of those to embellish everything with rhinestones although I do love the look of some items transformed with imitation gems.
You normally associate glitter with Christmas, and it can be used to adorn festive decorations, home decor, cards and wrapping paper. But there are more uses for glitter, ones that can be used to bring some sparkle to your home.

Decorate Bottling Jars

Custom balloon arrangements are expensive but making your own balloon arrangements is not. All you need are balloons in your choice of colour, some coordinating glitter and scraps of tulle or sheer fabric. Fill clear balloons with glitter and then blow them up, or dip coloured balloons in craft glue and glitter. Oh, so easy!
