DIY New Years Confetti Stemware



    Oh the New Year is coming! It is kind of like a new beginning. People making New Year's resolutions and vowing to make this year better than the last.  I really don't have a New Year's resolution but I always have the same goals like being healthy, more organized, hold on to less, etc.... While getting ready to celebrate New Year's Eve with my  family I decided to bring you a simple  DIY project.  This DIY Confetti stemware project is as simple as it gets and requires very few materials. 
You need: 
Stemware of your choice 
sharpie paint pen




I taped off a section where I wanted to write 2014 so that I could make sure I got it straight and the numbers all the same size.



I then just drew the numbers on with the pen.  Then I just made random dots at the top of the gals to create the confetti effect.
This project was so easy I literally did it in bed! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

DIY Tie Dye Ornaments

 
 
   After making the superhero ornaments my daughter and I played around with the extra glass ornaments we had. When you add two colors you end up with this pretty tie dye effect. It looks more like color blocking when you first start moving the two colors around together, but when you are hanging it upside down as its drying then it starts to look like this. To make these ornaments follow the same directions as the DIY Superhero Ornaments=Perfect for My Little Boy except add two colors instead of one.

Happy Holidays!

DIY Superhero Ornaments=Perfect for My Little Boy




   I saw a picture of ornaments on Pinterest that I just had to make for my little boy. He lives in a home with 4 little girls so I like to do something special for him from time to time. The kid sure has to deal with a lot of girl drama! He is definitely all boy though. He loves monster trucks, pirate swords, and of course Superheroes! I always make time to watch a movie with him like Thor, Captain America, etc. I have to say that I have come to enjoy them myself or maybe that's just because I know how much he enjoys them. This project was especially fun for me because my little guy got to help.

Items needed:
Craft paint (in the colors of your choosing)
Clear glass ornaments with removable tops ( I purchase mine from Hobby Lobby)
Glue ( I used Hodge Podge)
Paper ( I printed the logos I found online on plain paper)
Empty toilet paper roll ( I used it to set the ornaments on to dry)

Remove the metal piece from the top of the ornament.


You are going to use an empty toilet paper roll as a place for the ornaments to sit and dry. I didn't have enough so I cut some of them in half.
Pour your desired color into the ornament.

Then you are going to roll the paint around in the ornament until all the inside surface is covered with paint.
 

I printed logos I found on the internet to plain white paper.







Put glue on the back side of the paper and then stick it onto your ornament.

Let them hang upside down so that all the excess paint can run out and the ornaments dry.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
