All That Glitters

I have a new affinity for the colour gold. It's pretty trendy in home decor right now and thanks to blogs like The Glitter Guide, Kate Spade and J.Crew and magazines like Matchbook, gold is certainly having a very pretty resurgence.

I wrote the other night about an amazing glitter deer head that my friend Marjorie made, well I had to make one for my own. This was such an easy project! I couldn't get my printer to print a deer head silhouette the size I wanted to I just free handed it, added the glue and lots of gold glitter. Looks like I AM putting my degree in advanced arts & crafts to good use after all!

not bad, right?

Here are a few other gold items I'm coveting ...

Glitter Deer Silhouette

We had a lovely Christmas get together at a friend's today and I fell in love with an incredible deer silhouette she made in gold glitter for the holidays. It is stunning. The best part? She made it out of supplies purchased at the dollar store for less than three dollars!

Isn't it just lovely?

Here is what you need to make a Glitter Deer Silhouette:

1. Print off a reindeer silhouette from the Internet
2. Trace onto a canvas (any size!)
3. Apply basic Elmer's glue with a paintbrush to silhouette
4. Cover in glitter!

I'll be making one of these tomorrow, and leaving up all year long. Thanks for the inspiration, Marjorie!
