Glitter Flowers wall decoration DIY


In my "It's time for check list... " post I wrote about making a  multicolor glittered flowers to decorate the walls and thought maybe you'd like to do the same for your kid's room decorations,so I took some making of photos to share with you
To make your wall shine,you'll need -
a simple sticky stencil
any glaze you use for your paper crafts
paint brush 
glitter 



  1. Cut any shape you like using a sticky sheet- I'm using a simple vinyl and my Silhouette cutter machine to cut my stencil,but you easily can cut a simple shape in the vinyl by using your craft knife 
  2. Stick the vinyl stencil in it's chosen place on the wall
  3. Put a nice coat of glaze in the "stamping" area 
  4. Wait a bit till it becomes a bit tacky 
  5. Using your fingers, "glue" the glitter in the previously glazed areas 
  6. Peel of the stencil-don't let the glaze dry,otherwise while pulling,you may accidentally  remove some of the glitter off the wall
  7. Let dry and enjoy the sparkles

Shabby Chic Jewelry Display Bulletin Board-DIY


Princess Sierra has a lot of Royalty jewels which must be put somewhere ...so I had a thought of  making one of these display frames you often see in jewelry shops and craft fairs.
I had all the needed supplies and within a hour or so,Shabby Chic jewelry display was born 




To make one for yourself,you'll need -
cardboard
cork sheet
gypsum or acrylic shapes 
white spray
hot glue
double sided tape
and some push pins

Gather your supplies
  1. Shape with your gypsum flourishes the frame you'd like to create and trace that shape on your cardstock 
  2. Cut the cardstock and the cork accordingly 
  3. Using your double sided tape, tape the cork onto the cardstock                                                         *I used two layers of the tape to give some "meat" to the display board otherwise,the cork sheet is too thin and the push pins won't hold in place.                                                                            If you're not going to make an intricate shape for your display board,you always can upcycle an old and ready bulletin board,which usually has a layer of cardboard inside,that will give you enough depth to stick the pin in...Otherwise,use my method 
  4. When your base is ready,it's the paint job time- spray the gypsum shapes with the white spray to give them the Shabby look
  5. Hot glue the shapes onto the bulletin board  you had previously create 
  6. Spray it white too
  7. Stick in your push pins and here you have it-your beautiful handmade jewelry display
