The tree is down. I put it next to our fireplace this year, and totally dried it out. While I'm a little sad to see Christmas go, I was tiring of the endless versions of little drummer boy I've heard over the last month. Fortunately I have next week's NYE party to look forward to. I'm making my first photo booth for the occasion, and I've been working on some festoons for the party guests. While packing away our Christmas haul, I discovered a box of this net-like craft paper padding, and I thought it might look pretty nifty spray painted gold, fashioned into a paper crown. I also painted feather tips with school glue, then dredged them in old fashioned glitter. To make both, all you'll need is some cheap-o plastic headbands, hot glue, masking tape (or washi) and gold metallic spray paint. See photo tutorial below...

The glittery feather headband is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these ideas! So creative and different from everything else out there. Wish I had found this before NYE, but I'll squirrel it away for next year. Happy 2014!
