Timed out

Yay for me, we're on hols for a week. We're off for a bit of family fun and sunshine (please!). Bit random, but there you go.

I've got a guest postie delivery scheduled over at Diminishing Lucy's on Tuesday, so be sure to visit us there. Lucy's blog was the third blog I ever read (my sisters' blogs were first and second, natch) and she is like my third blogging sister, I love her so.

Enjoy the post and see you on Friday night for much gratefulness.

Pink glittery deer ornament

Over the past couple of weeks I have been working on some handmade Christmas decorations to fit in with my Winter Wonderland colour palette and theme. Next up is the pink glittery deer ornament to hang on my Christmas tree. I want to use lots of my Christmas tree decorations from last year but I also want to inject some pink colour into my decorations, so I painted and glittered some inexpensive craft deer ornaments pink.

Pink glittery deer ornament, How-to step by step

Start by carefully painting the deer in pink paint using a small paint brush, ensuring to get into all the fret work, and leave to dry. Brush PVA glue onto painted deer and immediately sprinkle with pink glitter before the glue starts to dry. Tap string holding deer lightly to remove excess glitter and hang up to dry. Once dry, remove silver string and replace with pink and white bakers twine, securing the ends with a knot.

Tip
I hold my deer over a clean small plastic pot when sprinkling with glitter to catch any excess glitter so it can be reused.
