I dunno, just something about it just draws me in.<br /><br />I hope the kids had a great time and were just as in awe of the decorations. :)~Shy~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03163597520662449282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-23155209016965202702013-01-24T11:18:53.838-07:002013-01-24T11:18:53.838-07:00That looks like a youth dance/ etiquette dinner I ...That looks like a youth dance/ etiquette dinner I was in charge of, except when someone suggested the idea of using Christmas lights, I expertly delegated that aspect of the decorations to her. And she didn't do the beautiful glitter stars. It's amazing how we try to transform an ugly old gym!!<br /><br />I'm still having a hard time visualizing the gun/glitter spray idea. So is it just the can exploded when it was punctured? Did you take pictures??

Maybe lining them up and spraying with an acrylic adhesive like the canned mod podge, and have a jumbo bottle of chunky glitter to pour over while theyre wet, then they could even be re-sealed afterwards with the same product and the chunky glitter might show up better. I know the dance is over, but just a thought in case something similar ever comes up in the future lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-75948113534696976472013-01-22T16:56:15.033-07:002013-01-22T16:56:15.033-07:00Thanks!

He kept a serious look on his face and said "Well, that is the most logical solution to the problem." The fact that he totally approved and it didn't even phase him made me laugh even more. <br />Whether the glitter showed or not, the result was beautiful!

The theme was Caesar's Palace so we wanted big red/maroon letters. They turned out great. Here's what I did: cut out the letters from poster board, spray painted them maroon, then letter by letter sprayed with adhesive spray and coated with red/maroon loose glitter. As a tip, wrap these up in a grabage bag before you move them anywhere you dont want glitter. It's important that the base is the color you want the shape to look since the glitter will leave gaps. Also, buy more glitter than you think you need. This project uses a LOT of glitter. Hope that helps! I could probably dig up a picture of the final result if you are interested.Allison Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-69181082604861959372013-01-22T10:43:51.860-07:002013-01-22T10:43:51.860-07:00That looks BEAUTIFUL!
