Quick Craft and CHEAP too!

So, I noticed Dollar Tree had some large paper stars...normally, I buy mine from IKEA or Pier 1, but I thought, "Only a buck?  Let me try to paint them!"  I really, really love them!  I have three more to make so I can hang them in a group of five.  And to be totally honest...surprisingly, the paper is VERY thick!  Took the paint like a champ!  Sturdier than my fave star from Ikea....OK, so you may like the designs on the ones that come from the other stores, but seriously, just add glitter!  I'm late to the game, but I am discovering that glitter makes EVERYTHING better!

    I have one of those crazy stars sitting right here, wondering what I could do with it, 'cause it's just not me the way it is.
    Thanks for a great idea!

    I'm impressed! I would not have thought of this - they turned out great. I've not done much glittering either - but agree - what a difference.
