Glitter Sugar Skulls
I finished the Glitter Sugar Skull - Dollar Tree Hack post so late last night that the lighting in my studio wasn’t adequate to take these photos. I wanted to provide these detailed photos for those of you who want a little inspiration. There are endless ideas on the internet too, and many of them are free to print. Just Google Sugar Skulls and click on Images. A menu will appear below Images. Click on “printable.” You can print out designs and practice squeezing the glitter glue onto them if you want to practice a little first.

Buttons & Braids Christmas Trees
This is a great way to reinvent a favorite dress shirt, t-shirt, pair of pajamas, or in my case all three.
String Jars
String jars aren't just for the kitchen and craft room. Think about giving them as hostess gifts with handmade wrapping paper, brown craft paper you've embellished yourself, or paper bags decorated with vintage newsprint.
Gift Tags Revisited
Making gift tags is comforting to me. When the rest of my world is falling apart, I retreat to my studio and cut paper. It's easy.
