Calling these no sew ugly sweater ornaments “ugly” feels silly because, really, I think they’re adorable.

Just thoughts happening in my head tonight.

It occurred to me that I haven’t used them because they didn’t match any of my holiday decor. When I thought of the perfect project to use them with, I had to figure out how to get them to match. And, then, it hit me. I had all the supplies on hand (and if I hadn’t it would have been super easy to get them).

I love using these Tattered Angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mists and am surprised it took me so long to figure out they’d be perfect for re-coloring my bottle brush trees. And, it was SO easy. Here’s what I did.
I know what you’re thinking; glitter guide? No way, no how. Sometimes I feel sad for this shiny sparkly gem and believe it really is the most misunderstood craft supply.
But! It doesn’t have to be. With just a few tips and this handy glitter guide, it can be your new best friend. It’s sparkly, it shines, it practically sings with joy.
Okay, I sing with joy over glitter. And, hopefully, so will you. Glitter can’t sing.
Tip 1: Don’t listen to what your friends are saying. Glitter is good. Glitter is kind. Glitter is important. If your friends insist, get new friends.
