Well hi welcome to my little blog. Just my little corner of craftiness, sewing, and refashioning. I am also a newly gluten free eater so you have a little bit of recipes mixed in here.

Garden fit for a Diva Day 4:Pink Glitter Plant Markers

Can you tell I am excited about my garden? You know I just love my garden fit for a diva. Today I am trying out how things respond to glitter paint on my wooden plant markers.
Unfortunately I took no before pictures just while they were in progress. Basically here is what I did...

I painted the stakes with paint. Then I used my 2 pink glitter acrylic paints, 2 version of it. And I just kept adding layer after layer. Here are them drying layer after layer. Yes this took awhile.



Now here in my plants. I like my glitter ones slightly better but I still like the pink. 

Here is my latest plating... Calla lilies. I can't wait for them to start growing!!


Not going to lie my patio is pretty sparkly and i LOVE it!

xoxoxo,
Lauren

Iron Craft 13- Home; DIY Glitter plant stakes

This iron craft challenge is home. Either something house shaped or for the home. I chose for the home. Lately I have gotten into gardening. I am trying to improve my home and prove that I my home is not a place where plants go to die. I have upcoming posts in June about my new little deck garden, because unlike anyone else I want my plants to sparkle! So what a great addition is some matching plant pot markers covered with glitter! Yeah! Because if worse came to worse, at least my dirt will look pretty. :)


They were super easy to make! First I used outdoor modpodge and covered the back and the chalk board around the edge.


Next add glitter and let dry. Pretty easy. I repeated this for a total of 2 times. Then to seal I covered the glitter with the outdoor modpodge.

Done! Here they are close up



Here it is in my green pepper pot. Which got upset from the bizarre freeze we had a little over a week ago! But I put it in a bigger pot and we are doing good!

Stay tuned for June for my Garden fit for a Diva where I will reveal my crafts with my sparkly plants! :)

Cheers,
Lauren
