Large glitter Skeleton’s door hanger upcycle
Do you ever see items at the store that are marked down crazy low? But, you are torn because your not in love with the item? For me these skeleton’s were that item, they were marked 90 off but I wasn’t in love with how they were painted. In the end they were too good of a deal to pass up. I grabbed them and knew I could figure something out. To upcycle these large skeleton’s I gave them a new coat of paint. One of them white and the other black. While the paint was still wet I decided to glitter them. I generously sprinkled black and white glitter…

Round Citrus Fruit Slices
Have you jumped on the tiered tray decor craze yet? Last year I bought myself a small tiered tray and fell in love with them.
