Okay, my SO’s birthday is tomorrow night, and the theme is gonna be “elementary school stuff”.
Wjat I want to do (in addition to what I have already done: The Play-Doh figures, The Slinky, and the incredibly ugly cake I just baked and decorated) is to make jer a big poster with “Happy Birthday Pretty Pammy” written on it in purple glitter, but I forgot how to do it! For instance, what glue do you use, and then do you just throw the glitter all over the poster?
I mean, it sounds right, but I get the feeling I’m missing something. Is all this stuff available at Target?
I’ll be up all night cleaning my kitchen which looks like Taz just went through here, so I would appreciate your ideas!
Any other things I missed?
Thanks!
Q
BTW: The cake looks horrific, and I consumed most of the cream cheese frosting myself, because that’s the way my German mom taught me: Whatever you can’t scrape off the spoon goes in your Mund!
What I always did as a kid is put a lot of glue in the shape of the words and then dump glitter on it. Let it dry and then shake off the extra glitter.
I seem to recall using Elmer’s glue thinned with a bit of water. You had to be fairly quick about it, or the glue would dry before you could toss the gltter on it. If so, no worries, just repaint the dried bits, preferably slopping some glue in the wrong places and smearing it a bit in a futile attempt to clean things up, throw on some more glitter, and Bob’s your uncle !
Check out your local craft store or craft section in any super-mart. They have pre-glittered glue, glue pens etc. If all else fails you can also buy glittery letter-shaped stickers. It will save you alot of mess.
Oh, and whatever you decide to do, remember that you and your clothing will be glittery for the next few days
Thank Y’all! I went for the quick fix with the glue pens! It looks like a hurry-up job by a fourth-grader, but that is the effect I was going for anyway.
The major present is disguised inside a box of Cracker-Jacks, and the champagne’s in the fridge with Scooby-Doo cups to serve it in (couldn’t find Popeye ones) ready as well!
If I’m missing something, Y’all let me know, okay? We still have 15 hours to play with!
