A couple of weekends ago we celebrated my daughter in laws 30th birthday with a big party. I was asked to make some table decorations, so I thought I would share the process with you.
Supplies used were: Glass bottles, Chunky Gold Glitter, PVA Glue, Clear Acrylic Spray (sealer), Black and Gold tissue paper, wooden dowels and sand.
Firstly, I used my electronic cutting machine to cut out a bunch of S’s and number 30’s…

I then added some acetate strips to stabalize the ends of the letters…

Next job was to attach the wooden dowels and strengthen the letter using a lollipop stick and glue on the back to neaten everything up…
Lastly, I glued on the gold 30’s and voila!
The next task was to glitter up those bottles…
Pretty self explanitory really…
To stop the glitter coming off, I spayed a clear Acrylic which sealed all that sparkly yumminess!!!!
Next I made the black and gold pom poms… there are some very good tutorials on Youtube for this step…

So the last step was to glue a wooden dowel to each pom pom. I poured a liitle sand into the bottom of the bottles to stick the dowels into them and also to give the bottles a bit of weight (This helps prevent the bottles tipping over), a little bit of ribbon and …
BIBBITY BOBBITY BOO!!..

Happy crafting and see you soon xxx
