Frost on the Beach

Ready to make something that cost me next to zip because I had almost all the goodies on hand?

And even if you don't have everything already in your craft stash, 

most of this can be scooped up at the dollar store.

 Let's take a leftover Dollar Tree foam wreath that we did NOT make into a crashing alien spaceship.

Hey, no judging.

Spray paint it silver.

 Now, let's hit up the stash.

 Flat backed marbles.

 Beads.

 Sea glass.

 Pretty little white shells. Essentially, some vase filler.

 Add white glitter, wine, a $2 ornament from Walmart (okay, this is the one purchased item), some ribbon and Goop adhesive. Have the hot glue bubbling on the side.

 Smear some Goop on the wreath and start placing your elements, arranging them randomly as you please.

 Keep going until you have all but the top two inches encrusted.

 Now, loop a little hot glue over the top.

 Sprinkle on the white glitter. Oooooooooooooo, shiny!

Wait...what were we making?

 Nab some 2 inch wide wired ribbon.

 Loop it around the wreath, tie it once, and take a second bit of ribbon and tie a bow. Hang the wreath from the long length of ribbon against a mirror to magnify the sparkle.

 Suspend a snowflake bauble from the ribbon using silver wire to just nudge the glitz over the top,

 

Stash busting. It's merry and bright.

This is why recycling is cool.
