More Glitter

Ya'll are probably tire of hearing me talk about glitter but seriously it's like THE greatest thing ever invented in the world of arts and crafts. It just makes everything so... fun!  So, I recently used foam core to make some letters which I spray painted and glitterized using mod podge and glitter. 

I would love to tell you that I spray painted them for some amazing reason but, honestly, I was originally only going to spray paint them until I realized how boring they looked.  With the glitter added you can still see some of the purple though.  Especially through the pink glitter ones.  (The R and A.)

They're now on a shelf in my room that couldn't hold anything else. (I have a slanted ceiling so it's hard to store stuff up high.)  The letter's are a bit disproportionate but it gives it a more eclectic look. Right?

Spray Painting EVERYTHING

Lately I've had a bit of an obsession with spray paint.  I just LOVE that you can change the look of something so easily (and for very little money) with spray paint.  I'm moving in an apartment in a little over a month and I'm trying incredibly hard to not spend a ton of money on new stuff because, let's face it, college students are broke.  So far I have yet to spend more than $20 on any piece of furniture and most of it is being given to me for free. (Thank you parents!)

My bathroom last year was all brown with brightly colored polka dots and, of course, Target stopped selling that design.  So, rather than spending a bunch of money on new bathroom accessories I decided to spray paint the stuff I already have and  change the theme of my bathroom slightly.  

The garbage can and toothbrush holder are now a really pretty shade of turquoise  which will match my brown and turquoise towels (which I already own). Perfect right? It's a bit more boring the the polka dots it used to have but I can always personalize it later. (Or spray paint it again?)
