Look what Miss Mustard Seed started! Have you all watched her "how to?". I'll blushingly (and reluctantly) admit that these are the ones that were purchased with the glitter already on. Sorry this isn't the best photo, but I liked "Merry Me."
I did take a look at the glass glitter on line, but I wanted instant gratification. Plus, I was plagued by indecision. Would classic silver look best? What about all of the gold in my house? The bright green looked pretty awesome, too...
Warning: This post contains lots of photos.
(OK, that looks like m&m's, just sayin'.)We had a lot of fun with them anyway. Fun-sized Chick and I played with these on and off for a couple of days. (We're not love-starved here, promise!) Another "Warning!" They are addictive.
We used my silver spray-painted trays from way back, boy these things just keep showing up on a lot of posts, definitely a project worth doing.
When I first started with the letters, I used a refrigerator magnet that was an old thin school calendar. When that ran out, I purchased a roll of magnetic tape.
My suggestion would be if you are going to do this, hold out for the roll of magnetic tape. It holds much better. My thin ones don't slip, they just don't have as strong a hold.
If you are trying to decide whether you should make these or not, the answer should definitely be:
Wishing you...
this holiday season.
I loved reading this post! THe "look what MMS started" written on the tray made be LOL. It doesn't matter if you bought them pre-glittered. They look wonderful!

ReplyDeleteHate to admit I saw "M&M's" too and it went over my head 'till I saw MMS's comment! Duh!
wow,i thought those were plates, and they are not.Those old trays look great like that and you see so many at the salvation army stores. Maybe food safe paint too. And Fantastic with the letters. Guess I need to follow some links back.
