DIY Glitter Branches

Such a cute and CHEAP idea for decorating for the holidays. Add a few decorative vases to put them in, and you’ve got a super sparkly room!

What You’ll Need:

• Tree branches (Make sure they’re thoroughly dry!)
• White glue
•  Spray glue
•  Paint brush
• Cookie sheet
•  Silver spray paint
•  Silver glitter
•  Clear Colorfill accents (You can get them at Michael’s or other craft stores) OR Epsom Salt

Directions:

1. Find a branch outside that you want in the size and shape that you like. Choose a few if you want to do more than one. Cut down to shape using lopping shears.
2. Spray with silver spray paint and allow it to dry.
3. Spray the spray glue over the whole branch making sure to get all the nooks and crannies.
4. Sprinkle the silver glitter over the branch. Hold branch over a cookie sheet to help catch the glitter when it falls. If you do it outside, then it will be cleaner (choose a non-windy day).
5. Glue in random places to make it look icy, then sprinkle with clear Colorfull accents over the glue (or Epsom salt). This creates an “icy build up”.
