So shiny and sparkly and yes, may I dare say sexy!
So, to add some glitter and summer lovin' to my fallscape, I glittered some starfish I picked up over the summer at The Christmas Tree Shops. They were $1.99 for 6.
At the end of last season, I picked up Martha Stewart Glitter at Michaels - all on sale. I used Brownstone Tinsel Glitter and Copper and Florentine Gold glitters.
I mixed glue with a bit of water in a dixie cup and applied to the starfish. Here is the after. Not a fan of the Tinsel Glitter. It didn't stick as well and shed a bit.
And, here are my starfish in all of their fall bounty glory.
and autumn, a mosaic of them all."

Hey!
LOVE the starfish. I'm seeing a lot of glitter pumpkins, leaves, etc. for fall and I'm really liking it. Maybe I'll have to try something like this out. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog, and for your sweet comment.
Lots of love,
Laura
What a fun idea. I love the starfish with the Fall Glitter colors.
I shared your idea on my TT&J FB page and linked to you :)

I love the glittery starfish! That's sooo pretty! Where is the Christmas Tree Store? I've never even heard of that until this week. I need to check for one in Arkansas.

I love your display. Those starfish are so cool. With daycare I can't really have displays like that but sure can enjoy others. Thank you so much for sharing.
Have a great day. God Bless!!

Thanks!
Thanks for sharing how you put the glitter on!!! I'm preparing a post on how to glitter, so I definitely include your method. I wonder if spray glue works too.
Very cute! I love that you did something different from everyone else's pumpkins and leaves.
I love the glittered starfish!! That's awesome.
I like these! Great idea for those of still trying to do a 'coastal' look as the weather gets chilly!
