A Spoonful of Glitter .....

Makes everything so much more fun

I spent the day covered in paint 

and all sorts of glitter

and thought that maybe I would make a new windchime

I would love to share my shiny new treat with you

It arrives just in time for a spectacular tea party

Yes soon Miss V. from A Fanciful Twist will be hosting her 

Lovely and Magical Annual Tea Party.

Of course being the head of a 

Mad Hatter Secret Society of my Own, and

also living on the Other Side of Wonderland.

I must join in the fun every year.

She is soooo very wonderful and her parties are just 

Delicious

So make sure to stop by for a Spoonful of Mad Tea

Now for our Whimsical Glitter Spoon Windchime

It is really quite simple

All you will need is some elmers glue

an assortment of your favorite colored glitter(I used Martha Stewerts line)

but any would do. I would think the finer would adhere better though

Then some old spoons.

Thread or fishing wire

a wire hanger or other type of hanger

and other embellishments to your liking

Here we go

First bend your spoon to be able to tie the thread to it

also it looks more whimsical this way

Next coat the fat part of the spoon with glue

I just smear on with my fingers

Next sprinkle the glitter all over the spoon and tap off the excess

Yes this a fairy bottle of glitter. It does have wings. 

It loves to fly around though and dust the entire room or my head with glitter

quite often. Mischievious little one

Let dry while you finish the other spoons

Then take a coathanger or other circular object. I guess you could use a stick or straight rod as well.

 It just depends on the look you want

I covered my hanger with some leftover tinsel stars that I had from Christmas

 

Next take three strands of thread and attach at different areas on the hanger

This is going to be what hangs it from the ceiling or wherever else you would like

 Attach each spoon with a line of thread to the hanger. 

Let them hang at different levels for more interest.

 Then just have fun with whatever else you want to add

I added a butterfly and some more tinsel stars climbing up the 

hanging threads, and a little more around the top of each spoon

Maybe later I will add some crystals and more sparkly things.

But for now it is looking lovely hanging on my backporch above 

a lovely Tea Party Table.

If you have any more questions just drop me a line and I would love to 

see what whimsical and wonderful windchimes you created.
