    This such a great topic, one in which if there are children at home we can get them into doing things so they are happy.

    Love the DIY snowflakes!
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

    Frosting your Wine Glasses

    Attachment not found.

    Give your wine glasses an individual touch. This is the ultimate in easy crafting and the results are very pleasing. IKEA is the best place to buy cheap, good quality wine glasses that won't break the bank. And, it's easy!

    What you need
    Glasses
    Masking tape/insulation tape/stickers
    Glass frosting spray
    Sheets of scrap paper

    What it costs
    I picked up a can of frosting spray for a fiver in my local hardware shop.

    How long will it take?
    10 minutes making, three hours drying.


    1. Mask off the area you don't want frosted. I stuck lengths of insulation tape to the glass to create this design, but little circular dots would work to create a polka-dot pattern. Make sure the tape/stickers are stuck on properly and cover the stem of the glass in tape as well if you don't want that frosted.

    2. Place the glass upside down on a piece of scrap paper so you don't get any spray inside and you protect your surfaces. Following the instructions on the can, spray the unmasked area: hold the glass up to the light to make sure you've covered it evenly.

    3. Once dry, peel off the tape carefully.
