Gettin' Crafty! Glitter Switch Plate DIY

Hello fashionistas!
I like to think of myself as somewhat crafty, so I decided to do a little weekend do it yourself project. 
I love unique things, but I really really really love unique glitter things, so I decided to combine the two! Here is my how to guide to a glittery switch plate!


Gather your supplies. I used a teal and silver glitter from Michaels, Mod Podge, a painter's tray, a foam brush, and my switch plate cover. I placed a folder underneath my glitter mess to contain the chaos! 


At first I mixed my two glitters with the Mod Podge in the painters' tray and brushed it on with my foam brush. I then waited 20 minutes before doing my next coat. When I did the next coat I decided to do just the glue and then sprinkle the glitter on and brush it evenly all over. I repeated this for 3 more times. Make sure to wait at least 20 minutes in between each coats of glitter and glue! 

I forgot to include a picture of the clear lacquer finishing spray I put on the switch plate when all my glitter was dry to avoid any flaking. 


Ta-da! Glittery, girly, and very easy to do! 
You can use any colored glitter that you want for this and I am sure it will turn out fabulously.

Today I spent my morning doing zumba and yoga with a friend. Then my friend and I went out for tasty post workout smoothies. I came home and soaked up some sun. 
I plan on trying a few more DIYs over the summer, do you guys have any DIYs that I absolutely have to do?

My Day in Pictures (and a few words...)

Hey dolls!


This is my dad while he was taping the walls to paint and our cats always jump up there and he was pretending to be a cat! This made me laugh so hard! No I do not know what's up with his socks!


Nothing like a little biology to put you to sleep!
I was reading about plants in case you were curious, and no it wasn't for fun; I have a test on Thursday and decided to read 2 out of the 3 chapters today.


Java literally jumped in my lap while I was reading some of the chapters for biology and scooted the book over. Well he didn't but he made me! He proceeded to sleep on my lap for quite a long time.


I decorated a boring notebook today, I got this great idea from Caro over at *Caroleena85*.
If you aren't already following her then I suggest you do! She has really good crafty ideas and cute outfits!
