I've been a busy bee today! Tomorrow we will be hosting a little get-together for my friend Katie's birthday, and as I am a touch OCD when it comes to hostessing, I've been working on little details.
I have been dubbed "Martha Stewart Meets Dita Von Teese" by my close friends, as well as "Martha Stewart on Crack"...no detail is too small, no gathering will happen without ample amounts of glamour, and when I get an idea in my head, it usually evolves into something ridiculous and over the top.
Case in point: today's DIY project.
I originally had the idea to make Katie one hell of a glittery birthday cake. That idea evolved into glittery cupcakes. That evolved into glittery chocolate-covered-cherry stuffed cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream frosting. That lead to "What shall I display these fantastic cupcakes on?!"
I wanted a majestic, bejeweled, glittery throne for the delicious cupcakes to rest...so off treasure hunting I went!
I returned home with 4 pieces of vintage glasswear from Salvation Army :
Two vintage etched glass plates, and two vintage etched glass desert bowls. Total cost: $4 Above as you can see I already started the gluing process before I decided to take photos. Oops!
I also picked up a bottle of mixable, quick-bond, heavy-duty epoxy suitable for glass. You squirt a little into a dish, mix it up, apply to both edges being glued, hold for 5 minutes, and you're all done!Isn't she a beaut?
Total cost: $5! Not bad if I do say so myself!
Don't those cupcakes look delish? Keep an eye on Fat Glam Kitchen in coming days for the recipe to be posted!
What have you all been making lately? Any crafts or projects you're proud of?
XOXO
