Craft it :: Glitter Santa

I showed you my house all decorated for Christmas - and you had the nicest things to say!  Thank you!  A lot of the decorations are things I've had for ages, or were passed down from grandparents collections.  But some of my 'vintage' things can be made at home.  The glittery santa is the simplest.

The best part about this project is that it reuses something that may otherwise be trash.  I found the 'base' for my glittery man at Value Village - but I've seen equally repelling statues at thrift stores, yard sales, and grandparents houses.  I'm sure you can find one too.  The key is to find one with lots of detail and a really distinct shape.  Anything sort of mod and stylized won't work very well.

Step 4 :: Place figurine on second newspaper station and pour glitter from the station 1 newspaper over figurine.
