Have you ever discovered something new and then asked yourself, “How in the world did I live this long without this?”  Well, once you add Dazzling Details glitter glue to your projects, you will definitely know what I mean. 

I’ve been searching through my files and I realized that somehow I forgot to post photos of this American Girl doll hula costume.  Forgive me!

(Actually, I’m sure I posted it, but I can’t seem to find the post.)
The skirt is made from ribbon.  I cut one piece for the waistband and attached Velcro.  I sewed the skirt pieces to the waistband.

I made the flower pieces from scraps that I had in my scrap pile.  If you make one, be sure to use some glittery paper to add bling to the overall look.

Leave it to our PAL Nancy to come up with these deliciously adorable “L.O.V.E.” blocks for Valentine’s Day!  (Poor Nancy…she dropped a very heavy table on her toe yesterday and broke it!  …her toe, not the table…  Please keep her in your thoughts.  She is in so much pain.)

I’ve been wanting to make a huge candy wrapper box for a long time!  It has always been a challenge for me to figure out how to make the ends of the boxes do that cute fold-and-pop thing that makes the box looks so cute.  Alas, I decided to just buy a box of Ghirardelli peppermint stick chocolates, take the box apart, and copy it.

You’re in luck, because I made a template of the box for you, too!  Download it HERE.

The box is large enough to fit about a dozen chocolates.  (I’m sure you could hide a diamond ring inside there, too.)  It makes a great Valentine’s Day gift.  You can put a gift card inside, too.  Teachers would love to find one on their desk for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?

Do you like the cool “Wonderful You” roses embellishment that I added to the box?

This is what you should end up with when you trace the template onto your cardstock:

Here are some tips to help when you assemble the box:
