Hi All,
Starting Monday I will have uploaded several videos on how to:

1. Age Tinsel/ Chenille Stems, etc.
-Have you ever wanted to buy vintage tinsel, but its too expensive, or found reproductions that are still expensive or sell out, I have a solution for that, with a few simple steps you will have that aged tinsel, this method will work on any color tinsel or pipe cleaner/chenille stems you have, and any thickness.

2. Age your glitter projects, silver glitter, etc.
-Learn how to make bright silver glitter or beautiful Martha Antique glitter look 50 years old.

3. Make your own glitter and mica flakes, 3 different ways from stuff in your house.

4. Age Crepe Paper, Paint it, stamp it, the works in this video.

5. Make a Vintage German ornament from scratch in less then 30 minutes.

All these videos will be available on my blog and flickr site this week, starting monday!


Magic and Joy!
Lisa!
