I hate being cold – I literally have no patience for it, and I can’t drink hot chocolate and stay warm all day long. It’s maddening.
I do however, LOVE looking outside and seeing the sun shining onto a dazzling sparkly white sheet. (Why is my first though Edward Cullen? haha!)
This project was inspired by a few factors:
1. I needed a parent gift to send home with special education students for Christmas presents. And by the way, spend $0-$0. Yup. No funding.
2. I had an abundance of pine cones – the dang neighbors REFUSE to let us chop that blasted tree down. FML.
3. I literally had popsicle sticks overflowing out of my classroom – let’s get rid of them!
You know I ALWAYS have glitter on hand – therefore, the answer was obvious.
Now I know that sprinkling some glitter on something isn’t an amazing feat – but the thing that makes this craft special, and my favorite part – is that little sticker picture in the middle.
I sent these lovelies home with my special ed students (with their pictures on it – not my daughters – just saying) and I hope they loved them. I put mine on my Christmas tree and I plan on keeping it out through January as well – why the heck not?

So cute! You can never have too much glitter up around the house.
This turned out so cute!! I just love using glitter on projects!
What a darling idea! I too love glitter! A girl can never have too much!
So pretty! I love love love the glitter!!! and the pinecones and your cute photo of you!
You are just too cute! I adore you even more now that I know you are a special education teacher. It was such a delight to meet you at Alt — I think you were the hit on the conference! — and I only wish I would have had the opportunity to chat further. Yay for you!
Traci, THANK YOU so much! There simply wasn’t enough time at Alt, was there? We should’ve had a sit down with every single person , right? So glad you found me – I’ll start stalking you on every social media network! Booya! Love you!
