I made a Christmas card today! I saw a card on Pinterest that I fell in love with so I decided to try and replicate it. You can look at the pin here. I love the different embossed papers. It creates depth without using busy patterned paper.

Pinterest Project! DIY Nightlight
Pinterest holds my mind's greatest desires and dreams when it comes to my life and home. I wanted to try this project for a while now and I am so excited to share! HERE is the pin. I just loved this idea and thought it would be the perfect lighting for the bathroom at night.
I bought two bags of the glass beads at the dollar store. It happened to be a color combo that I liked. I used E6000 glue and a clear wine bottle I picked up at the depot for $.15. I washed the bottle, removed the label and dried. I followed the directions on the glue for nonporous surfaces. Within an hour I had all my beads on! I set mine on the porch because the glue is potent and the cool air helps it dry. Just a warning! some glues contain chemicals that require ventilation! I had my window open despite the chill air.
I inserted a 50 strand string of christmas lights and thats it! I couldn't be happier with the result! If you try this I'd love to see!
