We hope you’ve enjoyed this first week of National Craft Month! We’ve shared some great, informative posts on Studio 71 Paints, Comparing Adhesives, explaining the difference between Round and Chain Nose Pliers, and Taking Care of Your Brushes! All of these articles were considered “basics”- just good, basic information every crafter should know!

I would use the glitter to make some franken nail polishes. Frankening is the term polish bloggers use when they create their own colors by adding pigments and glitters to a clear base or by mixing other polishes together!
