Did you know that there is a website where you can order an envelope full of glitter and a note. Then they send it to someone that you truly despise?

Let me introduce myself. I’m Trina Miner from A Few Miner Adjustments. By day, I am a reading teacher and by night, a blogger. I love cozy blankets, Friends reruns and anything DIY. I want to give a big shout out and thank you to Shannah for inviting me to be a monthly contributor. It is a thrill to be here with all of you!

O.K….back to the glitter~enemy~thing. When we first thought of this Valentine project, my cute little helper and I decided on glitter. As a teacher I love a good glitter project. However, I couldn’t imagine sending an envelope full of it to anyone. That is kind of cruel.

They would be finding glitter everywhere….

for.ever!

So we made a few Miner adjustments to the garland project.

Steps:

Cut the pieces of wood into squares.
- I didn’t measure them. I eyeballed it…I like that they are not all the same size
Drill 2 holes in each wood piece near the top
Glue hearts on the wood pieces
Add tape
Paint glue over the whole piece of wood
Thread the twine or ribbon through the holes
Space evenly to fit where they will hang
