I made seed bead bracelets recently and went down memory lane on how I loved making crafts as a kid. I used to make bracelets with fish tank tubing, air connectors, and filled with seed beads. The connectors never fit right but I found some tubing that fits the connectors perfectly!!

Tube glitter ???? I don't know how I've never heard or seen this but I instantly bought a bunch.

I found the tubing at Home Depot and the connectors on Amazon. 

I tried to order the tubing online but it had small black writing with the product info all over the tubing. That doesn't make for pretty bracelets.

Tube glitter from Dollar Tree.

I found these multi color packages of tube glitter at Dollar Tree for only $1!!! 

The SAME EXACT glitter (and so much less) would be $12 at Michael's for three colors.

Measure tubing around your wrist for size and cut. 

I made several at 8" long.

Insert the connector.

Now the fun part! Fill with glitter, beads, sprinkles, chunky glitter, tube glitter, jewels, confetti, glass glitter, microbeads or anything else that will fit! 

Please share if you use something else!

I made a paper type funnel for the tube glitter since it's so chunky. It does get stuck so you have to tap the tube with a pencil to get it to move down. You may need to squeeze gently and tap again. 

Insert the connector in the other end of the tube and you're done!

You could add some glue but I had a hard time pulling the bracelet apart without glue.

I also made a couple with fine glitter that I found at the same time.

Fine glitter is definitely easier to fill than the tube glitter. I tried cutting a tiny piece off the corner of the glitter package to fill. It worked out okay but very slow.

 I didn't have a glitter/craft funnel but this worked perfectly! I had the idea when I was filling the mini fairy jars with glitter. Wilton cake decorating tip #5. Lol!

Tap the tube to get the glitter to move down. Close and you are done. 

With so many different types of glitter the creative opportunities are endless. 

So easy and they turned out super cute.

Gender reveal party idea - Glitter HERSHEY'S candy bars - HE or SHE - Party favor / table decoration - Pink and blue

I'm so excited to help plan a gender reveal party!!!!

 I basically forced convinced my friend that she MUST have one.

We have some time before they find out but I'm a planner. I have so many ideas that I like to get it all organized.

First I wanted to do this cute idea with the Hershey's bars. 

I used Mod Podge with a tiny paint brush and lots of patience. 

Cover with glitter and tapped off excess onto a paper. I did all the blue first so I could use the paper as a funnel to add the extra glitter back into the container.

While still wet, I used my fingernail to push the edges that weren't straight. It's not perfect but this was my first try. I got a little better with practice. 

Let dry and used a dry paint brush to remove the rest of the excess.

I made the HE in Hershey's with blue glitter and SHE with pink glitter. 

I also tried sharpies and it worked great too. I really like the glitter but if you are looking for something that is quick and easy, definitely use sharpies. 

I tried a lighter color blue and pink and they didn't show up. You have to use darker blue and pink markers.

I haven't decided to do a balloon pop or a box reveal yet. I figured I'd let the parents decide the method of the reveal and I'll fill it. 

In the meantime, I purchased the balloon kit at Wal-Mart for $4.97. It comes with a black balloon, large blue and pink confetti, and large pink, blue, and silver streamer tassels. 

I'm ordering these metallic curtains and maybe a keeper of the gender shirt. 

I have blue and pink napkins, cups, balloons, and a polka dot bowl in each color. 

I'm thinking of filling them with candy or treats and maybe with themed wrappers.
