Don’t worry, they aren’t real birds. But is there anything Martha won’t put glitter on?

Now we’re glittering fake birds. Yay? The good news is this one is, in fact, very straightforward. Instead of putting a bird on it, you put glitter on the bird.

And here are the results you’ve been waiting for!

So there they are, my two little glittered birds. What do you think?

There is nothing exciting to report, here. I followed the directions, and it was easy. Boring.

TIME INVESTED

About 30 minutes for two birds

DIFFICULTY

Easy

TOTAL COST

  • glitter pack, $29.99 (or significantly cheaper if you buy it at Michaels with the 40% off coupon)
  • glittering glue, $3.99
  • birds, $2.99 ea (at Michaels)

Total cost = $39.96

WAS IT WORTH IT?

Well, what am I going to do with two glittered birds now? Not really my aesthetic. So I vote NO.

Am I being too hard on the glitter, people? I want to give it its fair shake, but… glitter?

    The glitter just gets no love from you!

    I think those are so pretty and would be great on your Christmas tree. That’s what I would do in a heartbeat. And how much better a craft than the glittler effing snowflake?

    I’m pretty impressed at the different colors of glitter on the birds, like in neat patterns and everything.

    Yes, I am very precise with my glitter. But I need you as my glitter consultant. Christmas ornament. Brilliant!

    Becky is wise — Christmas ornamentage seems spot on. I wonder what these would look like in all one color (maybe with eyes in a second color, because I think these might look creepy without clearly delineated eyes. As do we all) …
