Fun Glitter Tape Holiday DIY’s

I love how fun and therapeutic getting crafty can be. This past week I did a bunch of DIY’s using glitter tape while getting my house ready for the holidays. I love a good DIY , especially when it involves glitter!

I’ve partnered up with Seal-It Glitter Tape on this ridiculously easy and really fun holiday DIY. This glitter tape is really easy to work with and can even be ripped by hand. It also sticks to a wide range of surfaces and materials so the skies the limit. I started with decorating ornaments and by the end of the night I was running around my house trying to find as many items as possible to cover in glitter tape. It’s kindof addicting.

I loved creating this beautiful table setting below and the glitter tape made it look pretty and unique. You can get creative and totally transform items in your home for the holidays. It’s a really inexpensive way to change your everyday household items into holiday decorations and then after the holidays are over you just take the tape off and it’s back to normal. It really saves you alot of money on buying holiday items that you will use for a month and then they will sit in storage for the rest of the year. Also, if you don’t like having glitter in the house because it gets everywhere, you don’t have to worry about that at all because this glitter doesn’t rub or flake off. It’s mess free!

Here are some of my favourite ideas:

1. Holiday Ornaments

If you have some plain ornaments hanging around the house or just want to buy some from the store you can totally transform them with the glitter tape. I bought a few little hole punchers in different shapes, cut out shapes using the tape and then just stuck them all over the ornaments. I got creative with different designs (polka dots, hearts, stripes etc.) and I can’t get over how cute they turned out!

2. Place Setting Cards

Place setting cards are an easy way to dress up your table for the holidays and it’s funny how something so little can make your guests feel extra special. You can cut a thick card stock to make the place setting cards yourself or purchase blank cards. It was so easy to cut the tape into smaller pieces and then make letters out of them. I love how these turned out. If you have good hand writing (which I don’t) then you could use the tape to decorate the cards and then hand write the names of your guests instead.

3. Party Straw Flags

It’s not a party without party straws. Or maybe that’s just me? haha. I love dressing them up with a little glitter flag and it’s one of the easiest crafts you will ever do. Cut a small piece of tape, fold it around the straw connecting the ends evenly and then cut the end like you would cut the end of a ribbon. Ta-da!

4. Napkin Rings

Napkin rings are something I have never actually purchased, but then any time I go to use my fancy napkins I wish I had some. I find it so boring when you just lay the napkin beside the dinner plate. I have tried to look up napkin folding tutorials online but it’s so time consuming. These napkin rings took me literally 2.5 seconds to make. I just folded the napkin like you would if you were making a fan and then I put the tape around the middle of the napkin to secure.

5. Holiday Wrapping

If you have issues when it comes to wrapping presents, glitter tape is going to be your saving grace. You can mess it up all you want because it’s going to look pretty no matter what. I hate when you can see the tape on a wrapped present and even when you use the invisible kind you can still see it. You don’t have to worry about that with glitter tape. The point is to see it.

6. Tea Lights

Tea lights on their own look out of place and unfinished and would need to be added to a holder to be presentable on a table. If you cover the outside in glitter tape it makes them instantly ready to display. Just wrap the tape around the tea light and cut. What could be easier than that?

I hope these ideas give you some holiday DIY inspiration for your own table settings and around your home! 

Seal-it glitter tape is available online at www.sealitglitterstore.ca, Shoppers Drug Mart or Sears Canada. It retails from $2.99 – $5.50. A little goes a long way! I did all of the above and still had alot of tape left in all colours.
