Diamonte Storage Glass Idea

It took no time what so ever to peel the seal from the back of the gem sticker strips and stick them to the side of the glass and once I had ran out of them it looked fantastic .

On my previous post over at Mmummy of 7 Blog, I recently posted about a product that included these Gem sticker strips which luckily I had lots spare of and so these were my first choice of item. I love sparkle .

Ok, so I am not the most creative person and since moving into my new home , I have opened my eyes to a while array of designs that are been thrown upon me .

At the weekend , my husband went and bought me a new treat, something which I had asked for for quite some time but until we had moved was actually impossible to get due to the size of the thing.

Being a blogger, I am forever been told that my stuff is all over , if it is not notebooks and pencil cases , it is makeup or body creams and all sorts of other beauty products which takes over so much room and so my husband bought me the Alex Linnmon from Ikea in White for my bedroom, giving me the perfect vanity / work station.

It really is a fantastic desk and with 10 fantastic sturdy, deep and great sized drawers, I was in my element organising all my makeup into them .

The only problem was that being new in a new home, the desk top looked a little bare and so I thought It would be a great idea to grab some things handy around the house and try and jazz it up a little .

On searching for something which would come in handy, I really thought it would be a great idea to have something which would hold my pens and highlighters, something I am forever using on an hourly basis , here is what I came up with.
Having all my pens in the glass it really did look great and being right next to my window , when the sun hit those gems , wow , it looked even more great, although I don't feel very creative usually, this was a very surprising little creation I felt proud of and if I get more sticker strips , I can make more for my makeup brushes .

Not sure what I will be doing next but just remember , you don't have to be creative or have lots of creative things in the home to make things look good, work with what you have and style it how you wish .

You never know what the result will be, what do you think of my creation?

It looks brilliant. You can't beat a bit of sparkle. It just goes to show that you don't need much to make a big difference to an item x

I think it's incredibly important to grant ourselves these little forays into creative expression, however simple they may be - it's good, clean escapism and makes you feel great.

What a lovely idea! I wonder if it won't peel off if you use it as a tea light holder :)
