DIY Blinged Out License Plate

My last car was red so I didn't really feel like I could add a whole lot more decoration to it without it seeming ridiculous.  My new car is white.  A beautiful blank canvas.  This could only mean one thing......

A BEAUTIFUL GLITTERY BLINGED OUT LICENSE PLATE!!!!!

I didn't take pictures of this process, but it's easy to explain.  Buy a plain metal license plate frame.  I got mine for about $6 at Walmart.   Then I brushed Mod Podge on it and covered it in glitter.  Do it in sections and let them dry one by one so you don't noogy the wet spots on accident.  I let all the glitter dry overnight and then I covered it all in clear nail polish to create a seal.  After it dried I glued on gems and rhinestones using E-600 glue.  

So cute right?  And even cuter on my car

When In Doubt....Make It Into a Magnet!

I recently have a new obsession with turning everything into a magnet.  Don't stand still too long....I may just hang you on the fridge.

The cupcakes were from a a playfood set.  Just hot glued magnets to the back.

The Mickey ice cream and Minnie cupcake are souvenirs that we bought on our Disneyland honeymoon.  They are actually antenna toppers.  I bought them because they were soo cute and to be honest....I'm a major cheap ass and they were one of the cheapest items in the gift shops.  I instantly knew I wanted to make them into magnets because A) My car doesn't even have an antenna and B) I wouldn't want to risk some stupid punk stealing it anyway.  Remember back in the day  when everyone had their Jack in the Box toppers stolen?  My point exactly

I attached the magnets on these with E-600 glue because I didn't want to risk hot glue melting the foam.

And here is my Lush collection of magnets.  Pictured at the top, I made a Skinny Girl magnet for my oldest sister.  She and I are both big fans of the whole Skinny Girl line of cocktails.  Then, for my husband I did bottle caps from some of his favorite beers and from Sailor Jerry...his #1 drink of choice.  For these I just filled the bottle caps with hot glue to the top and let it dry hard to make a flat surface.  Then just glue on the magnet.

A very quick project (the best kind there is!) with endless possibilities
