Don't buy this. Grrrrrrrrr!

 Glitter wrapping paper may look absolutely stunning but it's a blimmin nightmare to use. The glitter sheds all over the place and the sticky tape doesn't stick. I've been fighting with these presents for the past hour. No sooner had I wrapped the ribbon around than it slid off.  Grrrrr


Then I realised that I haven't shared any Christmas piccies just lately and that would not do at all  😀

The bedroom tree's look stunning when lit

It's time for the green set

Now if you tell me that you haven't made tinsel tiebacks for your curtains in the bedroom I shall be very disappointed in you all :-)

    1. I'm sending the police round... Covering everything in tinsel is the law

  3. I'm afraid I haven't, my curtains not being the kind that require tie backs. However I do have Christmas bunting (made by Beth to order) and loadsa Christmas cushions and tablecloths. Will that do?

  4. My experience with that type of thing also gave me fits in the past, besides staying away from it all together, I got out my hot glue gun and very carefully glued the spots where I would have used tape. Just make sure it doesn't stick to the gift. I also used a dot of glue to help anchor the ribbon in place. It worked really well, as long as I slid something under the part to be glued to keep it from sticking to the item. Ranee (MN) USA

  5. Sorry I"ve not been commenting but we've had i'net issues, but now back online properly. Glitter can be a pain, but that sounds horrific. No tinsel here as yet, though I have noticed as we've been driving around that some street signs have been wound with it. Hope you don't have to go into severe lockdown as I just read your last post. Sydney has some new cases now after Australia was just about free from it, but they are bringing lots of citizens back in after being stranded overseas & it seems this has started it again. Take care, stay safe & huggles. PS: I'll be in touch before Christmas.

  7. Glitter is going to be a thing of the past. I love it but ecologically it causes so much damage. I always ended up with a shiny face when using glitter.
