Hold on to your rainbows, the Pantone hotel is here!

These altered art angels are the perfect way to utilize all those ribbon scraps I’ve been hoarding (or a good excuse to go out and buy more). Great for on top of a tree, or sitting on a mantel year round.

Zendhers — duly noted!!
As a native Michigander, oh hell yes I’ve been to Bronners! You simply cannot go through life without making that pilgrimage at least once. I think I must have the hot glue Frozen crown.
Ozten! Absolutely brilliant! The Bennets as bogans, SO accurate!!!!
Thanks for sharing that, it’s “grouse mate”!!!!
Hahaha. When I posted that, I was wondering if a true Australian would approve! I have to admit, there are at least 10 terms in there that have me completely confused — one day I’ll ask you for an Australian urban dictionary 🙂
One of those hot glue projects looks a wee bit familiar….
