When the sealer was dry, I was able to put them in Emma’s room.ĭidn’t they turn out fun? Here’s a close up of one of the bookends.

When I glitter, I like to line a casserole dish with foil so that it will catch the extra glitter and I can easily pour it back into my jar to use again.Īfter I was finished with the glitter, I sprayed two coats of Krylon’s Glitter Blast clear sealer.

So, I mixed these two together with another jar of fine glitter, and I came up with a glitter mixture. I liked the idea of using different sizes of glitter on the horse. I found this container of mixed glitter at Michael’s – it has fine glitter and coarse glitter. I wanted them to have a little more character, so glitter came to the rescue. I decided that these would be great for Emma’s room, and I would put them on her dresser underneath the crazy carousel horse shelves. But, what fun would that have been if I just left them as is? No fun at all! One of the horses has a chipped ear and the monkey pod wood was a little scratched up. Truth be told, I really loved these horse head bookends as they were. My style is different than most of the other bloggers participating, so I was really scared about what I would be getting in the mail!

These sorts of swaps are always fun, but really nerve wracking for me. Guard your favorite novels or cookbooks with our Regal Trotting Horse Bookends. The recipient has to transform the item into something for their home. I am participating in Swap It Like Its Hot, a contest of sorts where bloggers send each other items that they found at the thrift store or flea market.
