Thanks to Martha Stewart, the queen of craft with the cheery face of a little girl, these are the easiest/prettiest/most glittertastic decorations to make. Just get a winter squash or pumpkin, some glue, a paintbrush, and some of this superfine MStew glitter. (google search a Michael's coupon before you go!! fancy can be frugal too.)
You can probably guess how to make these gems, but here are some tips for you:
-brush the glue on in stages.. it dries fast, and the glitter takes a while to shake all over it
-unless you want sparkles around for weeks, cover your work surface with some newspaper. (me, I let sparkles fly! ..and they turn up just everywhere, weeks later)
-if you paint on a paper plate, lift your sparkly creation off the plate periodically whilst drying, so the paper doesn't stick.
