Foil discarded from confetti stars

Below shows what I mean when I am trying to describe this stuff. It is like a heavy foil that has had stars (or other shapes) punched out of it to make metallic confetti.

Anyway, I came up with an idea & went with the flow... I found some cheap glass tumblers that had nice straight & flat sides & not too tall. Got my glue, sticky tape & scissors out as well as the foil stuff. Got my glass & wrapped the foil around it, cut it with a slight overlap & straight... Don't use you good scissors for this, kitchen scissors will do the job. After that I positioned it so it was straight with the rim of the glass, taped the foil to hold it steady while gluing the beginning (the glue I used was a clear quick drying craft glue, so if you want to reclaim your glass back it won't take much to peel it off). You will now glue the beginning & hold it down with your fingers until it stays by itself, you can then glue in 2 or 3 places around the glass & do the same for the end you did for the start by holding the foil until set. My glue only takes a few minutes to set... the fun part is peeling off all the dried out glue bits off your fingers (like peeling skin). 

The next part is the best!!! get yourself a tealight candle whether it is real or battery it will set a romantic evening or at Christmas time.

If you have any questions, please ask......
