DIY: Glittery Love Notes

The romance of getting a handmade love note has never lost it's luster for me. There's something so genuine about putting in a little hard work just to tell someone they're special. This year I made gold glittery Valentine's Day notes for friends, family and of course the beau, using only three necessities from the art store: a glue pen, loose glitter and plain white stationery. The glue pen is incredibly easy to use and this Martha Stewart fine glitter sparkles more than I hoped it would. A simple, yet fun way of crafting something personal.
Tip: Wrap up a set to give as a gift.
