project pomegranate

just thought I'd show you how to make an easy table decoration
out of a pomegranate,  well why not?!
you'll need a roll of tape, white glue, spray paint, glitter
and a pomegranate willing to be glitzed up!
 tape off your pomegrante in a checkerboard pattern
if there are marks you want to hide then leave them free
they will be covered with paint 
make sure your tape is pressed down securely
this will give you a nice line
 spray your little dumpling top to toe
 when it's totally dry remove the tape
 run a line of white glue around the edges and sprinkle with glitter
you can clean off any excess glitter with a small paintbrush 
 ta da, a glam pomegran ready for the table!
