I didn't win the giveaway @ Tales from an OC Cottage, but Mrs. M "The Goddess of Sparkling Glitter Crafts" sent me some of her glittered starfish and shells anyway. And they found a home on this round mirror -thank you so much! Then I spent a whole afternoon browsing her site, collecting projects to show to you.
Obviously Mrs. M adores beach decor as much as I do, in a shabby chic cottage way. To learn more about each project just click on images.
Snowflakes with glittered starfish for a small white Christmas tree.
Tiny starfish here. And the tree stand is a tea cup!
Sparkling glittered seashells as ornaments.
Mrs. M uses German Glass Glitter...
... which comes in 6 oz containers...
... as well as Martha Stewart's glitter that you can buy at Michael's. And Martha of course has some neat ideas for Glitter Crafts too, nothing with a coastal theme though.
A blue glittered plate that shows off white shells in high contrast ..., and many more sparkling glitter crafts...
... starfish with buttons...
... and as a bottle stopper...
... a sparkling glitter wreath...
... and some glitter treatment fo terracotta pots...
... almost candy...
... and mini starfish for a bathing beauty.
And this is what Mrs. M says about her passion for glitter crafts: "Looks like the only thing I like better than dressing up shells with a nice layer of glitter...is taking lots and lots of pictures of them!"

I love it! I am doing a white tree on our patio with an ocean theme. I will have to glitter some starfish for it. Thanks for sharing!!
I must say, I have never seen a pink glittered starfish before, but they are the cutest ever.

These are beautiful! I especially love the starfish on the platter of buttons. By the way, I just did my master bath in a coastal Christmas theme :). You might like it! http://bethcrabtreehunter.blogspot.com/2009/11/coastal-christmas-in-bathroom.html
Those glittered starfish ornaments are so pretty Maya! I plan to incorporate some starfish and seashells to my Christmas decor this year since I now live close to the beach.
