This month's Glittery Hands Box is disco themed and we all know the main part of a disco is the disco ball! Included in the box is a pack of mirror mosaic tiles perfect for turning just about anything into a 'disco ball'!

So the moral is even if something you are trying to create goes wrong don't give up!  Keep thinking it through and trying different things - you never know what you will come up with! Have a good day :) P.S.  I still haven't given up on the pom pom idea either!  :)  I...
