    Step 6

    Adorn outside. (Don't over do it! You still want to see the stuff inside.) I used hot glue to attached a row of ribbon from a wedding program, a few purple flower stick ons (trust me on glue use hot glue, don't rely just on their sticky back), and a couple pieces of the flowered confetti. Then used a clear glitter glue to add a few accents.

Painted top, then used a white craft glue that dried clear for the sandand stuff. Hot glue dries too quick for adhering sand or glitter.
