I have a crush on Katy Perry. Maybe it’s the fact that she wears a blue wig or that her dresses always look like cupcakes and glitter? I don’t know! I just adore her. Because of that, I made her this heart necklace, which will be sent to her as soon as this book is out. Katy, if you’re reading this between concerts, please send me your shipping address.

    When your heart is completely dry, add a layer of quick drying 3D Crystal Lacquer to keep the glitter in place and to keep it from flaking.
