Answer
Audrey Hepburn was a very stylish lady of the times. She was most famous in films in the 1950's. So I would choose things from that era.

She worn pearls, tight waist belts to show off her tiny waistline, she carried a fashionable purse always and a hat.
She was always very put together.

One of the ideas in decorating in that time frame was to do a black and white decor with splashes of pinks, blacks or grays. Sometimes reds. They had silver fabrics too with lots of shimmer and elegance.
Choose things with lots of sparkle she was a Hollywood star!
Poka-dots were really in fashion.

Furniture was a modern now retro style, very streamline in style or to the other extreme of curves more Victorian in style and often in white or deep wood tones. Tufted headboards on the beds with tacks.
Art nouveau mirrors , elegant chairs, Chrystal glass sparkly lamps.
You can likely find much of the furniture are used stores or Salvation Army stores. A little paint or furniture polish they will look new again.

Here are some links to some decals of dots to carry through the idea of poka-dots onto your walls. The poka-dots were usually black on pink or black or red on white. You could paint your room pink and put some dots all over a wall and a few scattered in limited areas on other walls to tie it in.

There is bedding on the market with dots on it to follow through with the dot design plan. Some examples on links below.

What should I make with my glitter glue?

Kristiana

I have a lot of glitter glue, like, 5 whole bottles of it in different colors. I want to make something really cool, something that isn't a waste of time, artistic skill, and glitter glue. I have other supplies to use too, like: paper, hot glue (I have glittery hot glue, too), glitter glue, pencils, pens, markers, crayons, shalk, note cards, yarn, lots of beads, and some stickers. If you find anything time consuming and utterly cool, please tell me about it so I can put my craft tools to use!

Thanks!

Answer
There are so many things you can do with glitter glue!
Here are some great ideas from ehow.com:
http://www.ehow.com/info_8255799_glitter-glue-crafts.html

Glitter Glue Containers
Create a beautiful, glittery container to hold pens, pencils or other items. Use a clean clear glass jar. Draw a design on the jar with glitter glue. The design can represent something or can be abstract. Use various colors for a colorful effect or choose a couple of colors. You can draw simple flower designs on a jar or clear vase to create a flower vase for someone special.


Glitter Glue Ornament
Plain glass ornaments can be made beautiful when embellished with glitter glue. Create interesting designs on a glass ornament by using the tip of a glitter glue pen to leave a trail of glitter glue. The ornaments can be used as Christmas tree ornaments or, when done in pastel colors, can be used as Easter or springtime decor. Hang the ornament from an ornament stand for use all year long.


Glitter Glue Window Decorations
Lay wax paper down on the table and use glitter glue to create a design or write a message. After the glue dries, carefully peel the glue from the wax paper and use tape to hang the design or message to a window. This method can be used to make sparkly winter snowflakes or "Happy Birthday" greetings. Use multiple colors of glitter glue by allowing one color to dry before adding another colored glitter glue to the design.


Paper Crafts
Create paper crafts with glitter glue. Greeting cards are a nice craft for kids to make and give to loved ones. Create greeting cards with construction paper and other craft items. Use glitter glue to create the wording on greeting cards and other decorative elements. Use glitter glue to draw simple flower patterns on greeting card envelopes too. You can also use glitter glue to embellish other paper crafts like bookmarks.


Also, you can watch this video about glitter and glitter glue techniques and tips, as well as craft ideas:

Have fun!!
