Because I am easily distracted by all things that sparkle, it has taken me a while to write this post. I just cannot stop gawking at these photos. I am in love. With a hanger. Take a backseat husband, we are on the hanger express. Gold, sparkly, and shiny?! Yes please.
Since I now have your full attention, take a look around for a moment. Do you notice any other new, gold, and sparkly things? What better way to introduce my new blog to you, than with a post about sparkles! Because you obviously love both my new blog and my new hanger, let the contest commence: Just for fun, which do you like better? (No, you cannot have my hanger if it loses)By now I’m sure you realize that anything with glitter, sequins, or sparkles has my full attention. If I’m doing a little “online research” (read: shopping) and I find something with these requirements, it is immediately pinned.
Unless I can make it myself. Then it gets done. I made my own glitter hanger by buying a pack of wooden hangers at Wal-Mart ($2.50/5). I bought the large glitter there as well ($3.47 – you can do at least two hangers with one package). I spray painted my hanger gold beforehand and Modge-Podged the living heck out of that hanger. Glitter everywhere (heaven!). After it dried, I put another heavy coat of Modge Podge on top, so glitter wouldn’t cover my closet (as if that would be a bad thing). And voila! The most amazingly beautiful hanger you’ve ever seen. You’re welcome.
Until next time my friends…I am off to stare at my hanger.

LOVE! And I’m loving the new look of your blog too! 🙂
shauna841505@yahoo.com says
Thank you for both!!!!!!!! And I’m glad you found me! I am stressing a little bit, after moving I found out that you cannot take your WordPress followers with you! After all the hard work I’ve done I was so sad. Hopefully people find me! 🙁
Michelle says
Hey Shauna! New blog layout? I swear I was following you before! <3
shauna841505@yahoo.com says
Yes!!!!! I switched to a self-hosted blog, and AFTER I did it, I found out you cannot take your WordPress followers with you. I had a pretty sad day yesterday realizing that all of my followers no longer know I exist! I’m going to work at getting some back but I’m not sure how easy it will be. 🙁
Bobbie Beckman says
These are so pretty I wouldn’t want them hiding in my closet.

I know!!! My beautiful mother gave me the idea to use it as a decoration, and possibly hang a print or two from it. She’s so smart. 😉
Britta says
This is probably one of my favorite things you’ve ever made! Did you use the spray mod podge to set it? Or regular? I might have to do this one of these weekends!
shauna841505@yahoo.com says
Isn’t it amazing?!?! I LOVEEEEEEEE IT. I used regular MP because I didn’t even know they have a spray one!?!? OMGGGGGG my life is going to change!! (But also, I think the regular might be better for this, because you want it thick so the glitter doesn’t come off).
