Hang a Little Glitter: DIY Glitter Hanger

3.18.2015

DIY Glitter HangerBecause 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)DIY Glitter Hangers 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. DIY Glitter HangersI 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.

      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! 🙁

    Hey Shauna! New blog layout? I swear I was following you before! <3

    • shauna841505@yahoo.com says

      3.19.2015 at 8:49 am

      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. 🙁

    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. 😉

    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

      3.19.2015 at 10:10 am

      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).

If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’ If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s to SLOW DOWN.

So much of life is spent going, going, going. Waiting for the next stage. Telling ourselves, “Once we get through this, things will be easier.” Once the kids are older. Once life settles down. Once we have more time. But what if we’re missing the whole point? Because the moments we’re so eager to get through ARE the moments.

Today is the important stuff. The ordinary days. The messy days. The little conversations, the giggles, the routines, the chaos, the moments that don’t feel significant while we’re living them. We spend so much time wishing for the next chapter that we forget we’re already living one we’ll someday wish we could go back to.

So slow down.

Be here.
Pay attention.
Let the moment take as long as it needs to.

Because someday, these will be the days we miss.

**And if you know us personally, you know why I had to jump on this social media trend**
This is your permission slip to let the crafts be This is your permission slip to let the crafts be messy. 

They don’t need to match your house. They don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy. They don’t need to be made with a neutral color palette and a Cricut. They just need to be theirs.

Because someday I’m probably going to miss the paper scraps, the glue everywhere, the questionable color combinations, and the little masterpieces I had no idea what to do with. Let them make the ugly craft. Let them make a mess. Let them create something that looks nothing like what you had in mind.

Childhood doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be beautiful.

This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy the This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy their kids are going back to school. My neighbors and I commiserate all summer long about how long the days are, how frustrating the kids can be, how much they’re fighting, etc. 

But my days are always like that, and even though it’s exhausting and overwhelming at times, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even if I only have ONE moment like this a day, it’s one moment a day I could miss out on if they were in a traditional school. 

So here’s to whatever choice you are making in regards to your kids education. What’s best for YOU is most important. And what’s best for us is this.

turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
Hot take: We’ve convinced ourselves kids need bigg Hot take: We’ve convinced ourselves kids need bigger backyards, when what they really need is neighborhood kids.

I used to think about more square footage, more land, more privacy. Now? I’d rather my girls have friends they can run to than an acre they have to play on alone.

A bigger house isn’t always a better childhood. For us, built-in community has been worth more than an extra bedroom ever could be.

I know this won’t be everyone’s opinion, but I think for elementary-aged kids, having friends next door is more valuable than having a huge yard. Anyone else change their mind about what “dream home” actually means?
