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).

    I can’t believe you made that! It turned out so pretty!

      Thank you so much! It definitely turned out amazing. It’s super easy, just a little time consuming. 🙂

When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it wou When I became a stay at home mom, I thought it would only be for a year at most. But as it turned out, I was lucky to be able to make it last as long as it has. What no one ever tells you though about becoming a SAHM, is that your whole identity can get wrapped up in being a mom. And for some women, that’s not a good thing. But for me, it’s a phenomenal thing. It’s an incredible time in my life that I wouldn’t trade for anything. That doesn’t mean I’m not exhausted or irritated at all, it just means I’ll take all of the negatives because the positive completely outweighs it for me. 

This should go without saying, that if you AREN’T satisfied with just being a mom, that’s okay too. For some women, having something else that is THEIRS makes them a better mom. And more power to you!

Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), Back when I was growing up (wayyyyyyy back then), it seemed like most people grew up around their extended families. By the time I was in my twenties, it just seemed more likely that you’d be living away from your home towns, starting your own life. But what we didn’t realize was what that meant down the road, when we would start our own families. That our village wouldn’t be made of our family, but instead close friends. The only problem with that, is that most other young parents are working to support themselves, thus aren’t always available to be your village. It can be hard to ask a friend for help when you know she’s simultaneously drowning in her own house. 

So if it “takes a village,” but you’re doing it on your own, I see you. It’s HARD, and it is exhausting. But one day we will be on the other side of these days, telling our babies that it takes a village. And hopefully, we will be right down the road to help them. 🩵

After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew After having my first daughter, I felt like I knew a lot about parenting. I had it down, we had a routine and a schedule and she was pretty easy to handle. Then we had a second. And I realized that everything I THOUGHT I knew about parenting was a lie. I wasn’t a pro at “parenting,” I was a pro at parenting HER. Now I do everything I can not to laugh when a mom of only one child talks like I did. I get it, we’ve been there too, and I’m not judging. But the more kids you add in, the more experience you get as a parent. Because every personality is SO different, that the way you parent one isn’t always the same as the way you parent the others. 

Thoughts?
When I heard this audio, I instantly loved it. It’s such a crazy thing to see in nature, that God is showing us just how stressful and depleting being a new mama can be. 

So if you’re in the thick of it mama, just know you’ll get your pink back soon.

I don’t think we talk enough about how great it I don’t think we talk enough about how great it feels when your child feels safe with someone else. It may be a family member or a best friend, but it’s such a good feeling to know they have another rock in their life.
