Making Your Own Sparkly Clothespins

2.01.2017

Sparkle Clothespins - Make your own!

If you were to ask me, I would tell you there is no such thing as too much glitter. Not in your craft projects, your dining room table, or your hair. I cannot be the only person who’d love to swim in a pool of glitter. Nevermind that you wouldn’t be glitter-free for years. You’d be finding it up in your ears, up your nose, and in unmentionable places for months. Which doesn’t sound like the worst thing to me. Maybe I need to start going to Glitter Addicts Anonymous.

What you need to make your own Sparkle Clothespins

For my wedding, we used glitter clothespins to hold up the placecards. They were gorgeous, but definitely more expensive than DIY would have been. I don’t know why I didn’t think about it at the time (probably didn’t have extra time to make 200), but I should have just made them on my own. Pretty and personal. Win/Win.

How to make your own Sparkly Clothespins

For this weekend’s project I grabbed some smaller packets of glitter at the dollar store, a pack of clothespins, and used Mod Podge to adhere the glitter. I sprayed some of my pins white first (the color possibilities are endless), and made a bunch of colorful pins. Now the only question is what to do with them?

Make your own sparkly clothespins!

I just cannot get enough of how pretty this glitter is. I wish I could cover everything in glitter. Maybe I can talk some bride-to-be into letting me make all of her place-settings glittery? Anyone taking numbers?

    You could probably sell them on Etsy to people who want cute clothespins but don’t want to work with all the glitter themselves!

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.
