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!

Even with the bathroom trips. 🤣 Listen. Social me Even with the bathroom trips. 🤣

Listen. Social media tends to make traveling with children look glamorous, and the truth is, it usually isn’t. Are some kids professional travelers? Of course. But reality is that there’s always pitfalls and unexpected turbulence that you just have to mentally prepare for before you travel. And in the end? I promise you, it’s worth all the hassle.

Why yes, I do. 🤣🤣🤣

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together. 

Flag tees from @sweet_peas_and_sweeties - they’re selling fast so grab yours before they’re gone!
I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.
Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so mu Listen. Shelling with my kids will always be so much fun. But I think we have enough of these oyster shells at this point. 🤣

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
