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.
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.
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?
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!
