DIY Glitter Hanger and DIY crafts

The before…

The vision..

I have ordered fabulous hangers from the etsy shop of Pearls and Pastries and love them! They are nice and sturdy and so cute!

I wanted to “recreate” this for two reasons. 1. To save money! I would love to have a fabulous closet full of these! 2. To get a “smoother” finish on the hanger, so they don’t snag.


The process…


My idea was to take Mod Podge (I used the Gloss finish) and mix it with a high concentration of glitter and do multiple coats until I get the desired look. After a Pinterest run through and and reading the Mod Podge bottle, I decided to leave about 15 minutes between each coat.


The first coat

I was already questioning if this was going to work. It didn’t look terrible, it just wasn’t the amount of the glitter that I wanted yet.


The second coat…

Some of my doubts started to subside after this coat! It was starting to look like a messy version of a pure glitter hanger!


Third and forth coats…

By now I was struggling it had been over an hour and I was still on the first side…ugh.

So, I decided to start on a second hanger to fill in the waiting “dry” time.

And THE FINAL REVEAL!

SURPRISE! πŸŽ‰πŸ˜œ

I gave up on that glitter thing…

After 3.5 hours and SEVEN coats of glitter, dry, glitter, dry, glitter, dry, glitter, dry. I could not do anymore and gave up.

BUT I love what I ended up doing! I took a piece of scrapbook paper and mod podged that sucker onto a wood hanger and all in less than an hour!


Long story short, Pearls and Pastries etsy shop …take all my money.
