my kit preparations to share this with you.......glitter clothespins. I saw these somewhere and was determined to make some for the tops of the bags of my kits.
They are so easy to make. All you need is a package of clothespins, spray adhesive and a big container of glitter. I just kept the pins attached to the cardboard sprayed the adhesive on and dumped them in the glitter.....ta da! I foresee lots of glittered clothes pins in my future.
Ok...I have to get back to putting everything together for tomorrow's fundraiser at Denise's house. Here's what I'm teaching.....
I'll talked to you when I get back! Karin
Love the glittery clothespins & the Halloween cake too!

Love that! I'd spray a sealer on them so they wouldn't "shed".

Karin, some of my artsy friends and I have been making glittered clothes pins for several years and we learned a neat trick from one of the gals - if you use red line tape instead of glue, the glitter doesn't come off - it is almost like glittered paper. Give it a try. Love reading your blog and love your work! Wish I lived in your neck of the woods so I could take some of your classes.

I just LOVE glitter! I want to get one of those sets of Martha Stewart glitter but I haven't found a use for them yet. Great post.
