Come to the pin me linky party , thrifty thursday, and the party bunch!

Glittery hangers.....so thrifty!

I love using old pant hangers to hang up my embroidery wallhangings!

They can be found at thrift stores...I got a huge box of them for 5 dollars.

That means they were about 10 cents each.

They can be glittered up to match the project too.

These hangers can also be used to showcase children's art, to hang a calendar on, & hang Christmas sheet music on.

Just take your hanger and apply a generous amount of glue to it. 

A paintbrush will do the trick with elmers glue.

Sprinkle..... 

Let extra glitter shake off....and let dry. 

Here I did it in pink....there are so many lovely glitters out there!

I have a glitter caddy....lol.
