Glitter Chip Clips
This year
the other side of my family also decided to do a gender neutral homemade gift
exchange. The pressure is on!! I was unable to make it to the Christmas
celebration last year, so this would be my first year participating. This side
of the family made a lot of baked goods and smaller type gift items, so it’s
not quite as high pressure as the other side of my family. I decide to make these
glitter covered clothes pins that could be used as chip clips.
Materials:
Clothes pins $1.00
Glitter $1.00
White glue $1.00
for 3 bottles
Small paint
brush
Clear spray
paint $3.79
I purchased
all items from the local dollar store, except the spray paint. The paint brush
I had on hand, but you can get cheap ones, about 30 for $2.00 at Wal-Mart.
Directions:
1.
Use paint brush to put a thin coat of glue on
the clothes pin. I did one side at a time, allowing dry time between in order
to prevent sticky fingers and glitter from falling off.
2.
Put glitter in a container that is easy to dip
clothes pins in. Dip the glued side into glitter, shake off excess and place on
newspaper to dry.
3.
Repeat this process until all sides are covered.
4.
Once pins are covered in glitter and dried, use
clear spray paint and coat the glitter covered clothes pins. This helps prevent
the glitter from falling off.
Another
option would be to add a magnetic strip to one side of the pin so you can hang
things on the refrigerator. I didn’t do this, but it’s an easy option to make
them more versatile.
