Every chargeable item in our home comes of course, with a charger.  But, with 6 members in our family the charger chaos is huge.  Someone anyone is apt to snatch someone’s charger accidentally.  My teenage daughter and her friends, dealing with the same problem at sleepovers and such, decided to take these matters into their own hands.  I came home one day last week to find that they were solving the problem by glitterizing their chargers.  This is a great and purposeful DIY craft project for kids, teens and anyone who want to personalize their charger.  (Step by step directions at the end of the post.)

We love Glitter.  Check out another Glitter DIY Craft Projects with STYLE ~

I think it was a cute touch to do both ends of the charger.

Choose your glitter color of choice.  The girls used fine glitter.

Bringing the 70’s crafts back – Mod Podge style.  A bottle of something you haven’t seen for awhile.

Carefully wrap the important ends with tape.

Sprinkle glitter over the plastic part of the charger you wish to decorate.

Let the excess shake off.

Let the chargers sit to dry.

Start on the phone end next.  After taping the metal part for protection, paint on the Mod Podge.

Sprinkle the glitter again.

They’re not going to be confused at the next sleep over over which charger is theirs.

They liked their project.

It turned out quite glam.

Back in the day when Kristin and I were raising our little people, I was know for whipping up craft projects for my kids.  I was a former middle school art teacher and I always had plenty of feathers, glitter, gem stones, glue and construction paper around.  There were afternoons Kristin would come over with her kids in tow, to find me and my kids at the kitchen table with a confetti burst of collage materials covering the floor all around us.  “How are you going to get this cleaned up!?” she’d gasp!  We have many a story about how when I create, projects and their parts just sort of explode around me and into other rooms.  She had been know to come by and help me reel it all in a time or two.  (Link to the “Christmas Giftwrapping Tips and Inspiration post HERE – better named, the “Wrapping Paper Incident Story”.)

Handmade Painted Bobby Pins would be sweet and thoughtful Christmas gifts, a great Teen Birthday Party activity or favor, and a fun DIY project for an afternoon Styleista!

I don’t pull out the glitter as much as I use to.  When I decided to do this Painted Bobby Pin DIY Project I had two things in mind.  First, I’ll be honest.  Farm out the post.  Kristin recently had her son Baker Boy do a post on Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies.  My daughter is Baker Boy’s age mate in our our steps of kids thus, she was my likely target for this project especially since it involved hair pretties and glitter.  Secondly, I had the opportunity to keep up my parenting tradition of laying out a great “glittery” hand made project.   She did this project with the help of her friend and composed this post in her own teen style! Farming out your kids to write your posts? – ahem, genius.
