A Cuter Way To Hang

      Outraged at the price of baby hangers with bloomer and pants clips attached to them I set out to find an alternative.  There are just too many other things that I need to spend money on for our little girl to spend an arm and a leg on hangers.  Looking around my craft room I found an unopened bag of wooden clothes pins and some spray paint.  Perfect!  I sprayed some of them purple, some of them jade, and the rest aqua.  Once they were dry I realized I had nothing to store them in so they sat on the kitchen table for a few days.  Then one day while straightening up one of my kitchen cabinets I stumbled upon a jar that I had once used for.... something.  The top was looking a little janky and water spotty.  Not very pretty at all.  But then I realized my spray paint works for metal!  YAY!!!  I used white primer and and then purple spray paint on top!  Cute Cute and the perfect size to store all of my newly painted clothes pins and I didn't have to spend any extra money at all!!!  To attach them to the hangers I just used a short piece of ribbon threaded through the metal part and tied it to the hanger.  Easy breezy!
