Clothespin Garland
Make a party banner with clothespins using your favorite spray paint colors. Great home decor for kids’ rooms and nurseries as well!
Embellish an accent table with decorative trim made from old-fashioned wooden clothespins. Arrange them around the table edge, using a dab of wood glue and a pneumatic pin nailer to attach them (these cost about $100 to buy and $20 to rent for a half day). When dry, spray the table with primer and paint.
This clothespin cake topper of a kissing bride and groom is one of the cutest things ever! I recommend getting larger wood clothespins for a craft like this.
If you’re looking for simple projects, this is such a cute idea – so easy that even a kid could make it! Turn cans into planters using this method, or you can even make it a votive holder.
In addition to being helpful in managing any growing collections of personal accessories, this jewelry organizer is also extremely easy to make and the materials cost less than $15.
Such a cool way to give a sweet message to someone! I much prefer this over a text. You can do this as a kids’ craft or add to gifts. Sweet for Valentine’s Day too.
If you’re looking for a way to make large, pretty snowflakes for home decor, these clothespin snowflakes are amazing! Add a bit of glitter to make them seasonally appropriate.
It’s never to early to start on Christmas projects especially since these reindeer ornaments only take 15 minutes to make. Who can resist mini reindeer? You can use them as gift toppers too.
Use neon cords and washers along with your clothespins to make unique tablecloth weights! Heidi came up with this idea in only one hour, and I think it’s pretty smart.
Make these for kids to play with or to use as Christmas ornaments! These are perfect for trying during the holidays and they are so cute! Uses tulle or pom poms.
