How to make Clothespin Trivets

You’re going to use the clothespins without the springs – so the first thing you need to do is remove them!

You’ll start by gluing the flat sides of clothespins. You’ll need 32 of these pairs, which are 32 clothespin halves.

Place a line of glue down the flat side of a clothespin half and press the other side to it. Hold and let dry. Repeat with the other clothespins and let them all dry.
