35 DIY Clothespin Projects, Ideas, and More

I think my newest obsession just might be clothespins. For one dollar you can buy a huge package and they are so versatile. There is something simplistic about the light wood clip invented by the Shakers. They are perfect for crafts, useful as clips, and adaptable to so many projects. I have compiled a list of 30 DIY clothespin projects for the whole family.

CARD GARLAND:  Save scraps of holiday gift wrap, and put them to work in a festive greeting-card display.     Using a glue stick, coat 1 side of a clothespin; press firmly onto gift wrap. Cut around clothespin with a craft knife to trim excess paper. Repeat on other side.     To hang a series of clothespins, clip them to a length of ribbon, and hang along a banister or above a mantel or entryway. Pin cards along ribbon as they arrive.

  1. Oh my gosh, that's a lot of great ideas for clothespins. Good work compiling them all. I am fascinated by clothespins I guess because they were so integral to life during my childhood. We hung out our clothes to dry constantly. So of course, I think this post is fantastic. I found you at lines across my face's party. Hope you'll stop by at Quirky Vistas and visit me as well!
