I went to Target the other day, and I swear I can not leave that store without buying stuff I didn't originally go there to get! This time I picked up clothespins. After I put the baby to bed it was off to my little corner with my clothespins. I made clothespin magnets for the refrigerator. After all, I needed something to click my list to (see butternut squash)!
They were very easy to make. I used a postcard/flyer I got in the mail for my design print. You can use any magazine or paper that has a pattern on it! I prefer thicker paper because it doesn't wrinkle when you add the glue to it.
Step 1 I traced around the clothespin
2 I cut out the paper
2 I cut out the paper
3 I glued the cutout on the clothepin using a glue gun
4 I turned over the clothespin and glued a magnet on the back also with a glue gun
I placed them on my refrigerator so I can clip pictures and notes with them!
Totally cute idea! I appreciate that you post pix of your projects! I guess I'm a visual learner. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it. The only downside is that I have a non-magnetic fridge. :(
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Etsy this, mama!
ReplyDeleteworking on it!
ReplyDeleteHey Karen! Totally thinking of using this idea as favors for my sister-in-laws baby shower. What do you think?...thought the idea of clothes pins had the baby touch and then to do them all in pink papers and maybe even glitter?!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I think that EVERYTHING looks better with glitter!
