DIY Painted Clothes Pins
{A DIY project that results in pretty clothespins to pin up artwork, photographs, and more!}
I can't wait to string natural cord across my bedroom wall, and use these new pretty clothespins to pin up photographs, artwork prints, and postcards!
What You Need:
-Clothes Pins (I bought a pack of 36)
-1-3 Different Paint Colors (I used Metallic Gold, Beige, & Pink, depends on how simple or intricate you want to paint the pins)
-Small (For designs), and Medium Sized Paint Brushes
- Throwaway surface such as paper plate, aluminum foil, or cardboard (unless you have a paint palette) to squeeze paints on to
-Optional**For Sparkle, purchase Glitter Spray. If you want to seal your painted clothespins, I suggest brushing on
as your last step.
Step 1. Fill up a bowl/cup of water, squeeze paint colors onto throwaway surface (I used aluminum foil), and lay everything out on top of a newspaper/paper towel
Step 2. Paint the entire top surface of the clothespin
Step 3. Paint one side of the clothespin
4. Paint the other side of the clothespin. If you would like, when then clothespin is dried, you can paint the bottom half and sides of the clothespin if you want it to be completely painted.
If you want to add a flower design, wait until the paint on the clothespin is dried! Use the smaller paint brush to draw petals.
If you want to add some sparkle and pizazz to your clothespin, spray them with Glitter Spray!
