Today, I thought I'd share a quick project that I whipped up several weeks ago. I intended to put them up in my etsy shop, but I just haven't had the chance to do it yet. A few months ago, I picked up some really cheap embellishments on clearance at Michaels. Since I had a bunch of the same or very similar little fabric brads, I thought I would whip up a couple sets of clothespin magnets.
For this project, I just used some clothespins from a 100 pack that I got at Walmart, some embellies from Michaels, a hot glue gun, some homemade modge podge, patterned paper, and a heavy duty magnet roll that I got a couple years ago at Ace Hardware (These rolls have lasted me quite a while. I'm still on my first roll I think.).
Since I will be putting these up in my shop, I wanted to create a cute chipboard shape to package them with, so I ran a very thin sheet of chipboard through my Cuttlebug machine with a Spellbinders die and then cut it in half with my paper trimmer.
These are darling and I love the idea of clipping them on the die-cut chipboard. It holds them all together nicely. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christy! I actually managed to glue the embellishments on to the same end on all of the clothespins. I cannot tell you how many times I mess that up and end up with 3 all the same and then one I accidentally glued to the opposite end... It gets my OCD going crazy!
