4 Things to Make With Clothespins
Clothespin Butterflies
Paint the clothespin and let it dry. Fold two cupcake liners into quarters, then clip the clothespin over them. Add googly eyes.
Note Station
Use wood glue to attach clothespins to a wooden ruler. Label each pin with a family member's name. Mount the ruler near your front door and clip reminders, permission slips, and other important notes to it.
Rubber Band Launcher
Glue a clothespin to a dowel. Load a rubber band onto the launcher as shown. Squeeze the clothespin handle to let the band fly (at inanimate targets only, of course).
If your kid's clothing is no longer fitting in her closet, don't fret. There may be more storage in there than you think. Learn how to make the most of the closet space your child's bedroom offers.
Animal Mix-Ups
Glue various types of card stock feet to clothespins as shown. Clip the pins to card stock bodies, mixing and matching as desired.
