    DIY Designer Wooden Clothespins Tutorial

    Published: May 19, 2010 · Modified: May 3, 2019 · By Jill · This post may contain affiliate links · 2 Comments

    a while ago, i promised to share how i made these cute clothespins for my sister's baby shower for favors here. well, with this crazy pregnancy and all the last minute work i had to get done....i never did. so now i am.

    they are very easy to make...and inexpensive. i use them for all sorts of things: bag clips, paper clips, holding gift cards on gift bags, or i put a magnet on them to hold stuff on the fridge.
    supplies needed:
    • scrapbook paper
    • wooden clothespins (i got them at Walmart by the ironing boards)
    • Semi-gloss Varnish/Sealer
    - like Anita's Water Clean-Up Polyurethane or Mod Podge
    • paper cutter
    • paint brush
    directions:
    • trace or measure clothespin and cut scrapbook paper to fit onto clothespin.
    • brush varnish onto clothespin, then place paper over it.
    • finish off with 1-2 more layers of varnish to seal and protect the paper.
    • when dry, repeat on opposite side of clothespin.
    • if you want, glue a magnet or thumbtack to the back.
    whala! you now have cute clothespins.
