Several craft projects include painted clothes pins. If finished properly they can even be used to hang laundry. After you have done the decorative painting it is a good idea to use a clear finish to protect your work and your clothes if used with laundry. This is a guide about painting clothes pins.

These wooden clothes pin or peg dolls are easy to put together and provide a lot of scope for creativity. Here in Australia you can purchase the special split leg clothes pins or pegs, called dolly pegs, from Spotlight, Lincraft and various other outlets. If you are very lucky you might also find a supplier who stocks the matching wooden beads that are intended for use as the head. I couldn't find them anywhere, so I improvised with a wooden bead that I drilled to fit. The first step is to drill a hole at the "shoulder". You can see here in the photo below where it starts to taper inward, that's where you want to drill so that when you put through the arms they are proportionately a correct distance from the head. Once you have drilled, paint the bead and upper body in flesh tone. Cut an 8" piece of firm but flexible wire, thick gauge beading wire works well for this project. This will form the arm. Wrap it tightly in flesh coloured embroidery floss, covering the entire length of wire. I secured each end with a bit of sticky tape, these ends will get tucked in so you won't see the tape. Insert the wrapped wire through the hole you made at the shoulders. Once through, make sure that it is centred evenly, then fold the wire back in on itself, tucking the cut ends into the armholes. Each arm should now be just under 2" in length. Starting to take shape already! Some doll artists wrap the arms with a colour of embroidery floss that compliments the dolls' outfit, I like to use a chenille stick. Start with the end butted up close to the shoulder, then start wrapping at the wrist, back along the length of chenille back to the body, leaving about half an inch at the end. Repeat on both sides, and then twist the ends at the back of the body. Take the bead off the top of the peg and insert the doll into an egg carton so you can paint the legs. You could have done this stage earlier when you were painting the torso, but often I won't know what colour the legs are going to be until well into the design process, in this case I painted them flesh tone. You can see in the photo below how I have twisted the chenille sticks at the back of the body too. While the legs are drying we can paint the face. There are many different ways you can put faces on your dolls, or you can omit the faces altogether and just leave the bead blank. I painted two blue ovals for the eyes. For the cheeks I took a stiff stippling brush and put the teensiest bit of pink on the bristles and then brushed off most of the excess colour on the paper towel. I then lightly brushed circles over the cheeks. This technique is called dry brushing. Add two little white dots for highlights on the eyes. Eyelashes are just short strokes with brown paint. I decided to leave this doll without a mouth. There are many different ways you can give your doll hair. There are synthetic curls you can buy from craft stores, string, raffia, threads and yarns. I love using yarns with verigated colours and different textures to get interesting locks. The yarn I used here is a soft, fluffy yarn with cream and warm brown, with a gold thread running through. To make the 'wig', wrap the yarn around your hand several times and tie off in the middle, as shown below. Glue to the top of the head using hot glue, and trim the ends. Here you can see that I have painted her shoes on also. I leave gluing her head on until she is dressed, as some clothes have a narrow neck that won't fit over her head. This is as far as I will go with constructing the doll until her outfit is completed and she is dressed. Once she has clothes on I will have a better idea of how to do her hair to suit the style of the outfit, but there you have it, the basics of creating clothes pin dolls. This is what the doll looked like when she was finished. The Clothes Pin Dolls group on Flickr is a wonderful source of inspiration.

What is small, handy and totally cute? Did you guess clothes pins? Well the truth is... they are! There are so many ways they can be put to use. We made these adorable clothes pins for our wedding "guest book" . They held up the small cards where friends and family wrote messages for us. It was a clothes drying out on the line sort of sweetness. {Above Wedding Photographs taken by jhendonphotography} Want to see them close up? We made over 150 of them, but here are some of my favorites, separated into a few groups. Each one was made using scrapbooking rub-ons; either pre-bought or made at home: PERSONALIZED {These were made at home (really!). All you need are the printable sheets of rub-on paper and an ink-jet printer! This is a great option if you don't want to be limited to the rub-on packages at the store} WEDDING THEMED WORDING {These are so perfect for a wedding. I especially love the brackets around "Marriage Vows"} "THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE" {These are some of my favorites. How darling are these tiny word definitions?} FULL DESIGN {Many store-bought sets of rub-ons have a row or two of long designs. For these pins I just cut that line into 3 or 4 pieces and voila! Beautiful, decorative clothes pins that can be used for anything!} BEAUTIFUL LETTERING {These just make my heart melt. The lettering looks so vintage (and a little circus-ey) while the coloring makes it really fun!} INSPIRATIONAL WORDS FOR ANY TIME {These are all marriage words too, but could also be used for hanging pictures of family, friends, or just for a little inspiration in your day} THIS ONE MAKES ME CHUCKLE...{It was supposed to say "Committed"... you know, like a husband and wife should be. However, after I put it together all I could see was "Commit Ted". I don't know who Ted is, but I didn't figure that it fit our wedding theme!} I love these clothes pins! I plan on turning some of these into magnets so that I can hang notes, the grocery list or whatever on the refrigerator. I think I will also keep a few to hang pictures in my craft room, and maybe keep a few to use for gift wrapping. Who knows?! How would you use clothes pins? What would you do with them? Hang pictures, notes, or (let's get crazy here), clothes on the laundry line? It seems that there are hundreds of ways to use clothes pins and when they can so easily be made this cute, why wouldn't you? With Love, Kelsie Ann LINK LOVE!

Clothespins aren't just for hanging clothes anymore! This is a set of 6 clothespins that have a single yet strong magnet glued to the back. They are actual 3 1/4 inch wooden clothespins, hand painted, front and back, and finished with many coats of varathane for a shiny and durable finish. HERE ARE JUST SOME OF THE WAYS WE LIKE TO USE THEM: *hang children's artwork, photos on a ribbon. *Organize your calendar, desk area or locker. *Clip a gift card onto a wrapped package. *Seal an opened chip bag. *Clip onto a place card at a dinner setting. *Hand out clipped to party favor bags...the possibilities are endless! NEED MORE? ok, I can do that! Just ask if you need a bigger set or custom design! (Because of the small magnet, please keep away from small children. with that being said, I can not pry them off for the life of me!)
I needed a few clothespins for some crafts... but ended up acquiring a whole bunch more than necessary. They were just lying around, so I fiddled around and came up with a really fun, open-ended art project: Clothespin Doodles! This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for the grocery money! For my full disclosure policy, click here Materials Needed: Wooden Clothespins Sharpie Markers Grab your Sharpie markers and get drawing! These two below were my favorites! (Adorable, right? The idea was inspired by this painted Kissing clothespin bride and groom cake topper. Such a genius craft!) What do you see when you look at a clothespin?

Hi everyone! I was a little late starting the shop update this morning...there was the smell of smoke in the hallways and our staff was trying to figure out where it was coming from. Turns out someone actually built a fire in their fireplace! LOL! That doesn't normally happen here! With real wood, even. Go figure. Anyhoo...between trips to the post office, a parent-teacher conference, and a playdate, I was able to get several new things listed today! I have more that are just not finished and am going to take my time and list them as they are done....
