Long ago there lived a magical season known as Christmas. Oh, how families love to express their creativity during this time of year! A really fun way to celebrate this special day is by creating clothespin crafts. Clothespins: They are those handy little clips that your mom or dad usually uses to hang laundry with, so it does not go blowing away. Clothespins are great for keeping your laundry hung out to dry, but they can do so much more than that. We have all kinds of fun things to turn them into festive decorations! Read on for five fun things to do with clothespin crafts this Christmas!
So, today I am starting off with this super fun clothespin craft that makes a perfect Christmas ornament! Well be making a sweet little reindeer! Start by joining two clothespins at the hinge with a little glue to form one reindeer body. Now take two more clothespins and glue them on the top of bove to make antlers. After the glue has dried, you can paint all of your clothespins a pretty brown color. Now that your coat is dry, it's time to have some fun! Hook Them A Red Nos That is If You Have Any Googly Eyes lying Around….prod Even More());// Set Reindeer silly Make Up with Googie (googoo) eyes, and dont forget The Nose Or some retina skretchin Double back tape! You can even use the pipe cleaners to add some little legs for your reindeer. Ta-da! It is happy that you just craft your own little lovely reindeer!
Ok, so now that we have a really festive and silly reindeer sitting happily on your porch… lets talk about some other special little touches you can add to make everything look whimsical and bright this December! Grab lots of clothespins and paint them holiday colors such as red, green or white. Then, after the paint has dried fully, clip all of your painted clothespins onto a long ribbon. And there you go, your Christmas Clothespin Garland is done! It guides you to exactly where in your house- living room, dining area or bedroom that this garland can be hung up. And no matter where you put it, an added holiday accent!
We have already decorated our house Now it is time to make ornaments that are perfect for you Christmas Tree. All that you will need are basic wooden clothespins to start with and some paint - whatever color you want. That is with bright colors or why not, the traditional ones as you wish and feel like. Sprinkle the glue where you want them to stick and then using a small brush, if needed paint your fun Christmas design. You could even paint little Christmas trees, candy canes or snowflakes on them. You can decorate the other side; please go ahead and really make them your own. When the paint has dried, place a string in each clothespin so that we can use them to hang on our tree. You should now have some pretty snazzy Christmas ornaments that were made by you which will make your tree look fantastic!
With our decorations in place, its time to create some adorable personalized gift tags using clothespin. Paint wooden clothespins in colors of your choice, like green or red and let them... Wait for them to dry, then take white paper (we cut all of ours from the same functioning typewriter roll) and snip it into little rectangles. These small pieces of paper will be your gift tags! Finally, glue these tags onto the clothespins and design your how you like You could make them fun — draw cheeks and a smile, write “Merry Christmas” all cute-like or even put stickers! Once the glue is dry, you just have to clip these amazing gift tags on your Gift bags or packs. Your Friends &Family will love to receive thoughtful gifts with your personal touch!
And finally, the best— a fun Christmas countdown! Buy some clothes pins and paint them all the same color for a nice touch. We would suggest using red or green to go with the holiday feel!" After the paint has dried, number each clothespin 1-24 with a black marker. This features the quality day by using day countdown to Christmas. The next step is to tie a ribbon on the string Next, clip the Clothespins on one to 10 in order along the string. Print out this countdown and put it somewhere in your home where you will see it daily. You can then have each day so as it gets nearer to Xmas you move the clothespin down a number, telling how many days are left until 12/25 arrives!
