Love your clothespin ideas – especially the magnets for the fridge (or other places) and the place setting cards. So cute – especially with the glitter tape or diamond ribbon! I’ll be doing these! (They’d be cute with a small spring flower in the clip for place cards, too – or a little foam rabbit!
Thank you so much Barbara, I’m thrilled you like some of the ideas and that you want to give some of them a try. Love the spring twist on them 🙂
We’ve used clothes pins for years all around our house. Especially outside on the clothes line… they are great to hold your coupons also. When our son moved out and I was “transforming” his room I must have found 30 clothes pins. He would take a bag of pretzels etc. up stairs and never return the clothes pins we used as bag clips.
Thanks Kathy and I love that story about your son, thanks for sharing. My teen son wants an overhaul on his room and I just know I’m about to find a ton of clothespins in his room for the exact same reason 🙂
Super cute! And easy! I have a bunch of them laying around too. Your daughters room is darling! Thanks for quick crafts. ??
Thank you so much Naomie and you are so sweet about my daughter’s room 🙂 Glad I’m not the only one with a bunch of clothespins laying around. Sending hugs to you my friend.
Hi Kathy! I grew up with a clothes line before we had a dryer. I want one again as I love sheets that have be dried in the sun. My yard is small compared to many and trying to find a good spot for one. ?
These are some great ideas! I also use clothespins to keep my outfits from falling off the hangers! Also, thank you for linking up at OMHGWW! Best thing about co-hosting is finding so many great sites! Can’t wait to see what else you link up!
Thank you so much Kaycee, and thanks for sharing! You are so very sweet and I look for to linking up with you again 🙂
Yep we have done them all and work great. Found you on Simple Homestead Blog Hop.
Thank you Candy and I’m so glad they have worked for you too.
I love the uses for clothespins. I always keep a few in my suitcase. When I travel to hotels that don’t have curtains that meet in the middle, I pull out my clothespins to get a tighter fit, eliminating the light that was coming through. They’re so useful! I need to buy a new supply since they always disappear as my chip clips. 🙂
Thank you Lisa and thanks so much for sharing your tip with all of us.
Chas, love these ideas! I use wooden clothespins to close bags every day, but they’re not decorated! I especially like the place card holder. #BloggersPitStop
Thank you Jean and I love that you are using clothespins in your home too. Thanks for stopping by
Hi Chas, I really enjoy watching the projects you make. They are simple enough for me to try. I don’t have a lot of time because I work but when I do I always think of your projects. I go by Lynn. I live near Greenville, North Carolina.
Thanks so much for sharing. Have a great weekend.penn
You are just so sweet Lynn, thank you so much and thanks for sharing. If you do get a project done – please send me pictures as I’d love to see them 🙂
