We use a lot of clothespins around the house here. One of our favorite uses for them (besides hanging clothes, which is NOT a favorite task) is closing our bags of chips with them.
Our Guest Blogger got creative one day and decorated our clips to resemble "critters."
Today her and I got together and made a few more...We'd love to share how we did it!
To create these cute critters you will need:
- Newspaper to protect the surface you will be working on
- Paints
- Markers/Pencil/Sharpie marker
- Scissors
- Sketches of your designs
- Pipe cleaners
- Google-y eyes
- Paint Brushes
- Clothespins (of course!)
- Pom Poms
- Painter's Palette (optional, we just got it, so we wanted to break it in! :)
- Hot Glue Gun (kid's, get an adult to help with this as it gets VERY hot!)
Our finished critters: L to R "Afro" Dude, Ducky, Ladybug, Bunny, Spotted Cow, and Purple Dude.
Each eager to do their job! Now who can resist a bag of chips with these cute little guys on it? ☺
Hehe, I love the ladybug one! He's my favorite! They would cute on the fridge too!
