Glitter Clothespin Gift Tags by Fawnda Norman



Here is what you will need:

Clothespins

Paint

Mod Podge

Ultrafine Opaque Art Glitter: Vine #47, Fire Engine #291
Ultrafine Transparent Art Glitter: Polar Bear #298


1. Take apart your clothespins


2. Paint your clothespins on both sides and let dry.


3. Cover the top and sides with Mod Podge and sprinkle with Art Glitter.


I used Vine # 47, Fire Engine #291, Polar Bear #298


4. Put your clothespins back together




I made these tags by editing some photos (on Picnik) and printed them on a brown paper bag that I cut to the size of an 8.5X11 piece of paper.


A full tutorial on how to make the tags is coming soon to Fireflies and Jellybeans!


Merry Christmas everyone!

I have really enjoyed being an Art Glitter Guest Designer!

  1. What a nice touch to an everyday item! My question is how do you get the clothespins back together without pulling your hair out?

  2. I did pull mine out! :) I ended up using a butter knife to help pry the metel spring open.
