Clothespin craft – Spring Home Decor

A clothespin craft is simple, fun and most importantly inexpensive.

I love using ordinary household items to make seasonal decor.  I always try and shop my house or dig through my bins of craft supplies to see what I can come up with first before I run out the door to the craft store.  Of course,  making a bee-line to the craft store is seriously tempting.  It’s also much cheaper and  fulfilling to up-cycle things you may have lying around.   Like empty (clean) cans.

My name is Holly and I have a confession to make.   I am a Can Hoarder.  Yep- Coffee, tuna, soup, Pringles, yadda, yadda…if I can turn a can in to something pretty,  I’m keeping it!

Just like this clothespin craft for Spring that I made from a tuna fish can.  Yes, A tuna fish can. You can use this clothespin craft idea for kids too.  The buttons might not be as straight though.  LOL

Materials used to make clothespin craft:

• Buttons – Spring Blossom Grab Bag
• Clean Tuna fish can
• Clothes Pins
• White Paint
• Mini Glue Dots®
• Paint Brush
• Wood Dowel
• Burlap
• Green Raffia
• Flower Die Cut

Directions for a Spring clothespin craft:

Clip clothespins on can and paint edges white.

Adhere buttons to clothespins using Mini Glue Dots.

Cut a flower out of burlap, add a button center and attach to a dowel.

Fill it up and Enjoy!.

Now that your DIY craft project is complete, it’s time to fill it up. Let you imagination run wild with the contents.

You could fill your clothespin craft decor project with a small plant, flowers, a candle or candy.  I choose candy.  It gave me an excellent reason to buy some Cadbury Eggs- Yum!

I love the smell of pretty paper, drinking Chai Tea and making unique things out of whatever I can find. I'm a dollar store junkie who loves to design with Kraft paper, textures, burlap, inks, ribbons, buttons, glitter and anything that can be up-cycled. I'm excited to be a part of this Buttons Galore & More Design team. I hope my ideas inspire you.
