DIY Clothespin Pushpins




My mom had some old school clothes pins that she wasn't using anymore, and I wanted to find a creative way to incorporate them into my office space. Because I saw some glittered clothes pins at Michaels (like 5 for $3), and I thought they were such a rip off, I wanted to show other people how to transform these simple items into fashionable pieces for their office.

 Materials

  • Clothespins 
  • Pushpins
  • Paint or Decorative Paper
  • E-6000 or Super Glue



I took my clothes pins and pushpins outside to prime them with white spray paint (just so my colors could show through really well). I put them on a pizza box because it made it easier to pain both pins all around without smearing. 


 Next I placed the clothes pins at the edge of the box (below) so I could mark where I wanted to place the push pins. Also to paint the pins the color I wanted. I  glued the push pins just past the Torsion Springs of the clothespin.

Below are the finished products. What's great about these are that they canbe customizes to your individual style. Hope you enjoy!
