I'm new to your site, so I'm not sure if this will appeal to ya all, but here goes...
I paint a clothespin all one color,usually white.then make "paw prints"
on it with dipping the end of my paintbrush into a different color and making a dot on the clothespin.
Then take a toothpick and make four more dots above the big dot.
I will do this all over the clothespin, usually all in different colors.
I then make a bow with narrow ribbon and glue it about 1/4 of the way down the clothespin.
Then glue a flower, or whatever in the center of the bow.
Glue some magnetic strips on the back and they're done.
They're great for holding the kids artwork, pictures, the grocery list or maybe even the winning lottery ticket(wishful thinking on my part)You could make any design you wanted on them, flowers, snowmen(tis the season)or anything that appeals to you.
The kids love to make these too.They're very inexpensive and easy to make.
