I always need clothes pins to hang my workout gear when it comes out of the wash. Workout clothes are waaaaaaaay to overpriced to have them shrink up on me, and I like my zumba pants baggy...so I don't take any chances. Since I painted my laundry room and made it really nice to look at, I figured I should do something to the ugly clothes pins that hold my zumba clothes. I teach zumba 6 days a week, so I always have the clothes hanging in my laundry room (and by laundry room, I usually mean the pull up bar in my closet...but I promise that I will start hanging clothes to dry in the laundry room now that the laundry room is pretty)
I don't remember which blog I saw this project on, but I thought it was such a great idea! It's really simple too, mod podging scrapbook paper to a clothes pin...instant upgrade! I was just thinking too, since it's almost Christmas and all, that my laundry room might have to get a mini-tree this year...with clothes pin ornaments...YES!!!!
Here's what you need:
mod podge, any type
clothes pins, i bought a huge pack at walmart for around $4
scrapbook paper, i bought a big pack at walmart for $5
scissors
small paintbrush of foam applicator
a ruler
a pencil
a piece of cardboard
Here's what you do:
Measure the width and length of the clothes pin with your ruler
Make lines across the back side of your scrapbook paper that are the width of the clothes pin
Make lines down the back side of your scrapbook paper that are the length of the clothes pin
Cut along the lines
Clip the clothes pin to the cardboard, and apply a layer of mod podge to the clothes pin. Be careful not to get mod podge on the spring, because your clothes pin won't work.
Lay a piece of your cut paper on the clothes pin, and apply another coat of mod podge on top of the paper.
Once it dries, flip the cardboard over and do the same thing to the other side.
