Not Your Average Clothes Pin 2

Very similar to "Not Your Average Clothes Pin" but with a little Modge Podge and fabric twist! This is a really simple and quick project to re-purpose and re-style your average clothespin ... making it oh so functionally cute!

Not Your Average Clothespin 2

Supplies

Clothespins
Fabric Strips
Modge Podge
Scissors
Glue
Decorative Embellishment
Push Pin or Magnet

Oh so "functionally cute"!

Gather your supplies and set aside about 10 minutes of your time ...

Cut fabric to the width of your clothespin ...
(oh my goodness ... I need to do my nails before my next "hand photo"!)

I used my rotary cutter but you can use scissors too ...

Cut fabric to the length of your clothespins ...

Modge Podge one side of your clothespin. I used Fabric Modge Podge but any Modge Podge will work nicely ...

Lay your fabric onto the modge-podged clothespin, rub down with your finger, and then apply another layer of Modge Podge over the fabric ...

Glue your embellishment of choice at the top of the clothespin ...

Pick your backing. I chose the magnet for this project ...

Glue to the back ...

... and now you have a very "functionally cute" fabric covered clothespin!

Like the fabric-covered magnets? See the tutorial {here}.
