These super sparkly and fabulous clips are the perfect way to display your kid's artwork! You may get sick of seeing those ugly vacation magnets or just feel like their artwork deserves more attention...I did!
As soon as I started using these clips for Eli's art I could tell that he felt special. He loved that I was using the 'special clips' to display his art. A little bit of recognition can go a long way in proving to them that they are amazing...because they are!
Materials:
- Clothespins
- Two part Epoxy Glue
- Spray Paint
- Glitter!
Begin by spray painting your clothespins with a thin layer so they have a some color underneath the glitter. Allow the paint to dry a few minutes before you add one last coat. If you are going for the ombre look, just swipe another lighter shade spray paint on the upper half of the clothespin. Move the can over the clips quickly to get more of a faded look.
Once the paint has completely dried you can glue the magnet onto the back of the clothespin. I used a two part epoxy to make sure the magnet didn't come loose after a few uses.
Now add the glitter :) I used Elmer's Glue for the glitter becuase it isn't really holding alot of weight. Add glue to all or part of the front of the clothespin and sprinkle on the glitter.
Voila! You have a fabulous new way to display your kids awesome art! You could also attach art to a 'clothesline' display using these sparkly clothespins! Now go let them make some new art that you can hang!
