Clothespin Cross
This cross made from clothespins is such a simple and budget friendly home decor project!
Yield: 1 cross
Cost: $3
Equipment
- Hammer
Materials
- 16 Wood clothespins
- Mod Podge
- Acrylic paint dilluted, or stain
- Nail small, for hanging
Instructions
- Pull apart 16 Wood clothespins. Twist out the top piece, and the bottom piece and clip will be left behind. Remove the metal clips and discard.
- Use craft glue to attach the clothespins together and let dry. You can see that I'm placing glue in three areas, and then sandwiching the clip together. You'll essentially re-assemble the pin, but without the metal clip.
- Assemble the clothespins in a cross formation (refer to the diagram if necessary) and glue. Let dry.
- Use acrylic paint diluted with a little bit of water to stain the cross. Let dry, turn over, and repeat on the other side. Use a smaller paintbrush to access smaller areas.
- Once the paint is dry, give the cross a coat of Mod Podge to seal. Let dry and repeat on the other side. Let dry completely, then hang with the nail.
