I’ve seen cute decorative clothespin magnets all over the web, and just had to make some of my own. I like this craft for two reasons: it doesn’t require a huge time commitment or skill, and you can be as creative as you want for very little expense.
I cut out some scrapbook paper to fit the size of the clothespins, and then just mod podged it on to the clothespins, and painted a coat over the top. I love stripes, so I thought they turned out adorable.
I used a roll of magnetic tape and cut it up to fit the back of my clothespins.
This tape comes in a roll, and after you cut it to the size you want, just peel off the backing and stick it to the back of your clothespins.
I made some with sweet musical note paper…
Some with glitter…
and my daughter and I made some with peel and stick letters. The possibilities are endless, and I’m sure you all can be a lot more creative than I am.
Of course they are not just for holding notes on the fridge, but they also work great at keeping bags closed!
Have fun making them!
what a fabulous Idea!
I use my clothespins for keeping potato chip bags closed. This looks like an easy project.
How cute! I use clothespins for clips all the time, but I never thought to decorate them!
I love the ones with sheet music. I need to make some like that for our black and white kitchen.
What a great idea! I’m forever looking for clips in my “junk” drawer for potato chip bags and such. I’m off to make some of these right now. Love your blog!!
These are too cute, the possibilities are endless for these! Thank you so much for linking up to my blog party last weekend, I really appreciate it! Hope to see you again soon x

Such a fun idea, and perfect for me since I just picked up some magnet strips that are the perfect size but hadn’t decided what to use them for.
Very cute!
