Clothespins Aren’t Just for Drying Clothes Anymore

Miniature Foosball

Clothespins make great miniature foosball players. Just use a ping pong ball instead of a regular foosball.

Scarf or Necktie Holder

Do you have a collection of scarves or neckties? Organize them along a doorway or wall with a row of clothespins for easy access before you leave the house.

Decorative Stars

Glue five clothespins together to make decorative five-pointed stars to hang on the wall. Paint them various colors to brighten your child’s bedroom.

Intricate Lampshades

The gaps created by clothespins let just enough light through for a homemade lampshade.

Painbrush Holder

For the aspiring painter in your life, mount clothespins over a tub to hold paintbrushes. After you clean them off, they can hang to dry.

Sunflower

Paint on inner circle of clothespins black and a second, outer circle yellow to make a beautiful sunflower decoration for your wall. Paint both circles yellow to make a sun.
