Wall picture frame
All that is required for its creation is a pair of clothespins, a string and a tea strainer.
Multifunction hanger
In order to do it, you do not need the usual clothespins – elongated, with a hook at the end. But you can not only hang clothes, but also leave messages to the household.
Decorations for Halloween
All Saints’ Day is already close – it’s time to think about decorating the house. For this, the clothespins painted in traditional for Halloween colors – black and orange – are perfect. Draw on them (or make of paper) the devil, the pumpkin and other characters, and the toys are ready.
“Live” toys
To please yourself and your children, you can make toys from clothespins. Draw on paper, for example, a shark. One half of it is glued to the bottom of the clamp, and the other to the top. As a result, squeezing the clothespin, the shark will “open” the mouth.
Photo Collage
To create such an original photo collage you will need a beautiful frame, a rope, clothespins and actual photos. Pull the rope inside the frame and attach your favorite photos to it.
Frame-wheel
An unusual photo collage can also be made using clothespins and an old bicycle wheel. Spokes will serve as a “support”, on which you can snap photos.
New Year card
Clothespins, painted in white, with cute faces and cheerful scarves – an excellent addition to the New Year’s greeting card. Attach them to the paper, and the good snowmen will transform your congratulations.
Garland for congratulations
This is an excellent solution for congratulating colleagues in the office. Make such a “board of honor” with garlands of clothespins, and any employee will be able to leave there his note-congratulation.
Wedding greeting
Typographic cards are trite. Surprise the newlyweds with a card from the clothespin. To do this, paint one part of it in white (the bride’s dress) and the other in black (the tuxedo of the groom). Do not forget about the eyes, lips and veil. “Open” clothespin – lovers look into each other’s eyes; “Closed” – merged into a passionate kiss. Such an original greeting will replace a thousand words.
Christmas decorations
Two clothespins, glued together, and one more, attached from above – and Santa’s deer is ready. It remains only to paint the toy in the right color, draw the eyes and attach a nose. In this version of RudolfCo look at the Christmas tree is very cute.
Sweet Butterflies
These “butterflies” with delicious filling are what you need for a children’s holiday. Put the treats in cellophane bags and pull them with a clothespin, painted under the butterfly, – wings will turn out. Children will not only be delicious, but, thanks to the original packaging, it is interesting.
Candlestick or pots
With the help of a tin can and wooden clothespins, two beautiful and useful things can be done at once. If you attach the clothespins along the edge of the jar and put a small candle inside the glass cup inside, you get a candlestick; and if you pour inside the land and plant flowers, the original pot will come out.
Pac-Man
Make Pakmana simple: a yellow circle cut in the middle, in one half draw an eye and glue it to the top of the clothespin, and the second, respectively – to the bottom. And to make it very realistic, you can also attach a figurine of the cast.
Card holder
If you want your message to be noticed right away, do not put it, but put it on the table. In this you will help the usual clothespin. However, it is better to use a clamp with wide “paws” – so the holder will be more stable.
Clothespins-Batman
These are clothespins for real superheroes. Making them with your own hands will not be so easy (you’ll have to get wings somewhere), but you will have the coolest devices in the world for a superhero cloak.
Photo wall
This is another way to organize and store photos. The metal grille and clothespins help to free up your favorite pictures from the dusty captivity of the photo album. In addition, you can change the exposure as often as you want.
Pencil holder
From 10-15 wooden clothespins you can make a very pretty cup for pencils. It’s enough to glue them together “in a circle”. And for the sake of beauty – to gild and wrap a ribbon. But do not forget about the bottom – it can be made from cardboard.
Clothes pencil
Combine the incompatible attempted designer Bartosz Mucha. He “crossed” with a clothespin a pencil and other objects. The result turned out to be quite interesting – things from conventional steel are multifunctional. However, the practical expediency of such transformations raises doubts.
Wreath
From a metal hoop and a set of multicolored (or rather – painted in different colors) clothespins, you can make this wreath for decorating the interior. The undeniable plus is that if you get tired of such decor, you can easily change it by coloring clothespins in a different way.
Chandelier
To make such a designer chandelier you will need metal rings and a grid, a lamp holder, wires, metal scissors and many, many clothespins. For detailed instructions on manufacturing, click here. It turns out a very atmospheric chandelier-spruce, comfortably scattering light around the room.
Shortcuts
In order not to get confused in your own linen closet, you can make such funny labels. To do this, you need to paste on the clothespin beautiful paper and make the appropriate inscriptions: “towels”, “sheets”, “diapers”, etc.
Cat in the Hat
Such a fun toy will appeal not only to children, but to adults. It’s a cat! However, “dress” in a hat and a butterfly can be any, dear heart, little beast. To do this, you need to find suitable pasta, glue them to the clothespin and decorate.
Clamp for flowers
You will not surprise anyone with flowers in a usual polyethylene package, but with a bouquet with a holder made of clothespins, you can. The main thing is to find a clothespin more (so that the stems fit into the “eyelet”) and slightly zadekorirovat.
Fridge magnets
By gluing magnetic paper to one side (sold in stationery stores) and beautifully decorating it, you will get a bright and useful magnet on the refrigerator. Useful, because you can snap photos, notes and stuff.
Mouse-Norushki
Another cute little thing for children and their parents are mice from clothespins. Ears, antennae and tail – from felt, eyes purchased (although you can draw). Make such a mouse does not take more than half an hour.
Wreath – holder for photos
This is another version of the wreath for decorating the interior. To make it, you will need an old wire hanger, paint, ribbon and, of course, clothes pegs. They need to be painted in any suitable color, and then strung on a hoop made of a hanger. In this case, clothespins will retain their functionality – you can attach photos of loved ones to them.
Hanger for kitchen
Household things, such as clothespins, it is difficult to find non-standard application. But you can! For example, do not pinch their underwear, and make them a measuring tape hanger for all sorts of kitchen trifles. It looks very bright.
Table lamp
German designer David Olschewski likes to use household items for other purposes (for example, shovel and pitchfork as a clothes hanger). Sometimes it turns out very cool. At least, the table lamp from clothespins looks impressive.
Mirror
To make such a frame for a wall mirror, you need: the mirror itself, clothespins, glue gun, “clip” -fitting, satin ribbon and … tin can. The latter is required in order to glue the clothespins in a circle.
Wedding accessories
Such beautiful and delicate clothes, decorated with artificial flowers, can be used to fasten covers for chairs, tablecloths, canopies and other decorative elements used at weddings.
PhotoPrize
Take this idea into service if you want to surprise a loved one. A garland of photos attached to the rope with clothespins is a bright and romantic way to remember your best joint moments.
Whale and shark
Admirers of marine themes, for sure, like a kit-clothespin and a shark-clothespin. Such toys can be made by decorating the clamps properly and attaching fins. Even more sea giants will “revive” the red tongue of felt.
Airplane
To become an “aircraft builder” you only need ice cream sticks and a clothespin. Paint them in contrasting colors, glue them, and the biplane is ready.
Holders for storing yarn
This is lifhak for needlewomen. Handmade masters from tangles often have a little yarn left. It’s a pity to throw it away, but to keep it troublesome. But clothespins will help to solve this problem.
Stand under the hot
If the clothespin is dismantled, then from its details it is possible to make a very useful thing in the household – a stand under hot plates and pans. For this, the details of the clothespins need to be glued over the ends so that a circle turns out.
