Day 11 - Clothespin Wreath

Nate and I made this a few years back. It was so adorable, and it kept him busy for a good deal of time.



Clothespin Wreath

What you need:

2 brass rings, 1 10" and 1 12" (found in any craft store)
clothespins (enough to cover the entire clothespin)
Green spray paint
Red puffy paint
Glue Gun


What you do:

Spray all of the clothespins with green paint so they are completely covered. Let dry completely.

Once dry, clip clothespins around the small ring, making sure to cover the entire ring. Glue the larger ring to the back of the clothespins with the glue gun. Let dry.

Use red puffy paint to add 'holly' to the wreath. You can also use pom poms, glitter, or buttons to decorate.

(Wreath should hang well by the back ring, but if it does not, glue a small piece of wire, shaped like a U, to the back for hanging.)
