I’m all about simple projects now a days. My home decor is constantly changing so it’s gotta be simple and I’m all about up-cycling too. I created this Simple Clothespin Decor out of {clean} tuna cans and of course, clothespins. I love clothespins.
Simple Clothespin Decor
True story. When this idea popped into my brain, it was actually recycling pick up day. I had a huge bag of recycling ready to go at the curb and yes, I did dig through it to find empty tuna fish cans. Fortunately, I eat a lot of tuna so they weren’t hard to find. I’m just so glad I beat the truck to it! As we all know, dumpster diving is considered “OK” in the crafting world.
To make the decoupaged clothespins, I cut strips of paper and Mod Podge them on to clothespins then clipped them on to tuna fish can.
Wouldn’t ya love to receive this little plant holder? It’s such an easy-peasy project to give to a friend, maybe for a new job, a new house, a new craft room or just for a smile. You can also stick a dowel in the planter with a stamped sentiment to personalize the gift more.
You can see my tutorial on how I made the rosette on the front of the planter. here .
I used another tuna fish can to turn into a candle by spray painting the can black and clipping more decoupaged clothespins on to the can.
These Simple Clothespin Decor project is exactly why I’m proud to say I hoard empty cans! Ya just never know when a crafting idea may POP into your head.
