The project I created today was made for a friend's classroom bulletin board. I wanted to create an easy way for her to hang personal snap-shots in a creative and cute way. She mentioned that she loved polka-dots, and that was an easy inspiration.
I decided to make a clothespin picture line. She ended up loving it so much that we incorporated the same idea in other parts of her classroom. This whole project ended up costing around $1.00!
Supplies Needed:
Clothespins
Scrapbook Paper
Scrapbooking Paper Cutter
Mod Podge (works better than glue, for a clean finish)
To begin, I selected a scrapbook patten that went with not only the polka-dot inspiration, but also the colors of the space. I then measured the clothespins and cut the paper to the desired length and width. All you have to do then, is brush a small amount of the Mod Podge onto one side of the clothespin, place the cut paper on top and brush more of the Mod Podge on top.
Here is the overall look created for one of the bulletin boards in her classroom. The open space was left for her to place school information and meeting information.
