Jolly Holiday Clothespins and Tags for Craft Project Central

Decorative clothespins and tags are one of the latest creations I designed for Craft Project Central.  I love how you can take an ordinary household item, clothespins, and dress them up.  You can attach tags with clothespisn to gift bags and the receipients of your gift can use the decorative clothespins to hold  mail, close their opened chip bags, etc.  I'm sure you can think of more uses.

The clothespins are painted and sealed.  Yes, the hard part is putting the spring back on after the painting and sealing.  The acrylic paints were close to the Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla and Old Olive.
