The Best Clothespin Crafts for Adults and Kids

Clothespins are used mainly for hanging laundry out to dry but nowadays there are many more uses for them. Clothespins can be used to create adorable crafts, decor and can be useful in other ways. Today I will be sharing some Clothespin Crafts for Adults and Kids that will inspire you with a fun craft idea create your own use for the clothespin.

WHAT CAN YOU MAKE WITH A CLOTHESPIN?

While we usually only use clothespins for hanging laundry and as a decoration in our laundry room, there are actually a lot of fun clothespin crafts and clothespin art ideas that you can create for adults and kids!

WHERE CAN YOU FIND CLOTHESPINS?

Clothes pins are commonly found in the grocery stores and stores like Target and Walmart next to their laundry and cleaning supplies. Wooden Clothespins are also commonly found in your local craft store like Michaels. The wooden clothespins with the wire hinge or clip are the most common and can be found in most places. The older style of wood clothespins with a slit instead of a clamp, can be harder to find but I have found them on amazon here. You can also find mini clothespins on Amazon here.
