Patterned Paper on Something Besides a Card

Hi everyone-

I felt so great about having a few posts in a row there.....I actually pre-posted them. It seemed like the only way.

I wanted to share this project with y'all. It's so easy, and so fun, and I think they turn out really cute! And in keeping to my goal of using up my obnoxious stash of pp, I even used some for this project!

They are clothes pins that have been decorated, and then you hang a ribbon up and then use the clothes pins to hold up pictures, art work, basically whatever you want. I made this set for a sample for my friend Katherine who is teaching this as a little mini craft class for the ladies group at church.I did mine for a little boys room, because, well, that's my world with three boys and the fourth one to hopefully be here within the next month! I wish I would have taken a picture of them attached to the ribbon. But oh, well! Perhaps after the class when I get them back I'll do that. I think I might use them with these vintage alphabet cards I have and hang it over the baby's crib....that is if we ever get around to setting it up!

I have a bunch of these clothes pins decorated in Christmas theme that I use to hang all the Christmas cards we receive in a lighted garland! It is really cute, next Christmas I will take a picture of it and post it.

Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day.
