This project is a little .... ummmm .... big... lol! I've always loved a play on proportions. Whether big or small, unexpected sizes always add a fun dimension to otherwise average objects.
Recently, I spotted this pin on Pinterest and I knew I had to create an oversized clothespin of my own. Wanna make your own giant clothespin noteholder?
HERE'S THE HOW TO:
Stuff You'll Need:

Giant Clothespin
Craft Paint
Paint Brush
Note: You can find giant clothespins in your craft store's wood working section. I've also seen them on Amazon.com. Find one that is flat on the bottom so that it will stand on its own.
Method:
1. Take the clothespin apart.

2. Paint the clothespin.

3. Put the clothespin together and use it to hold all your notes, lists, cards etc.

So, are you guys as obsessed with oversized and miniature objects as much as I am? I can't. get. enough.
So cute! I didn't even know that they made clothespins that big!

This might be incredibly silly of me, but I had NO idea you could take a clothes pin apart? I painted a bunch for something in my room and it was the most time consuming thing ever--if only I knew! I love this project--would be so fun on a mantle!

Super cute! I've just recently painted some mini clothes pins and used a ribbon to hang photos from them. Had no idea you could take them apart!
