How to Make Clothespin Refrigerator Magnet

Items needed:

Scrap wall paper (or other crafting paper)

Scissors

Pencil

Decoupage

Paint brush

Buttons 

Thin twine (often called baking twine)

Wooden spring clothespins

Craft glue

Magnets for crafting

1. Trace the wooden clothespin on the backside of the scrap wall paper you are using, and cut and trim to fit one flat side of the clothespin.

2. Using paint brush, place a layer of decoupage onto one side of clothespin and place cut paper over and allow to dry.

3. Cut a small piece of twine, thread through the button holes and tie and knot.  Trim off ends.  I was able to feed the twine thru all of my buttons, as they were on the larger size.  You could also use a needle that fits the hole to feed it through, or use thread or quilting thread as well.

4. Using crafting glue, glue a matching button the top of the clothespin.

5. Using crafting glue, glue a magnet to the opposite side of the clothespin and allow to dry.

That's it!  You are done!  These area great to sell at craft shows, gift someone with a new home, random act of kindness or a tuck in for another gift.

Note:  The twine, clothespins, craft glue and paint brushes can often be found at local dollar stores.
