Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with wooden clothes pins? These are the kind that are squeezed together on the ends. There might be 50. Thank you.

Could put up a colourful cord and use them to attach your kids' art from school, and change out when new is brought home. Could actually get the kids to decorate them with craft paint for the project.

remove the spring, there will be two pieces of wire at the top of the spring that will open, place three or four beads on these two ends and push them together so they won't fall out. Do as many as you like and then string them on jewelry wire and you have a new necklace. the jewelry wire should be placed through the circular end of the spring

Glue magnets and paint the fronts like minions, stick figures, nutcrackers, (you get the idea, long and skinny characters) And then use them as catch alls on the fridge. Save a few as chip clips. Can even remove the spring and lay them out in patterns, then glue and paint.

I paint them and use them to clip papers together. Use chalk paint and you can even label them. My daughter put up a little "clothesline" in my granddaughter's playroom. The theme of the playroom is ladybugs, so the clothespins are painted red with black dots - adorable. We hang her artwork to dry and cards she receives on it.

My niece made a cute wreath by clipping them onto a ring to make a wreath. She painted hers like a flag. Very cute. You could paint it many different ways depending on the season or what room you hung it in.

They are adorable used to hang any fabric you choose as curtains. Painted or plain for a rustic look.

Make a Thanksgiving garland with them by using some type of thick string and placing the clothes pins on it. Place notes or cards on the banner attached with the clothespins of things you are thankful for or that your children or grandchildren are thankful for. It is also a sweet idea to have children write things that they will do to help others during the holiday season and learn to give back to others and be grateful. Hope this helps!
