The most difficult thing to find is the large Clothespins. I found them at a nearby craft store. The stain and paint were from our supplies. We used finishing nails as well which we got at the hardware store. One medium clothespin for each day of the week. I took off the top by sliding the top of the clothespin from the spring. I could stain the entire pin.

I wrote the week name on each clothespin with a contrasting bright color acrylic paint. If you want to use a weekday stencil, you can find them easy enough.

I let it dry and glued/nailed the medium clothespin to the larger clothespin and making sure not to go completely through the large clothes pin; I angled the nail. I made sure not to cover the spring for the large clothespin, and the medium clothes pin as I was gluing. I used the side of a ruler as a spacer between each clothespin. I, then, clamped the medium clothespin after I glued together the medium clothespin to the larger clothespin. I then added the arrows to the day because it was harder to notice which way the clothes pins opened.

I can use the large clothespin as well as the medium ones for each day. If I made another one, I would make sure that the medium clothes pins were a little more zig-zag to allow for more paper clipping room. I need to trifold the paper so I can see what day it pertains to. But, it works and now my counter is free of paper clutter. Visit our blog post below for more details.
