Now you have the opportunity to buy very original objects for your crafts in many bazaar stores. This is the case of these wooden clips that have a different appearance than the normal ones, they are wider and are made with a more beautiful design. To make them more curious we have decorated them with small pompoms and we have used our creativity to make artistic drawings by hand with the help of markers and more acrylic paint. If you do not have the opportunity to find this type of tweezers you can always use the wooden tweezers of a lifetime.
The materials that I have used are:
- wooden clothespins
- colored acrylic paint (black, white, red, silver)
- red and black marker
- three small pompoms in black and one in white
- big white pompom
- typex
- thick brush and fine brush
- pencil
- silicone glue
You can see this craft step by step in the following video:
First step:
We paint the wooden clothespins with acrylic paint. One of them is painted white, another black, another gray and the other silver. Let it dry well to continue decorating.
Second step:
We choose the white color clamp and paint with the help of a brush and black color the word HELLO. On one side of the clip we glue three black pompoms.
Third step:
We choose a caliper that we have painted silver and draw with a red marker three hearts on top. The lower part of the clamp is painted red. When the paint dries we paint in the red part some transversal lines white with the help of a fine brush.
Fourth step:
We will also decorate the black clip. In the lower part of the clamp we will draw some white cross lines. First we will draw them with the pencil to guide us to do it later with the paint. To paint the lines, we will either use the tipex and test how it looks, or if you prefer, we can use white acrylic paint and draw them with the help of a fine brush.
Fifth step:
We place and glue a small white pompom in one of the tweezers that we paint with hearts. The other big white pompom We will stick it in the lower part of the black clamp.
Step Six:
Now we only have to decorate one of the clamps. The we will paint some original drawings With our black marker, we can see it in the photos or by following the video we have made. All that remains is to use the clips to hold photos, invoices, papers or close bags.
