10 Ways to Organize your life with CLOTHESPINS!

July 22, 2013 by Bethany Sy

 

If you’ve been around here for awhile, you know I like to use clothespins for various crafty/creative projects. I love that they’re SO CHEAP, have a bit of an industrial feel, and can be customized so many ways.

Check this out… you can get a package of 100 for 5 bucks! >> (affiliate) Clothspins on Amazon

In addition to my 3 clothespin projects, I’ve rounded up some more super creative and innovative way to use clothespins around the house to help you feel more organized and cut down on clutter!

So many brilliant ideas for using and ORGANIZING with Clothspins! {Reality Daydream}

 

1. Organize tights, scarves, jewelry, etc! LanaRed

Hanging Tights

2. Hang photos on a string to keep your fridge de-cluttered. This site also has a tutorial on dying clothespins pretty colors! PorQueNo

Painted Clothes pins for Hanging Photos

3. Keep stray socks in one place so you can find them when you have a match! My Pretties

Missing Socks

4. Pegboard Calendar… the clothespins make it so easy to switch things out while still looking cute and organized! Craft Stylish

5. MAGNETS! Duh! Manzanita

Magnets

6. Celebration Bunting or Garland… using felt letters! This could be for birthdays or holidays or anything! You could even just make traditional triangle shaped bunting with fabric scraps, and change them out easily with the clothespins! Twinkle and Twine

7. Organize yarn, thread, or lace.. all while keeping the end handy in the mouth of the clothespin! Cornflower Blue Studio

Organize Yarn

8. Attach a clothespin to the lip of your cabinet to keep your recipe off your nasty counter while you cook! This one’s by ME! (link here)

9. Organize your bills and receipts by category to cut down on paper clutter! (trust me, this is SO HANDY) link here

10. Keep all those Christmas cards at bay and looking like artwork with a ‘Christmas Card Wreath’! We actually use this all year around for birthday party invites, wedding RSVP’s, and pictures of the nieces and nephews! link here

You can get a HUGE bag of clothespins at Walmart or even dollar stores for just a couple bucks. Think of the possibilities! AND there are so many ways to customize them and make them cute! Have you done anything crafty with clothespins? Do share!Bethany {Sawdust and Embryos}

    Love the post! I wrap my embroidery thread around clothes pins and it works great! No more tangle-y messes! I also cut out scrapbook paper and glued it on clothes pins to make them pretty 🙂 Then I used some as chip/bag clips, and some I strung threw colored wire and attached it to my wall to display pictures and cards I receive. Thanks for the extra ideas!
