Today I want to share a tutorial for DIY photo clips. I love these things! You can use them for SO many things. I have a few clipped on to my chicken wire memo board I made.  I also like to make them to use as gift tags and magnets, or you can even add a magnet on the back and stick it to your refrigerator to hang your child’s artwork. Here is how you make these adorable DIY photo clothespins.

Instructions:

Clothespins and wood cutouts can be found at most craft stores like Michael’s or Joann for less than $1.00. The wood cutouts come in many great shapes as well.

  1. Print out your favorite photos on your printer. You may have to resize them to make sure they fit properly onto your wood cutout. Using a pen, trace the wood cutout onto your photo.
  2. Cut out your photo. It fits best if you cut just inside the traced line.
  3. Using a foam brush, glue on your photo with Mod Podge. If desired, you can place a coat or two of Mod Podge on top of your photo as well.
  4. Hot glue a clothespin to the back of your photo.

Use them anywhere you like, such as gift tags, party favor closures, memo holders, and magnets!
