Patriotic Clothespin Wreath

Supplies:

Wood Stars 1 to 4 inches each

Acrylic paint : White, Blue, Red

Mini Glue Gun

Mod Podge Silicone Craft Mat

Clothespins 

                                      

Painted all of the clothespins. Then paint the wooden stars.  When the clothespins and stars are dry, it was time to put them on the wire wreath frame.

The wreath frame has 4 wires.  When putting the clothespins on the frame, skip using the top (outside) wire and use the other three.  Started by putting the pin on the second wire and extending to the third wire.  The next pin starts on the third wire and ends on the bottom wire.  This way the clothespins sit at different angles and they look nice.  Alternated the clothespins all the way around the wreath frame.

Put all of the blue clothespins together.  Then put 5 red clothespins followed by 5 white pins then continued the pattern around the wire wreath frame. 

Next hot glue the stars onto the blue clothespins.  When gluing the stars for this project, make sure you use a high temperature glue gun.  The high temperature will make sure that the stars stay glued to the clothespins, especially when the wreath is outside in weather.
