DIY Project: Bulletin Board Clips

This pas weekend I decided to take on a few DIY projects.  I haven't really done anything crafty in awhile and it was hot outside so I retreated to my office space and made these cute little bulletin board clips that have been on my to-do list for awhile.  

 

These are super easy to make and will go great in my new cubicle at work. (Nope, not a promotion :( just re-organizing our floor.) 

Here is what you need:  Mod Podge, thumb tacks, super glue, paper scraps, and clothespins.

Step 1} Cut the paper to the size of the clothespin.

Step2} Use a small sponge brush to apply a light layer of mod podge to the clothespin and lay the paper on top. Let it dry for a minute or two.

Step 3} Add a layer of mod podge to the top side of the paper.  Repeat this step at least 2-3 times allowing the mod podge to try a minute or two in between applications.

Step 4} Once the mod podge is dry put a little dot of super glue on the back of the clothespin and attach the thumb tack.  Let this dry.  You could use magnets too if you want to put them on your fridge!

One piece of advice - buy the higher quality clothespins.  The cheap-o Walmart version don't cut it.

Ta - Da!  You have your very own pretty bulletin board clips!

Like I said - these will work great in my new cubicle and on the bulletin board I created. Click here to see that project.  I'm thinking they would also work well as "welcome to the office" gifts.  I may try to use rubber stamps to add words like to do, file, mail, for fun... and use them as organization clips.  We'll see... 

Enjoy!
