While snowmen make up the bulk of my Christmas decorations, I also like to use snowflakes. It is rare we have a white Christmas, and this brings a little bit of the “dashing through the snow” vibe into the house. Because there were two sizes of the spring clothespins in the house, I tried out three different designs.
These could be painted white, but I kept them with the natural look. I added glitter to the small one although it is hard to see in the photo, and like that effect too. The small size is the more traditional tree-ornament size and the glitter will catch the lights nicely. The large ones will probably end up hanging in some windows.
Because I hate waste, I did a quick search for what to do with the removed springs. I don’t have enough loose beads to do the necklace slider justice, the entire bar section should be covered, but the star ornament worked out nicely. There is enough tension in it to hold the shape pretty firmly even when hanging.
These made me smile so much, the cunningist decorations I ever saw. Brilliant!😊
They would be fun to make and then let the little ones paint or decorate.
I like the natural look of the wood snowflakes. Very clever idea for the springs!
I was glad to find a way to use them.
I love today’s projects!!! Very unique
It’s fun turning an ordinary object into something completely different.
You used every part and made fascinating decorations!
I just felt so bad when I looked at that pile of springs. It didn’t seem right to throw them out.
I really like how homey and low-key many of your projects are–you’re not going off to the craft store and spending lots of money all the time. Your projects seem more authentic because of that.
Low key equals trying to use what I already have these days, although yarn and fabric still find their way into my house somehow.
