Washi tape clothespins

These are so easy and cute. Just make a small snip on the corners and where the tape would otherwise make a bump over the metal part. Washi tape: on hand. Wooden clothes pegs: on Obi's 1 Euro rack (PS- Obi also has those mini rolling adhesive thingies like this for 1 Euro). Easy.

These have been great on my DIY fabric pinboard. I've also seen them used on gifts - shoot, give them as gifts! Where would you use them?

So cute!!! I am now fantasizing about actually hanging my wash from a clothesline with these. You know, one of those lines from a house to a tree. Yeah, that will never happen. :)
This is perfect for hanging my son's artwork. Thanks.

Where did you buy your Washi tape? I still haven't bought any...

Thanks Monica! I've picked them up a few places as we've traveled about, but DEPOT had some at Christmas and the rest my husband put in my Advent calendar (yes, he is the best!). I'm pretty sure he bought them at a little local shop though. I think you can get them at the MT site too.

What a lovely idea! I like to work with washi tape but I never used it on cloth pegs before. It looks so cute!


I just discovered your blog via the Brigitte Award and really really like it here!

cute! Never seen washi tape over here. Germany is cooler.

Very cute! I used clothes pegs to make a birthday card hanger. Those had little hearts and butterflies on them and were mini pegs; but you could use full-sized pegs with washi tape, for a whole new look!

What an adorable idea! I've been buying too many prints off Etsy lately, and have been thinking about stringing up some clothesline-like places to hang them (rather than buying a bunch of expensive frames), and these clips would be perfect!
