A Fun Mother's Day Gift to Make - Refrigerator Clip
Keep your refrigerator organized with this special gift for Mom,
Grandma, Auntie or Dad!

You'll need:
Paint Stir Stick 
Paint 
3 Clothespins (with a spring) 
Wood or Craft glue
Magnetic Strip 
Buttons/decorations, optional

Paint the stir stick with acrylic paints. then decorate 
the clothes pins with permanent markers or acrylic paints.
When the paint is dry, glue the 3 clothespins onto the stir stick.
Personalize the stick with pictures or the child's name. 
I like to use fabric paint to add dimension. When the fabric paint is dry, about 24 hrs. Attach a magnetic strip to the back of the stick.
You can also decorate the tip of the clothes pins by attaching items
with craft glue. In our illustration 
we chose flowers, but you can use buttons, ribbons, pictures...
look around your craft/fabric store to see what small goodies they have.
Tip:
The magnetic strip may not be strong enough for heavier art works...
Try 3 strong magnets attached with a glue gun. Did you know that shower curtains have magnets at the bottom. Cut them out before throwing away your old shower curtains!
