clothespin magnets

I’m almost done with organizing my recipes! As a gal that likes to cook and owns a lot of recipes, that’s saying a lot! On my kitchen counter, I have a magnet board that I use as a recipe card holder while I cook. It tends to get easily cluttered with recipes and I had a bunch of random magnets holding everything up. It was a complete eye soar. I made some new magnets to help with the clutter and with the visual problem.

All you need to complete this easy little project is some clothespins, paint and paint supplies, magnets, a glue gun, and some pens.

First, begin by taking apart your clothespins. Then paint them any color you desire and let dry.

You can leave them plain if you desire, but I used some Micron pens to add some pattern. I love love love Micron pens for fine details! They come in a large variety of thicknesses. I’ve been using them for years!

Once your doodling is complete, put your clothespin back together. It can be a bit tricky, but keep at it and you’ll get it back together.

I’m really happy with the way these turned out! I love my new recipe box and recipe display! If you like my magnet board, this one on Amazon is very similar to the one I own!
