big bird clothespins

Wow…that title brings back memories of Sesame Street.  LOL.

These are a few of the giant clothespins I decorated for a 3D swap I was in at the gathering I went to in Buffalo, NY.  (I have several other projects to share from both gatherings I went to recently.  I’m still playing catch-up and I’ll try to get them posted soon!)

I started with some giant wooden clothespins and white-washed them with watered down acrylic paint.  Then I decoupaged the designer papers on the front and also applied them to some chipboard coasters.  The coasters were then used to die cut the bird, branch and flowers.  The only stamping on these are the words which were stamped with Stazon ink.  Some ribbon and bling were added to finish them off.

Sorry this is short again!  I have to finish up some little card inserts with a bible verse that we are including with a small gift for the ladies at church on Mother’s Day.  And I also still need to get my own Mother’s Day cards done and in the mail…tomorrow.  LOL.
