The World's Largest Clothespin





Big things are fun! Including these giant clothespins I found at Jo-anns (half off, woo-hoo!). What were they intended for? Paperweights? Gag gifts? I don't know. But I found the perfect use for them in my would-be artist daughter's room. I hope now to never again find her paintings Scotch taped to the walls.



I just predrilled a hole in the back, marking carefully so all the holes would be in the same place, lovely uniformity. Then slid a screw through a washer (screw head slightly too small) and screwed the clothes pins to the wall. I only happened to hit a stud once, so for most of them I screwed into a drywall screw pre-installed.



"Ginger. You. Are. My. Sunshine(Picture of sun shining)". Later realized, could also be read: "Ginger, you are my sun." Which sounds a lot more confusing than it looks.
