Heart Clothespin Valentines

My daughter and I have been making clothespin crafts lately {airplane clothespins & caterpillar clothespins}. I had some left over and thought it’d be fun to make heart clothespin valentines. When you turn a heart sideways it looks like lips so I printed little tags that say “Smooch. Muah. Kiss.” Here is how I made them.

Materials:

Clothespins
Scrapbook paper
Paper cutter or scissors
Mod Podge
Paint brush
Computer and printer

Instructions:

I picked some pretty pink scrapbook paper with a light print, cut them to size with a paper cutter and glued and sealed them with Mod Podge. This is the bottom of the clothespin. I let them dry completely.

I printed “Smooch. Muah. Kiss.” on it in different fonts on the same pink paper and I cut them out to fit on the clothespins for the top half.

I put Mod Podge directly on the clothes pin, the tag I made on top, and then sealed it with another layer of Mod Podge on top of that. Allow it to dry for about fifteen minutes.

While those were drying I cut out hearts and cut them in half.

I Mod Podged the heart on the side of the clothespin and sealed it with more Mod Podge on top.

Here are a couple AFTER photos.

I also made a collage!

The possibilities are endless with this little craft. You can make different sayings, similar to conversation hearts or make them more personalized. I thought these would also be cute with lips instead of a heart.
