Hi friends! Are you ready for another round of knock-off projects? This month we are creating projects inspired by one of my favorite stores, Urban Outfitters. My project this month is super simple. You can complete it in less than 5 minutes. And because I already had all of the supplies on hand, this project was absolutely FREE! Read on to learn how to create your own floral clothespins {one of my favorite clothespin crafts ever}!
First, let me show you my Urban Outfitters inspiration for this project. At $12.00, they certainly aren't expensive, but the colors weren't exactly what I wanted and I knew I could make them for much less than $12.00 and have them be totally customized to my liking.
Materials Needed:
- Clothespins
- Washi Tape
- Scissors
- Utility or craft knife
Steps:
- Cut the end of your washi tape so that you have a nice, clean, straight edge.
- Lay it on top of your clothespin, making sure it is lined up and straight. Run your washi tape the length of your clothes pin, cutting it at the appropriate length.
3. Use your utility knife to expose the metal part of the clothes pin.
That's it! I told you it was easy! How cute are these? I can't wait to hang them up and use them in my office/craft room {details on that coming soon}!
What do you think of these embellished clothespins? What other clothespin crafts have you seen that you love?

So cute! Would be great to use on a present, too.
Totally Rad, Tasha! I love how simple yet the perfect little unexpected detail to an everyday item. Great work, love the use of washi-tape (I always stare at my stash wondering what to do with them!!)
Awww, thanks so much Trisha! I am kind of obsessed with washi tape :)
Tasha – these are so adorable and I love the patterns on the washi tape you used!
Thanks, Katie!
What a great idea! I would have never thought to use washi tape on them. I could definitely see myself doing some cheap Christmas decorating with these!
That’s a great idea, Ashley!
These look so good! I have never used washi tape on anything! i think I need to get some soon!
Thank you, Erika! They are so simple and cute. I am kind of addicted to washi tape. So much you can do with it!
These are so fun! I used washi tape for the first time ever this past weekend, and now I’m hooked :)
Washi tape is totally addictive, Brynne! Beware!
Love how these turned out! So much more colorful than U.O.!
Now this is a DIY I could actually do! Great way to use some of my washi tape from my ever expanding collection!
Thanks, Marissa! You should go for it!
I love these! I covered some clothespins this weekend too! Fun!
Thanks so much, Leigh Anne!
