How to Make Clothespin Christmas Ornaments
Make some beautiful ornaments for your Christmas tree this year using clothespins! Go to the Dollar Tree and grab some packs of clothespins. I also saw you can get clothespins in bulk on Amazon to make a bunch of these snowflakes!

I always love making Dollar Tree crafts because you can make so many for cheap! These snowflake ornaments would make lovely Christmas gifts for parents, friends, grandparents, etc.

You can also paint the sides and back of the clothespins white so when they flip over they'll look nice. I think using spray paint is the best choice for this project.

If you have lots of clothespins, try making our clothespin angels, nutcracker, and homemade Christmas ornaments!
