Clothing Pin Cuteness

I was wandering through Porters one day looking for an excuse to do a craft when I came across a shelf filled with jumbo clothing pins and I wondered what could I possibly do with these? Many possibilities entered my mind. Magnets on a fridge to hold reminders and fliers, perhaps to hold giant shirts on a drying line... but the idea that won my heart was a hanging picture frame of sorts.

What you will need:
1-5 Jumbo Clothing Pins ($1.00 each at Rexburg Porters)
1 Piece of Twine (length depends on preference)
2 Ceiling Hooks (screws with circle tops)
Scrap-booking Paper
Stickers, ribbons, etc.
Glue Stick
Scissors

The process is pretty simple

Step 1: Trace out shape of Pin on paper and cut it out
Step 2: Glue cut paper onto Pin, don't burn your self!
Step 3: Add on any ribbon or stickers that you want
Step 4: Continue first three steps for all Pins, you can do both sides of clips if you want
Step 5: String Pins onto Twine and space them out
Step 6: Glue the Pins in place by gluing where the twine goes through the Pins.
Step 7: Tie the twine in a knot through your hooks holes and glue those in place as well
Step 8: Insert pictures and find a good place to display your new decor!
