Clothespin Pot


I'm so excited to be participating in Pinkapotamus' Crafterbowl!  Our secret ingredient was clothespin.  So this is what I came up with.

Supplies:
Clothespins
Glue gun
Faux Grass

Seems pretty easy, right?  Well, it is!

First, break the clothes pin apart so you have 2 wood halves and 1 metal piece.

I started to glue the halves together like so.


I kept going around using the faux grass for measurement.


I glued some clothespin inside to hold up the faux grass.

Here is the end result.
Thanks for Amie for hosting Crafterbowl!  Hope you all enjoyed.

Very cute. It would even look cute with a rusty wire going around where the grove is (where the spring was). Nicely done!
