we made these cute flower clothespins for the stampers club project last week. i found directions on carrie rhoades' blog--but i can't seem to find the link so i'll show you how to make them...
first, cover your clothespin with paper of your choice. punch out 11 scallop circles and "scrunch" them up. it doesn't matter if they rip a little, just wrinkle 'em good.
next fold 10 scallop circles in 1/2...
...and then in 1/2, again to look like this. they do not have to line up exactly.
here's mine.
place a pop-up glue dot in the center of your scallop circle that you did not fold (i turned mine over...it is light blue in the previous picture & stripes in this picture). now, place 4 of your "triangles" on the glue dot, lining them up next to each other, points toward the center.
place another pop-up glue dot in the center of the layer you just completed and repeat, covering the "seams" of the first layer.
with the remaining 2 "triangles," you need to snip off the points.
they will look like this...
place another pop-up glue dot in the center of your last layer. attach the last 2 "point-less triangles" in the center. now, just "fluff" your petals, scrunch, etc. until you get your desired look. Ü
here is a top view of the flower on a clothespin.
you could use these as bag closures...
...or paper clips. you could also put a magnet on the back and hang it on a fridge or office magnetic board. Ü
