Yellow Clothespins

Posted on by Kate Whitley

If you’ve never been to a craft festival and seen my work displayed, you probably didn’t know that I am obsessed over clothespins. But not just any clothespins – yellow clothespins. I used to hand paint every single clothespin that I used to hang my work at shows. It was VERY time consuming (ask my intern Charis!)

Well, I found out how to dye clothespins, thanks to this handy tutorial by Rit Dye. We dyed about 300+ clothespins in under two hours. And they turned out to be the most perfect yellow.
