Doesn’t it? These are my first made Christmas things of the year and I heart them. I was the proud recipient of some awesome vintage clothespin this fall. I knew I had to do something with them, but couldn’t think of anything….until now.
I first mod podged some vintage paper all over the clothespins. Then I hot glued the open end of 5 clothespins onto a wooden circle (you can get precut shapes at craft stores) so it looked like a snowflake.
Then I bought the doilies from the Dollar Store (2 in a pack) and glued them on one side. I hand embroidered different Christmas things on some scrap linen and machine sewed it to a larger and darker piece of fabric. Then I glued that on in the middle of the doily.
I also added some glue and glitter randomly on the front. A little round piece of felt covers the center back for a clean look and some hemp string tied on for it to hang. I’m tempted to leave them out all year!
These snowflakes are SO adorable! I heart them as well! I want to make some now. Wouldn’t they be cute on a little jute garland?

so cute!
Oh my gosh I saw those and thought, Hmmm.. those are cute. What could I do with them?” Now I know. GREAT idea!
awesome snowflakes!!!!! I really heart them too!!!!
cute idea. I thought for a minute that you used vintage pieces. I was going to say, “what will grandma say when she sees what you did with those!” Who knew they could come from the dollar store!
fabulous idea.
How original ! I love the lacy textures of the doilies.
I really love these! They’re so delicate and beautiful! What a great gift they’d make. Your work is always so great. Merry Chirstmas!
