Gator Clothespins

Gatorpins, Alligator Clothespin

Yup….those would be clothespins that look like alligators! Cute, right? I actually made them for my sister’s baby shower (pictures coming soon), but my daughter LOVES to play with them. Just think of all the things you can clip together using these little guys…

First, I dyed my clothespins using RIT Dye (Forrest Green). It’s super easy and takes about 10-15 minutes. Then set aside to dry completely…trust me on this one or else you will have a green thumb (and NOT in a good way!)

Careful….they may bite ;)

    Thank you for featuring me on your Facebook page! I don’t think I would have ever thought about dying the clothespins with RIT Dye! These turned out super cute! You could run a string between two posts or screws and hang your kids artwork with these!
