Giant Clothespin Shopping List Keeper


Even though I’m a serious list maker, I have a terrible habit of using something up from the fridge and forgetting to write it down on the shopping list I keep in my bag. But no more! Now the list, and a pencil to add to it, will be handily kept right on the fridge, ready for me (and anyone else rummaging for something to eat) to add to it so that we don’t forget anything the next time we are at the store!

Difficulty level: Moderate
Time required: 10 minutes plus dry time

Things you’ll need:
Giant clothespin
Magnets
Superglue
Drill with bit sized slightly larger than a pencil
Red acrylic paint or other color of your choice
Foam brush
Permanent marker

Things to do:
1. On a covered work surface, paint the clothespin on all sides and allow it to dry.


2. Drill a hole in the clip end of the clothespin, angling toward the end., drill only through one half of the clip.
3. Touch up paint as needed.
4. Glue several magnets to the back, top and bottom and allow them to dry.
5. Using your marker, ink Shopping” onto the clothespin, starting at the wide end and heading toward the clip end.

6. Attach to the fridge, clipping paper into the clothespin and setting a pencil in the hole, ready for use.
