We are always hanging up kid art in our house. I love to see the creativity of my kids decorating walls and doors and appliances (of course) and my kids get all excited when they see the pieces they’ve worked so hard on hanging up for our family and friends to see. And while magnets are great for the fridge and pins hold them up well on cork boards, sometimes I don’t want holes in their art, especially when I’m going to put it in the special “save” box in our attic, so in those cases, I turn to pin clips. Simple to make and oh so handy, they are one of my mom must haves.

Difficulty level: Beginner
Time to complete: Less than 5 minutes

Thing you’ll need:
Pushpins (look for pins with totally flat tops)
Craft glue
Clothespins

Things to do:
1. Line your clothespins up on your work surface.

2. Apply a dollop of glue near the top of the clothespins on top of the grooves. This helps the glue hold tight to the pin.

3. Press the top of a pin into the glue and allow it to dry completely before pressing the pins into a corkboard for use.
