I'm trying to get all my Christmas projects done and I have another one to share with you today. This one is surprisingly quick and easy, even though it involves spray paint. Come to think of it, it involves three of my favorite things, spray paint, pretty paper, and Mod Podge. I thought you might enjoy this one, too.
Shhh... don't tell, but I'm attempting to make sets of these to give as gifts. If you get a set, please act surprised.
Today's project is... Clothes Pin Gift Tags
Materials:
Wooden Clothes Pins
Spray Paint
Patterned Paper
Mod Podge

Well, I can't believe I am first today.
Pastime for out of school with kids, coloring.
Find wonderful printout color pages from Googling.
They are awesome and so nice to send to gramma or grampa, even if they live in town.
Nothing beats Snail Mail.

Such a clever idea. I love it!
Decorating Christmas cookies. I always loved doing that as a kid.
neat projects
I do the Christmas baking with my daughter and 2 grandsons
My kids are getting pretty big, so I am lucky if they want to stay home and spend any time with me. We do usually do one activity together, baking.

On Thanksgiving we make a stapled booklet...."I'm thankful for" and write each person's name at the top of a page....the girls go around and interview each attendee...that way relatives can't resist writing in the booklet. At Christmas same type of stapled booklet that the girls decorate...."Blessing Booklet"....person's name at the top of each page and they write a blessing they have received...hopefully more than one. LOL
I still enjoy baking with my kids--we have yet to do it and they are quite helpful as they are both in their 20's. We also would let them stay up late one night and drive around looking at Christmas lights, we'd bring hot cocoa with us, some of the neighborhoods had a live Santa, others collected foot for the homeless shelters so we'd make sure we had some extra cans of food to leave as well.
Cute idea! It's been a long time, but decrorating cookies and driving around looking at the decorations are two things we always did. My granddaughter and I did Gingerbread men when she lived close, every year trying a different recipe, never found one we really liked, but it was fun anyway.

Thanks for another cute idea and tut. I'm seldom around kidlets so haven't a clue what to do with them, lol.
What a clever idea...love it. I made the gingerbread ornaments with my granddaughters this year.
What? Due to the lack of school, your kids are fighting? Mine aren't fighting AT ALL. (I hope you are reading the heavy sarcasm in there...) Your clothes pin tags are absolutely adorable! Jan, I do not need to add one more thing to my to do list. :P
We like to make glitter Christmas balls and also make treats then ding door ditch them without getting caught.
Thise clothespin tags are precious! We make easy to make angels,and fun and easy origami stars which the grandchildren decorate and let dry before we fold them. I made a couple of them yesterday with two of the grandchildren. I'll post the cutting file on the Silhouette Plus forum if you would like to cut some of them out for your children. They are super easy and fun to make.
I love those clothes pins! What would make them even better is if you could "erase" the names and reuse them - lol.
My son is 17 yrs old and we still bake cookie cutter cookies and decorate them. His friends come over for the decorating. Not much more fun than to watch 3 or 4 teenage boys decorating cookies :-).
could you please reenter the images for this project as I can only see a grey triangle with an exclamation mark thank you
