Start by lightly sketching the designs such aas Santas, snowmen, and nutcrackers onto each clothespin. Divide the sections for hats, faces, and clothing.
Paint the base colors first. Use red for Santa’s suit, black for nutcrackers, and white for snowmen. Let them dry before layering details.
Add belts, buttons, scarves, and facial features using a fine brush. Tiny details like rosy cheeks or a glittery buckle make a big difference.
Once the paint is fully dry, spray a thin coat of sealant to protect your designs and give them a smooth finish.
Finally, use your festive clothespins as tree ornaments, card holders, or to clip small gift bags shut.
