Clothespin organizer

Happy New Year!
(ok, I'm a little late)
But it is a new year and with that comes a renewed desire for organization. My personal desire for organization and less wasted time led me to create these super-cute clothespins. 
Every morning I stand in front of my closet and try to figure out what to wear. When I finally pick something I ask, "Did I just wear this?" Well no more! I think some mom's out there can also see this struggle with kiddos every morning. I decided that on Sunday I would pick out my clothes for the week, label them with clothespins and be done. Imagine what I could do with all that time saved every morning. Here's my closet all ready to go and after that is the tutorial on how to make these beauties!
 Cute right?!

Here's what you need:
5 clothespins
Paint and a paintbrush
Scrapbook paper
Wooden letters
Glue gun
Modge Podge (or make your own)
 First I painted all my clothespins yellow, then I painted the letters black and yellow.

Once the clothespins were dry I used two different designs of scrapbook paper to decoupage the pins. Modge Podge is great but if you don't have any just mix glue and water like I did. 

Once the paper is dry on the clothespins use a glue gun to glue the letters for the days of the week to the end of each clothespin. 

After all this was done I chose to coat everything with a glossy top coat to give it some shine!

So get out there and make them for your whole family!
