I should have had clothespin word note clips like these when my kids were in school. Paper season is getting ready to start, are you ready? I’m talking about back to school and the flood of forms and paperwork that pile up each year.
All with deadlines.
One year, my son received a bad grade because he didn’t return a form I should have filled out by a certain date 🙁
Hmmm, talk about feel guilty.
You only need three items to make these clothespin word note clips.
Clothespins
Letter stamps
Ink pad
You could add magnets to your shopping list if you wanted to put your clothespin note clips up on the fridge.
The only tip I have to share is… put the letters together to center them on the clothespin.
Stamp away. It becomes a bit addicting.
Yes, no, later, now…Looks like I was feeling pretty contrary when I made these.
They brought lots of memories back of when my three kids we all in school. There would be piles of papers strewn across the kitchen table. A working stack for each child. I’d fill out forms to the point where my handwriting degraded to almost not readable.
My last “baby” just graduated high school and is off to college in 2 weeks. I won’t need my clothespin word note clips for back to school organization this year 🙁
But I still need help in keeping organized 🙂
How crazy is it that I made these clothespin word note clips this year, thinking about back to school, and it’s the first time in twenty years that I won’t have back to school paperwork to fill out.
Wow, I kind of miss it now 🙂
Do you need clothespin word note clips to keep you organized for back to school…or just to keep you organized?

What a cute idea! These would be cute on a magnetic board, or in a command center as well to help keep things organized.

Hi Linda, A memo board of any sort would be darling with coordinated stamped clothespins! I have a DIY zinc memo board I made and use my clips with it. It’s cute! Thanks so much for your note and visit! 🙂

I use clothespins for everything BUT hanging clothes. When we went on a family reunion and had to take our own towels, I put my name on a clothespin so I would know which towel was mine.
I love these word note clips!

I’m using them so much more for lots of different purposes. The only time I actually use them as clothespins is for our towels on the boat:) Thank so much for sharing my projects!

Cute idea Wendi! The possibilities for these are endless. I’m thinking Christmas Mantle, Christmas Card Holder, Office Reminder board, and the list goes on. I’m old school and still hang my laundry outside so I’m thinking I could turn my clothesline into something fun…maybe even get a chuckle when I do the dreaded task 😉
Wendi says
Marie! Such good ideas…but I have to admit, my favorite is jazzing up the clothespins for your laundry! I can see it now, you chuckling to yourself reading little notes as you hang your laundry. Great mental picture my friend! Seriously, your lucky with a clothesline. I’ve been wanting one for the longest time!
Marie@The Interior Frugalista says
To be honest mine are nothing fancy, clothesline string attached to two trees. LOL They do the trick! I need to come up with some funny laundry related words. Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
Wendi says
Hmm, I don’t have trees yet, well a few lime trees and a non producing peach tree. I’m working on something just because I love how clothe smell when they’ve been outside:) I still want to see your clothespin laundry words!
