(Note: You can feel free to paint this with cool designs! Also, I would advise buying colored clothes pins or using spray paint!)
First: Get a small piece of wood. I found this in my dad's scrap pile. It's about 1 foot long and not very thick. Sand it if you need too. Now get out your clothes pins (I used 10 ) And arrange them on your wood where you would like them:
Now slide your wood out and paint it the color you choose using acrylic paints:
Now paint one side of all of your clothes pins in desired color:
Flip them and paint every where else (Yes... It is a pain! Definitely spray paint if you can!):
Now line them up on your piece of wood:
Get out your glue (I used Tacky glue because I never get things on straight the first time, and this doesn't dry immediately, so I could wiggle them and make them straight. Wow, run-on sentance!!):
Pick up your first clothes pin and dot some glue right under it:
Put it back on top of the glue:
Use another plain clothes pin to clamp it down:

Continue all the way down (I worked in from both sides):

So, I'm checking around your blog to see what ideas you've come up with, and I think this is awesome! I have a problem with storing my hair bands and this would be perfect. Plus, I just bought a bunch of clothespins! Sweet!
Great idea and just what I was looking for! Thanks!
Love it. Next time post an in use picture also. :)
