How to Make Antiqued Clothespins
Recently I did a post about my Crib Spring Memo Board.
and dumped them into a solution of white vinegar and a steel wool pad...
Note: it has to be an old SOS pad that rusts.
And hellooooo... they look sooo much better now!
Of course I had to go back and antique every clothespin in the house!
I had so many wonderful comments but I kept thinking about one comment every time I walked past the crib spring.
Heather said I should stain or paint my clothespins.

Well Heather... you were right! Thank you for your inspirational comment.
This post is for you!

I actually have a steel wool ball in the bottom of this jar and I just keep refilling it.
I left the clothespins in the solution for about 1 minute.
Then dumped the clothespins onto a paper towel to dry.
And hellooooo... they look sooo much better now!
All distressed, antiqued and beautiful!
Of course I had to go back and antique every clothespin in the house!
Thank you Heather!
You inspired me today!
