This is a SUPER EASY Christmas ornament craft to make this season! All you need are wooden clothespins that you can find at almost any dollar store.

Makes a great project to do with your kids too- my son loved making these with me this year, and I honestly think that with the plain wood they look very nice against the dark green branches of the Christmas tree. I made mine extra festive by adding some gold glitter.

*Package of Wooden Clothespins - 8 clothespins per ornament

*Elmers Glue

*Hot Glue Gun and glue sticks

*Glitter- optional

Grab one clothespin and start removing the metal spring. Taking one of the sides of the clothespin, twist off in a clockwise motion and the spring will be revealed and easy to remove from middle.

Once the spring is removed, glue with Elmers or wood glue, the flat sides together, leaving the curvy sides facing outwards. 

When you have glued your two clothespin sides together, it should look like this. Make sure you carefully line up the pieces so they make a square hole when placed correctly.

Your 8 clothespins should look like this when they are all glued together.

Start warming up your glue gun and get ready to join your pieces into a beautiful snowflake arrangement!

Once your hot glue gun is hot enough, glue 4 of your pieces together into a cross formation. 

Once you have your 4 pieces glued into a cross shape, take the remaining 4 pieces and get ready to glue them diagonally in the 90 degree spaces of your cross.

When they are glued properly, your ornament should look like this!
