Get into the Halloween spirit with these easy to craft DIY Halloween Monster Clips. You only need a few basic craft supplies, and it is the perfect craft for your little ghouls and boys to enjoy! Here is how you can get started making your own.
Supplies needed:
Wooden clothespins
Orange, green, purple craft paint
Paint brush
Googly eyes – Assorted sizes
Craft glue
Black marker
1. Begin by painting the clips a solid color. We love the colors orange, green, and purple for this project.
2. Once your paint is dry, it is time to apply the googly eyes. Add some glue and press them into place. Get as creative as you wish when applying these eyes. You can do one, two, or multiple eyes if you wish.
3. Use the black marker to add accents. Some ideas of accents would be a face, hair, stitch marks, mouths, etc. Again, you are only limited by your creativity.
Your Halloween monster clips are now ready to be enjoyed. Use them to clip up artwork or you can even add magnets to the back so you have fridge clips. However you decide to use them, you will find they are fun and functional! Give them a try.

I like to use clothespins to keep bags of chips, pretzels, etc closed. These would be such a cute and fun way to keep the munchies crunchy.

I’m dropping by from the link party at Sugar Bee. This is such a fun, fun idea!! It’s my kind of activity — easy and inexpensive.
I have link party that I am trying to grow. It’s Grandma Ideas Sharing Time at http://grandmaideas.com. I would love it if you would participate in my link party and share this idea (and a couple of other ones) with my readers. It is the perfect thing that my readers enjoy — something easy, inexpensive, and dang cute!
My link party goes from Wednesday at 1:00 a.m. through Friday night at midnight. I hope that you’ll take a moment to share.
All the best,
Nina

What a great idea. Instead of using boring old clothes pins for closing my bags of chips, I can now have colorful ones. My favorite one is the Frankenstein one.

These are so cute, I bet the children would love making these, we could use them to hold our pages open
