Oversized Clothespin Photo Display



Materials:
*Oversized clothespin
*Stickers, die cuts, or other embellishments
*Patterned paper
*Thin cardboard (e.g. cereal box)
*Photo
*Mounting tape (or other photo mounting adhesive)
*All purpose adhesive

Directions:
*Choose a photo that you would like to display, then select paper, stickers, etc., that you feel represent the important aspects of your photo or the event it represents.  For example, my picture was taken on a trip to Rockland, wherein I did some genealogical research and visited a lighthouse museum.  I chose a lighthouse die cut for the museum, vital record paper for the genealogy, a map sticker because our GPS stopped working as we were heading home and I insisted that we buy a map, and a lobster sticker because of our lobster magnet souvenirs and because we took out picture in front of a giant lobster.
*Decorate the clothespin as you see fit.
*Cut the paper so that it is slightly larger than your photo.  Cut out a piece of cardboard the same size and adhere the paper to the cardboard.
*Mount your photo on the paper.  Add stickers or other embellishments, then clip inside the clothespin.
