DIY Clothespins Labels

June 15, 2011

I can’t wait to do this. Best thing about it is flexibility, if you wanna use the box for something else, simply change the tag and clip on something else! Check out the clothespins that I just bought from Ace Hardware Pasaraya for a staggering Rp 21,800 (about 2.50 USD).

Glue gun check! Cream board paper check! Oh… wait… I don’t have the baskets yet! Argh….

Sigh. I will just have to keep you posted. As you know I don’t impulse-buy. I plot, plan, budget and make sure that it fits with everything I have, will last, not allergic to it… etc. etc. You get my drift… it might be a while till I get those baskets…but it’s going to happen!

I am just so excited by all the super cool and cute ideas I’m getting from PINTEREST! Yup, I got this cool idea from someone else’s board on PINTEREST. =) I can’t wait to be complete well so I can do SO many projects I’ve already lined up on my DIPLO DIY board! =P (i.e. I wanna do a DIY photowall)

Please check out my PINTEREST inspiration and idea boards by clicking here! Feel free to follow. =)

And do drop me a line to let me know what you think of Pinterest! Questions are welcome too!

P.S. Don’t you think this project would be better if the cards were laminated for longer use? I think I may have to get myself one… Got the idea from The Happiness Project book.
