doubles as a momento holder. Display postcards,
photos and notes! The base is made from sturdy
foam board covered in fabric. The pins were
painted with acrylic paint before they were glued

Organization isn’t always pretty—but thanks to old-fashioned style clothespins, we made messy ribbon
and trims display worthy! Simply wrap scraps around pins and toss into glass jars. And for flyaway
notes? Paint a jumbo clip with acrylic paint and add a decorative stamp. Voilà!
