Butterfly Clothespins

Decided to make Butterfly Clothespin embellishments for Easter projects ahead using the glittered butterflies I made from inspiration from Happy Bird's Glitter Nest on YouTube. Here are the finished butterflies after assembly:

I looked through my stash and decided on using the smaller clothespins for my butterflies - here is a photo of the smaller clothespin next  to a regular clothespin to show the size:

I did not want to paint the clothespins but I did want to put something on them. I decided to look through the washi stash and that was the solution. I covered each clothespin with ModPodge and put on the washi tape. I did this to both the front and back of the clothespins. Once they were dried I put a second coat of the ModPodge over the washi tape to seal it. When they were dry I used the Beacon 3 in 1 glue and put a gold or silver jewelry bail at the bottom of each butterfly to hold a charm once dried. 

I put the little charms on each bail and closed those. Then, using the Beacon 3 in 1 glue, I put the butterflies onto the washi tape and set those aside to dry. Here are the butterflies on the clothespins with their bails and charms added:

Being on the clothespins I will be able to clip them on the handle of a gift bag or use them as a bag topper for treats, etc. Happy I have these finished and ready for use. Also - FYI - one of the washi tapes I had in my stash (in photo the hot pink butterfly is on that clothespin) is not the normal shiny tape. It is a fabric adhesive washi tape and I used the ModPodge on that as well as the Beacon 3 in 1 glue and both worked well with no problems. I knew not to use hot glue as that does not work with washi but I knew the Beacon glues would work. Happy all butterflies are adhered and in place!
