Clothespin Chic

Why is it that items larger or smaller than expected have so much appeal?  When I saw the oversized clothespins in the Oriental Trading Company catalog I knew I had to have them. 

I covered them with tissue paper and turned them into stylish little display easels.  They can be used in the kitchen to hold a recipe card or elsewhere to display pictures or other works of art.  The technique for the transformation is super simple and I've written a tutorial with more pictures.  Have fun creating your own.
