Children love crafts that are simple, turn out well and can serve as a suitable gift for Mom – this craft is all of that.
To make this you will need: a tuna fish can (I used a 5 ounce size), clothespins, construction paper and a small plant or flower arrangement.
Clip clothespins all the way around the rim of the can.
Place your plant inside – I used wheat grass that I grew myself in a wax paper cup.
Cut hearts from construction paper and tuck in between clothespins.
These would also be great as a simple Spring centerpiece.
You can also drop a glass votive and tea light inside and use these as an interesting candle holder too.
How nice! Also I was little I used the clips to the school to make some small gift for my mom! This your idea is very nice, you think getting a useful item for recycling and cute, good! I’ll take an example and I will do something similar, maybe rearrange a little ‘with felt or another!
Thanks!

I just found your blog, and I love it! This is such a great idea — I love making things with found objects, but they can often look junky. Not this one! Very cute and rustic.
Um! LOVE this idea! Super for preschoolers to do. I think I will have mine paint the clothes pins to add some color! But for me…I’ll take it plain thank you!
Thanks for sharing!
i love it.
This is a wonderful project. What a neat idea!

Thanks Heather! I really appreciate it! Take Care, Camilla
These are ridiculously beautiful! Finding your post (via Heather!) put the first smile of the day on my face. I’m lucky enough to have a basket full of wooden clothespins and, to put my own twist on things, a can of white spray paint.
Gotta grow me some grass now, I suppose!
lovely and simple! Thank you!
What a cute and great idea………have a grandson that we could make this together for his mom for Mothers Day………I subscribed to your site……..
Lisa – that sounds great – it would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift! Thanks for commenting – take care, Camilla
Michaels has some really cute decorated clothes pins in their dollar section. They’re 4 for a dollar. They are pink and mint green floral. Wouldn’t those be adorable??!!

This is the cutest craft project ever! I absolutely love using clothes pins to create. Thank you for sharing.
I’m going to have my grandkids do this but I’m going to have them paint the clothes pins each one a different color..
