Clothes Pin Heart

While out blog hopping :) I saw this adorable clothes pin heart
(BUT I can't remember the blog I saw it on to link back,
so if any of you Awesome followers know please,
please send me the link so I can link back to her.)
Thanks

EDIT : I'm so excited , guess who found me :) Jenn from Clean and Scentsible, the original creator of the Clothes Pin Wreath. YEA ! ! !

Now onto the Craft

I started out by spacing out and clipping clothes
pins to a firm piece of paper.

Next I cut out different strips of scrapbook paper,
I made each strip a little longer than the clothes pin so I had
something to hold onto while I mod podge the paper to the pin
Isn't Modge Podge the best ? ?
The white paper on left looks a little bumpy because
I hadn't scraped the extra modge pod off yet :)

All my pins drying . . .
Notice the extra paper hanging off the pins . . .

When they were done drying I flipped them over and
used a razor blade to cut them off.

Next, I had the Man of the House bend my hanger into a heart . . .
my attempts kept coming out looking like a kidney :)

My heart and pins ready to go . . .

After a while clipping on and moving around until the pattern looked
perfect, I put just a little dab of hot glue to secure them to the hanger.

    That is SO stinkin cute Kristie!
    You should glue shades of green paper on the other side of the clothes pins and you'll be all set for St. Paddy's day. I love it!!

    LOVE this...so cute and easy. At first, I thought the pins were painted, until you said you used scrap paper (even better). I'm bookmarking this so I can copy you later LOL!

    I just do not understand what the purpose of the scrap paper is if your just hot gluing the pins to the hanger. I am trying so hard to figure it out, so I can do this project with my daughter
