daisy dukes clothespin bag

If you can sew a seam, you can make a dandy clothespin bag in practically no time at all!

Materials:
Old jeans [child's size 10 works well]
Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
Pins
Needle and thread or sewing machine
Ribbon, approximately 1 yard [optional]
Small piece of ribbon or string, approximately 8", for each back belt loop used
Hanger, wooden or plastic

.Steps:
[1] Cut across legs about 2" below crotch.
[2] Pin fronts of legs to back and sew across legs at crotch line. This makes a hem so your clothespins won't fall out.
[3] If you want, thread a colorful ribbon through the belt loops and tie a knot in each end. 
[4] Thread a short piece of ribbon through the back belt loop and tie it around the "neck" of the hanger.
[5] If you're using a wooden hanger like ours, poke the ends through the other back belt loops. If you're using a plastic hanger, use short ribbons to tie the hanger to the back belt loops.
[6] [Optional] Wash and dry your clothespin bag, then trim the strings off the legs to give it a true "Daisy" look.
[7] Fill with clothespins and hang out your laundry. Leave the zipper down a bit so you can reach your clothespins.
[8] Be sure to bring your clothespin bag inside so the sun doesn't fade it, birds don't nest in it, and rain doesn't ruin your clothespins. ​
