Fabric Covered DIY Clothespin Magnets

Craft Basics· Fabric Crafts· Home Decor

As long as I can remember, I’ve loved magnets and magnet boards. Push pins and cork boards were always driving me crazy because the pins would fall out. I loved having a locker in high school because I could use magnets to hold up lists and pictures. Now I use my fridge to contain all my different magnets. It sometimes drives my husband crazy, but I don’t care :). One of my favorite hacks are adding strong magnets to clothespins. Clothespins can be painted or decorated in so many ways to make them unique and fun. These fabric covered DIY clothespin magnets for fridge or lockers are great because they’re functional and pretty. Today I’m going to show you how to add some scrap fabric to a clothespin to add personality and color.

Supplies needed to make your own DIY clothespin magnets: 

  • Clothespins (I used big 6 inch Clothes Pins and regular size ones)
  • Mod Podge
  • Strong Magnets (I used these ones and these ones)
  • Scrap Fabric
  • Rotary Cutter or Fabric Scissors
  • E-6000 Adhesive

After, cut your fabric pieces using the templates or measurements. Fabric covered clothespins with magnets tutorial Fabric covered clothespins with magnets tutorialNext, apply a thick layer of mod podge to your clothespins. Then apply your fabric onto the mod podge.

    With our supplies on hand, we can get started! We will be essentially making a fabric button in the conventional method, the main difference is you will attach a plain back and glue on a magnet. See? So easy!
