Instructions

  1. Disassemble all 40 clothespins.

  2. Using the Dremel tool, drill a small hole in each clothespin half about 1⁄2 inch from the tapered end.

  3. Thread the clothespin pieces onto the wire in the same direction until they form a circle.

  4. Once you have a full circle, wrap the ends of the wire together and twist until the clothespins are tight and secure.
