Step 1
Disassemble all 40 clothespins.
Step 2
Using the Dremel tool, drill a small hole in each clothespin half about 1⁄2 inch from the tapered end.
Step 3
Thread the clothespin pieces onto the wire in the same direction until they form a circle.
Step 4
Once you have a full circle, wrap the ends of the wire together and twist until the clothespins are tight and secure.
