Primitive Santa Clothespins Tutorial!!!

All this week I have been painting the small ornaments for the trees that I sell for the Holidays.

Today I was painting my primitive Santa clothspins.  I used the old fashion type clothespins for this project. I base coated them russet and painted a Santa face and beard. The fur on the brim of his hat I used a little Deco Art Snow Tex and sprinkled some glitter on top of that. Let it all dry and than spray with a matte sealer. I attached tiny little rusty bells on wire and wound it around the top of the clothespin and made a small loop in the back for hanging. This makes a great little prim ornament for the Holidays. Thanks for stopping by to look and Happy Painting!!!!!!
