Use Clothespins to Make DIY Unusual Paintbrushes for Kids This homemade paintbrush idea for kids is fun and versatile. Best of all, it teaches kids that they can be as creative with their tools as they can with their canvas. Katie Femia suggests making your own paintbrushes by decorating clothespins, and then using those clothespins to hold unusual, but brush-like, household objects. Try an artificial leaf or a pipe cleaner bent to any shape. Experiment with the way each brush head lends itself to different techniques. You can literally try anything, and you can even re-use the handles. See the full tutorial at Premeditated Leftovers. Posted by → December 16, 2014 at 6:50 AM under News and Events
