Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Paint the paint stir stick whatever color you want. Paint the 3 clothespins a matching color if you like. Once the paint is dry, glue the 3 clothespins onto the stir stick. Make sure they are evenly spaced across the width of the stick.

With paint, or permanent marker, personalize your project. Jackie wrote "Look what (child's name) made" evenly spaced across the stick. Attach the magnet strip to the back of the paint stir stick. Now you can display art work or school papers on the fridge.
