Craft a Clothespin Cathedral Rocker

The finished rocker, painted green.

       For this Barbie sized (11") doll furniture craft, you will need to remove the springs from your wooden clothespins before assembling them into the design featured with hot glue.

        Make sure the clothespins are clean, free of any residue so that these will stick together easily with applied hand pressure. Once the pins are glued in the 'cathedral' shaped rocker, let the glued piece cure overnight. I understand that folks use hot glue because they believe that it hardens instantly but projects like this one actually need time to 'set up' before they become durable. Even the hot glue must be given time to cure; about 12 hours, prior to painting.

 Supply List:

• wooden clothespins (spring style)
• hot glue gun and hot glue
• acrylic paints (for surface, any color)
• clear acrylic sealer (spray can) to make the paint durable
