RE: Painted Clothes Pins
I paint EVERYTHING that can't run away from me! I love color so I painted ALL my clothespins different polka dots and covered them with clear nail polish. They've survived dozens of Pennsylvania Winters, and look great on my clothesline!

Put some indoor/outdoor varnish on them.

What about clear nail polish?

RE: Painted Clothes Pins
Acrylic paint won't rub off onto your clothes once it is dry. Do one and prove it to yourself.

RE: Painted Clothes Pins
I do not paint the inside of my clothes pins. For the outside, I paint an acrylic/waterproof finish. I found the paint at Walmart. Haven't had any problem with clothes being stained.

RE: Painted Clothes Pins
I would just paint the outside of the wood pin, not the part that touches the clothing, clear acrylic spray paint can coat the pins for weather resisitance. BTW what are you painting on the pins..sounds kind of cool...might try it for a decoration in the laundry room :) small clothes pins (doll size) on a line with baby/doll clothes. Great window valance idea!

Why not just look for different colored plastic clothespins, if the color of them is so important. To me that would be a lot easier. Painting each clothespin, then coating it with some kind of sealer hardly seems worth the effort!! On the other hand, painted clothespins sound kind of cool. If you do it, I bet you'll have the most unique clothespins anywhere!

RE: Painted Clothes Pins
Just curious, why are you painting them?
