Make Do Sunday Clothes Pin Holder

It bugs me when I forget

the pins and find this
Or this.
I used to use a gallon milk jug with a slit in the handle
and the center cut out for the pins.
Even with a few holes in the bottom,
it still held water if I forgot it outside in the rain.
(yes I know, bring it in each time!)
After slicing my hand on the edge a few times
it went in the recycle bin.

Years ago (just a few)
my Mom had a hanging bag made from a hanger,
bent in a loop with a bag sewn
over the wire
I thought this would be a bit more eye catching
so I wouldn't forget it out side!
A quick 2 minute project
I re purposed one of Isaiah's outgrown shirts, this happens to be a size 3
(but I would think 24 months & up would work,
what ever would meet your needs)


I stitched the bottom closed
It has split sides so I just stitched above that


Placed it on a sturdy child size hanger
and tacked at the shoulders
over the hanger to hold it on
(you can see my threads hanging)

I did not stitch the front placket closed
so I would have easier access as the
pins were used

button up & load with pins!

This size holds approximately 200 pins quite easily

I'm sure Martha would not approve

but it works for me!

If you try it, make sure you link back so I can see how yours turned out!
