"My name is Courtney Hester on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip we're going to be making some buggy chip clips. The first thing we want to do is paint our clothespins and you can paint them any color you'd like. I'm going to paint them blue, you wait and you do this all the way across the top and on the sides and then you'll want to set them aside for just a few minutes. Now that they've let our clothespin dry, I'm ready to add a decoration to this. I'm going to add a dragonfly, this is a little prepainted wood piece I picked up at the craft store. We're going to add this piece to the handle end of our clothespin, so I'm going to add a dot of glue and then I'm going to press down like that and then we'll want to let that dry a minute. I want to make a set of these, so I've also painted two different, two more clothespins and picked up some more insects or bug type wood pieces to add to them. Now I have my set of buggy chip clips. Once they've dried, we can use them to hold chip, bags or any other kind of bags closed."
