Materials

Blue's Clues Art Clips Printable
Craft glue
Scissors
Wooden clothespins
Ribbons
Pushpins (optional)
Magnetic tape (optional)

Tip: For a miniature version of this craft, use miniature clothespins, available at crafts supply stores.

Directions

Step 1: Print and cut out the shapes
Cut out all the shapes from the Blue's Clues Art Clips printable. (Print on card stock or laminate the paper cut-outs for longer durability.)
Step 2: Make the art clips
Glue one shape to one side of a clothespin. Make as many art clips as you need.
Step 3: Display the artwork
Find a place around the house where you want to hang the artwork. Secure a ribbon between two spots by tying either end of the ribbon to a steady object. Or use pushpins to secure the ribbon on a flat surface. Hang the clips on the ribbon and let Blue and her friends grip the artwork for you!
Craft Variation: Blue's Clues Art Magnets
Affix a piece of magnetic tape to the other side of the finished art clips. Place the magnetic art clips on a refrigerator or a display board, and Blue and her pals will be in position to present your little ones' artwork!

Tip: When hanging, keep the line taut. This will prevent the artwork from weighing it down.
