Car Visor Clip
Help your dad, grandpa or father figure keep his car organized.
Materials
- Clothespin—spring type
- Library pocket or small, sturdy mailing envelope
- Paint—various colors
- Cotton swabs or thin paint brushes
- Glue
- Non Toxic permanent marker
Before Beginning
- Prepare the frame cards by folding the card stock in half to create 8½” x 5½” cards. Cut a 3½” x 3½” square or circle in the center of the front of the card.
- Select your favorite photo with your dad, grandpa or father figure to use!
Instructions
- Paint the clothespin and library pocket using the cotton swabs or thin paint brushes.
- After the paint dries, glue the library pocket to one side of the clothespin.
- Use the permanent market to personalize the clip by writing a title on the library pocket, such as “Dad’s Car Clip”.
- Include a note with the gift suggesting that the recipient clip it to the car visor and use the pocket for parking stubs or other receipts.
Helpful Hints
- The library pocket will last longer if it is laminated or covered with clear contact paper before attaching it to the clothespin.
- Glue does not adhere to laminate well, so use self-adhesive Velcro to attach the pocket to the clothespin.
