Here are the finished ornaments for the swap. Hubby made the little candy ribbon ones, the dolls are mine.

More in progress. I wound up with 5 sets of 7 rainbows, 35 total.
Sad... It turns out we only have 13 people in the ornament exchange... Do you think I could get away with giving them 3?

These Korean clothes pin dolls were only the start. I wound up buying more clothespins.

120 more clothespins.

There are 35 Korean clothespin dolls, 40 dolls with 1920's hair and faces, a bunch of wild and crazy dolls from the 1960s, and there are still more pins! pant, pant

I sort of got carried away.

Clothespin ornament dolls
Wooden non-spring clothes pins - I found them at the dollar store, 20/ $1
Permanent markers
Color shirt; add face; color in hair. Outline lapel, buttons, and placket; fill in pants.
I'm now in the process of adding gold clothing accents.

I thought I'd made up these dolls, and then I found instructions on the web. It turns out they're called a traditional Japanese doll called Kokeshi dolls.
