Instructions
Go on a nature walk around your neighborhood, park, trail, etc. and collect items small enough to be clipped in a clothespin.
Break them into small pieces and clip them into clothespins. If you want to ensure the items don’t fall out, then wrap a rubber band around the mouth of the clothespin to keep it pinched.
Set up paints in shallow and wide containers to allow for full dipping of the new brushes.
