Clothespin Airplanes

Materials

• 1 clothespin

• 2 regular sized craft sticks

• 2 mini craft sticks

• 1 button

• Silver paint pen (optional)

• Paint

• Glue

Directions

1. Carefully remove the metal spring from the clothespins

2.  Paint each of the clothespins, then set them out to dry

3. Once the paint is dry, try to get the spring back onto the clothespins

4.  Glue two regular popsicle sticks to the top and bottom of the clothespin to make the plane’s wings. Then glue one mini clothespin to the top/back of the clothespin for the plane’s tail. Try not to get glue right on top of the clothespin spring, otherwise the clothespin won’t open.

5. Then attach another mini popsicle stick onto the glue, on a bit of an angle to make the propeller.

6. Glue the button to the middle of the propeller

7. Optional: Use your silver paint pen to decorate
