Clothespin Airplanes

/

My boys love anything they can throw around. If it can fly, well, that is even better! We made these clothespin airplanes with a few supplies from the craft store.

Supplies Needed

  • 1 Clothespin

  • 1 Wooden Bead

  • 2 Wooden Popsicle Sticks

  • 2 Mini Craft Sticks

  • Markers or Paints/Brushes

  • Glue or Hot Glue Gun

  • Washi Tape

Instructions

Color the clothespin and sticks with markers or paint. You can also use washi tape to decorate as well.

Place a dot of glue in the middle of the 2 large craft sticks and the sticks on the top and the bottom of the clothespin. This creates the wings of the plane.

After the wings are dry, glue a mini craft stick on the back for the tail. Then, glue the wooden bead onto the middle of another mini craft stick for the propeller and let it dry.

Hold the plane up and glue the propeller on the top opening of the clothespin. You may have to hold it in place until it dries.
