DIY Colorful Clothespin Airplane Craft

DIY Colorful Clothespin Airplane Craft

Want to try your hand at creating a colorful clothespin airplane craft with your little ones? These painted airplanes let’s them get as creative as they want!

This project was such a fun one to do because once we assembled all the airplanes, we could play with them together after! These kinds of kids crafts are always my favorite.

DIY Colorful Clothespin Airplane Craft

Step 1 – Paint Popsicle Sticks

Since I was able to find the multicolored clothespins all I needed to paint was the popsicle sticks and wooden beads!  Two coats were all I needed, letting each coat dry 5 minutes.

I made sure to pick out some bright colors for this project.  The Americana Satin paint was great to use, it gave the planes a little shine.
