Who this list is for
This clothespin airplane craft is for children building decorative wooden airplanes for a maker table or classroom display. The finished planes are for pretend play and display, not for flying outdoors.
How to use this list
Use wooden spring clothespins as the airplane body, then arrange jumbo wooden craft sticks and mini wooden craft sticks as wings and tail pieces. Paint parts with washable acrylic paint using paper plates as palettes. Once paint is dry, attach pieces with washable tacky glue and add foam stickers or fine-tip black marker details. Make cardstock flight tags, punch them, and tie them on with baker's twine.
Common mistakes
Do not glue wooden parts while paint is still wet. Avoid using an oversized amount of tacky glue, which can slide the craft sticks out of place. Keep the planes on the maker table while they dry rather than treating them as outdoor flying toys.
What is on this list
Gather wooden spring clothespins, jumbo wooden craft sticks, mini wooden craft sticks, washable acrylic paint, paintbrushes, and washable tacky glue. Foam stickers, fine-tip black markers, cardstock flight tags, a hole punch, baker's twine, and paper plates for paint palettes provide finishing details. Cross off supplies already available.
When you are done
Set each airplane flat until the tacky glue is dry. Check that wings and tails are firmly attached before adding a flight tag. Wash paintbrushes and discard or save paper plate palettes as appropriate.
