Instructions for this Sparkly Clothespin Dragonfly Craft
1. Begin by painting your wooden clothespins with your turquoise or red paint. Set them aside to dry. When the paint is dry, use a sponge brush to paint the top of the clothespin with either Elmer’s School Glue or Modge Podge. Then shake glitter on top of the glue. Let the glue dry completely.
2. Heat up your hot glue gun. Glue your two small black pony beads onto the sides of the clothespin for dragonfly eyes.
3. Cut a piece of your glitter tulle off of the role about 6 1/2-inches long. Fold the tulle in half and then in half again. Scrunch the middle of the tulle piece together a bit. Open the clothespin, place some hot glue on the inside, place the tulle on it and then close the clothespin onto the tulle.
4. Use scissors to cut a round shape around the bottom of the wings so they look more like the shape of dragonfly wings.
