I LOVE them! Most importantly, Reed loves them!
Wanna learn how to make your own? Ok!
Here’s what you need:
Take apart your clothespin and set the spring aside. Paint the clothespin and crafting sticks (in colors of your choosing). I used little wooden beads for the front of the propeller.
Hint: A wooden kabob skewer works great for holding these while painting!
Once everything has dried, reassemble your clothespin. Use your hot glue gun to glue the wings, propeller and rudder.
I ended up using these to hold little thank yous in the favor bag.
{Stay tuned tomorrow to see the whole party!}
Happy birthday to my amazing little fireball! You are the light of my life and I love you, Reed!
Linking up to these fabulous parties!

So cute–my son would love these–and I even have all the supplies to make them today!
Thanks Steph! They were a big hit!!
They are so cute! What a great idea to use them to hold little thank yous!

Come {link} party with the Wildly Original Crowd.
These are awesome! I think this is something I can have my husband do with the boys. LOVE IT! Following you on rss now!
Thanks so much, Danielle!
This is such a great idea. My 2 1/2 yr old is OBSESSED with airplanes right now… especially the kind that has a “propeller on it!” I think I will try to make these with him tomorrow as we will both be home all day. He can paint the pieces while I will assemble. I think I’ll have to experiment with finding a small screw to attach the propeller as I know Eli will just have to spin it! Wish me luck with making that work! Thank you so much for this idea!
What a cute idea this is! My husband loves old planes–I bet he would get a kick out of these if I used them to decorate a place setting
Oh my goodness, I *LOVE* these. Have pinned this post. (Dropping by from the Happy Hour link party).
A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I believe that
you ought to write more about this topic, it may not be a taboo subject but typically people don’t talk about these issues. To the next! Best wishes!!
These are so great! They are the perfect craft for kids…I think even my 13 year old son *might* make one…he’d try to add a motor to it, too, but still
I’d love it if you’d stop by and share it at my linky party: http://www.twokidscooking.com/2012/11/sunday-show-and-tell-week-9/
Hope you stop by and share!

These are so smart and CUTE! My little group of kids would have a blast making these too. Thanks for the fun idea!

Your link-up over at TT&J caught me eye! What a wonderful project. Love the colors too! Pinning!
