Be ready to celebrate patriotic holidays with this cute and easy to make clothespin Uncle Sam.
Gather these supplies:
- One pinch clothespin
- One popsicle (craft) stick
- 12″ white yarn
- Black, red, and blue markers
- Craft glue or double-sided adhesive
Let’s make Clothespin Uncle Sam:
- Cut the yarn into three 4″ lengths, and knot together in the center.
- Trim the yarn ends so the piece measures about 2 inches across. Unravel and fluff the yarn ends. Set aside for the time being.
- Trim a popsicle stick as shown to get a piece about 1 inch long.
- Using the markers color the hat, pants, and face on the clothespin, and the hat brim made from the popsicle stick.
- Let’s assemble Uncle Sam. First, glue the hat brim in place.
- Now, glue his beard in place.
- Great!! Now you’re ready to celebrate!!
