Celebrate Fourth of July with these patriotic clothespin stars. Use them separately as decorations or string them together to form a banner. Let your imagination guide you.

These are the supplies you’ll need:

Pinch type clothespins—five for each star
Liquid craft glue
Hot glue
Red, white, and blue acrylic paints
Red, white, and blue cardstock
Red, white, and blue buttons
Twine or very narrow ribbon
Circle templates

Let’s make clothespin stars:

Disassemble the clothespins.
Glue the ends of the clothespin halves together to form the points of the star.
Arrange the points in a star shape, and glue together as shown below.
Paint the stars. Set aside to dry.
Use twine or narrow ribbon to tie a bow on a button.
Trace the circle templates onto cardstock and cut out.
Glue a button from Step 5 onto a cardstock circle.
Glue the button embellishment to the center of one of the stars.
Tie twine or fish line to one of the star points for hanging.
Have fun decorating for Fourth of July celebrations.
