Clothespin Airplanes {Party Favors}

Reed just turned three over the weekend!  {tear}  Where does the time go?
 
Ever since we went on the “hairplane with PaPa” this summer {yes, that’s how he pronounces it}, Reed has been talking about an airplane themed party.  I scoured Pinterest for ideas and saw these adorable clothespin airplanes from Oriental Trading and thought they would be perfect for party favors.  But they didn’t have them in the colors I wanted so I decided to improvise.  
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!
