These flat clothespin ballerina puppets are the perfect craft idea for kids! They’re easy to make and so much fun to play with.

Craft Supplies:

  • Flat Wooden Clothespins
  • Paint Pens
  • Cardstock Paper
  • Glitter Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • School Glue

Directions:

  • First grab ONE wooden clothespin per ballerina puppet.
  • Grab the paint pens and draw on a face, hair and dress portion on the clothespin. I also painted on some shoes towards the bottom to complete my dancer look.
  • When done painting, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now grab your various sheets of cardstock paper and scissors.
  • Go ahead and cut out a simple skirt for each piece you are making.
  • Go ahead and now glue those pieces to the your painted clothespin piece.
  • At this point, you can also add even more embellishments {like scrapbook crown stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that you see fit to really make it their own ballerina look. Remember – you can also add some long yarn or cardstock hair to the back of your pieces too!
  • Once your Clothespin Wood Dancer look how you like, let them dry completely and display/play with proudly afterwards!
