Supplies:

* Wooden Clothespins
* Popsicle Sticks
* Large Skull Paper Punch
* Glue
* Colorful Cardstock
optional – paint, glitter glue, rhinestones etc.

Directions:

* First assemble the base of your pirate ship by pinching the popsicle stick in between the clothespin. Repeat for each pirate ship you want to make. At this time you can also paint the two for a customized look!
* To finish off the Clothespin Pirate Ships craft, have children cut/glue a cardstock flag to the popsicle stick. Then add other embellishments {like the skull design we did} before playing and/or displaying proudly!!!
