PAIR YOUR SUPERHERO PUPPETS WITH —> Popsicle Stick Superhero w/Handprint Cape – Kid Craft

Clothespin Superhero Craft Supplies:

Flat Wooden Clothespins – one per superhero puppet
Washable Craft Paint
Small Paint Brushes
Kid’s Craft Scissors
School Glue or Hot Glue Gun
Craft Paper or Felt
Small Wiggle Eyes – two per superhero puppet
Black Marker

Directions:

First you will want to paint your flat clothespins to give them the look of a superhero. Simply paint the clothespin for the “manly” tights.
Repeat for each clothespin superhero you want to make today.
Set aside to let them dry completely.
Next is the superhero’s cape. Grab your paper {or craft felt} and cut out a trapezoid shape to be placed on the back of your piece. At this point in time you should also cut out a small rectangle mask as well.
Repeat for each piece you are making.
Now go ahead and glue the pieces to the painted flat clothespin to complete your DIY superhero.
At this point in time you should also glue on the wiggle eyes and draw on a smile with the marker.
Once done, set aside to let it dry completely again.
When your pieces are dry it’s time to play! If desired – you can also add other embellishments to give them that one-of-a-kind customized look.

Make it your own! You can easily turn these into “superwomen” by adding some felt hair, some crown embellishments or even some glitter glue for a fun look! You can also decorate the cape cutouts for an awesome look!
