PAIR YOUR BEE PUPPETS WITH —> Wooden Spoon Bee

THE HOW-TO AND SUPPLIES:

For this clothespin bee craft, all you need is wooden clothespins, small yellow/black buttons and some thick tacky glue to make it happen!

Simply glue your yellow/black buttons on one side of the wooden clothespin and top off with a cardstock head/wings & wiggle eyes for him to see. Repeat for each one you want to create. So simple yet so awesome to accomplish!

You can also hot glue some heavy magnets to the back for displaying on the fridge OR “pinch them” to gifts for an adorable gift tag. The possibilities are endless on this one and I hope we inspired YOU!
