A Pup for Pop

A Pup for Pop
Total Time Needed:
1 Hour

The next time Dad needs someone to fetch him a pencil, this desktop dog can deliver.

Materials
  • 4 pinch-style wooden clothespins
  • Wood glue
  • Felt
  • Googly eyes
  • Pom-pom
  • Markers
  • Pencil
X

Instructions
  1. To form the front end of the dog pinch open a clothespin and apply glue to the inner surface of the opened end. Then clamp the glued end onto a second clothespin, just behind the metal spring.

  2. For the dog's tail end, glue and clamp together the last two clothespins so that one holds the other wide open. When the glue is dry, fit the opened end of the back half onto the lower end of the front half. Apply glue to bond the two sections.

  3. From the felt, cut out floppy ears and circular paws. Then glue ears and paws, the googly eyes, and the pom-pom nose onto the dog.

  4. Add spots or other distinguishing details with colored markers. Finally, pinch open the dog's mouth and insert a pencil, balancing its weight equally on both sides.
