Lucky Cricket Craft

By , About.com Guide

Pamela Pomroy shares instructions to make a lucky cricket craft.

Materials Needed:

  • Brown paint
  • Clothespin
  • Wiggle eyes
  • Chenille stem
  • Glue (hot glue works best but elmer's will do)
Instructions:
Paint clothespin brown (you may want to do this ahead of time as it can take a day for it to dry). Glue eyes on to corners of clothespin (the part that would actually clamp the clothing). Near the eye area, when clothespin is closed, there is a small circle; slide the chenille stem through and bend upwards so you can twist a few times and fasten as the the antennae. Use glue to fill in hole where antennae is on both sides ( this helps prevent it from falling out).
