Clothes pegs are so great when it comes to crafting. You can make pretty much anything with them. So many ideas! My son is mad about planes and has been following in his mamas footsteps in the crafting world. He asked me to post his clothes peg airplanes to my blog so that other kids can make them. 😍

For these airplanes you don’t need many craft items. You do need hot glue for this one however, so adult supervision is highly recommended for this craft. We made 2 airplanes so have put double of everything in the picture. This is what we used;

  • Hot Glue
  • Clothes pegs
  • Craft Sticks
  • Markers
  • Small wooden circle (optional) This just gave us a finishing touch but you don’t need it!
We made two to show you so that’s why there is double of craft material
Turn your peg to the side to attach your first wing
Take your peg and apply hot glue to one side along where the metal clip is
Stick one of your craft sticks to the glue
Flip your peg over and stick glue on the other side attaching another craft stick
You should have something that resembles airplanes wings
Take another craft stick and cut it in half. This also will need some supervision as the sticks are tough to cut
It doesn’t have to be straight
Also cut one end off so you have a curved section
Stick the larger part of the stick underneath one side of the top end of the peg
Then stick the curved part on the top standing it up
Your peg should start coming together to look like a plane!

Decorating Your Planes

You can then go to town decorating your plane using markers. You don’t have to use permanent markers if you have little ones (they are very difficult to remove from furnishings and skin!) child friendly markers will work just as well.

We also added a small wooden circle to the front of the plane to create a propeller. My son’s idea 🙂 This is optional but it does give the plane a cool finishing touch.

Cute little wooden clothes peg airplanes that are durable for play time!

*You can also cover your plane in coloured masking tape which my son has done before or even add stickers for fun effect. These planes are so simple to make and will create hours of fun for play time too.
