Clothespin bug

Bug Clothespin:

Regular size clothespin,
3 med. size pom poms,
ribbon for bow,
moveable eyes,
tiny black pom pom(nose),
black or brown pipecleaners..

Take pipe cleaner and measure 3 legs and cut, measure length by however
long you will need it to fold over clothes pin and curve slightly up
on ends, this will be the legs of the bug.
Glue these on first to the clothes pin spread out evenly along pin.
Glue pom poms on next.
Large or med. size works best.

After you have your pompoms arranged on pin, glue eyes to first one
and nose for head, this will be the opposite end from where you pinch
clothespin together. Add antennas between first pom pom and second.
Use a piece of pipe cleaner folded and at each end curled
to look like bug antennas. Add bow to head in front of antenna.
