REMEMBER THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS WORK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE THINGS THAT CAN BE HARMFUL, LIKE SCISSORS, SO DON'T EVER ATTEMPT TO MAKE THESE CRAFT PROJECTS ALONE.

Pick some or your favorite colors to paint the yardstick and the clothes pins with. You can create a design on these pieces to match the theme of your room.
Paint the yardstick white to hide all the numbers and lines. Set it aside to dry for about 15 minutes.
Paint your base coat. Set it aside for another 15 minutes.
Paint on your design. When you’re done painting, set aside to dry.
Paint your clothes pins. You can attach it to a stick to make it easier. paint on a white base coat, let dry, and then go back and paint your base coat.
Paint your design on your clothespins. Set aside to dry.
Glue your animals to some plain clothespins. Let dry. Clip on your favorite postcards, photographs and notes. Have an adult helper attach your bar to the wall, by putting a nail through the hole in the yardstick.
