Step 1

Insert one of the twist ties into a hole in one of the buttons.

Step 2

Thread about an inch or so of the twist tie through a second hole and back through the other side of the button.

Step 3

Twist the two pieces at the back of the button together tightly.

Step 4

Thread one of the straw pieces onto the twist tie.

Step 5

Thread the open end of the twist tie through the second button, then thread it back through the second hole and twist together like you did in step 3.

Step 6

Repeat steps 1-5 for the second pair of buttons.

Step 7

Open the clothespin and place the straw from one set of wheels in the hole of the clothespin opening. Close the clothespin. The clothespin should not flatten the straw; the twist tie should be able to turn freely inside the straw.

Step 8

Add a dab of white glue to the back of the clothespin near the spring.

Step 9

Insert the second set of wheels into the handle end of the clothespin and push it toward the spring into the glue.
