Craft Wire
Paper Straws
Washi Tape (optional)

1.Cut one 1” piece and one ½” piece from a paper straw. 
2.Cut two pieces of craft wire. Each piece of wire should be 6”-8” in length.
3.Thread one piece of craft wire through two holes on a 1” button and twist the ends of the wire to firmly attach the wire to the button.
4.Thread both ends of the same piece of craft wire through a paper straw and then through two holes on the second 1” button. Twist the wire around that second button to secure your second wheel. Trim any excess wire, and push the end of the wire back through the button hole. Cover wire with colored Washi tape if desired.
5. Repeat these steps with your ½” straw and two ½” buttons to make your second set of wheels.
6.Decorate your clothespin with paint or Washi tape.
7.Open up the mouth of your clothespin and set the smaller set of wheels inside so that the mouth grips the middle of the paper straw. Then slide the larger set of wheels into the back end of the clothespin.
8.Use hot glue to secure the back set of wheels if desired.
