Step 3: Get your clothespin and apply two small drops of glue on each end. Then apply one of your 3″ x 1″ rectangles and one of your 2″ x 1″ rectangles onto the glue.
Flip over and repeat. Make sure that you put the same length rectangles on the same ends of the clothespin.
Leave to dry for a few minutes.
