Instructions

    • 1

      Turn the slotted clothespin upside down. If desired, paint it brown.

    • 2

      Give the clothespin reindeer some eyes. Googly eyes work best for this, as they give the clothespin reindeer a little bit of character. Just put 2 small dabs of glue on the clothespin and gently place the googly eyes on the drops of glue.

    • 3

      Glue a nose on the clothespin reindeer. Take a small pom-pom and glue it on the clothespin. To make sure the pom-pom nose will say in place, hold it for a few seconds.

    • 4

      Decorate the clothespin reindeer's antlers with a bit of gold cord. Just tie it around the antlers and make a bow.

    • 5

      Make this reindeer into any type of functional or decorative item. One could make it a pin by gluing a safety pin to the back of it. One could also make it into a tree decoration by attaching a ribbon to the back. Finally, one could make the clothespin reindeer have legs by gluing another slotted clothespin to the back of the nose.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use a red pom-pom if making a Rudolph the red-nose reindeer clothespin.

  • A tacky type of glue will work best for this project.
