"My name is Courtney Hester on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip we're going to be making a reindeer pin using clothespins. We're going to take a flat slotted clothespin and we're going to turn it upside down. You can paint this brown or leave it the wood color and I'm going to leave it. The first thing we're want to do is add some wiggly eyes. So I'm going to take my glue, put down a couple of drops and then we carefully lay down our eyes. The next thing we want to do is add a nose, take a very tiny pompom and again add a dot of glue and put the pompom. You want to hold the pompom there a second to make sure it'll stay. Next we're going to tie a gold cord around the antler for some decoration. Next we're going to take a craft safety pin and glue it to the back, so we're going to add some glue and then glue on our safety pin. Another thing we can do is give our reindeer legs if you'd like. We do this by adding some glue to the back of the nose and glue in another pin straight down."
