Popsicle Reindeer

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Three popsicle/craft sticks
  • Two wiggle eyes
  • One red or black pom
  • Glue
     

See below.



1. Glue two popsicle sticks together at their ends to form a “V”.

2. Glue the final popsicle stick horizontally across the top of the “V”, letting the ends of the popsicle sticks (all three) stick out approximately one inch to form the antlers.

3. Glue a wiggle eye just under the top horizontal popsicle stick on each side of the “V”.

4. Glue a red or black pom for a nose at the bottom of the “V” where both of the popsicle sticks meet.

5. Put a thin ribbon through the reindeer to create a ornament for the Christmas tree.

Chenille Stem (pipe cleaner) Christmas Tree Ornament

Category: Christmas CraftsJamie @ 2:29 pm

This is a super easy craft for kids! Here’s what you will need:
 
  • 12″ chenille stem (pipe cleaners) 
  • 12 to 18 pony beads (red and white, or multicolor
  • ribbon or wire for hanging the ornament 

1. Slide 12 to 18 pony beads on a chenille stem, being sure to mix the colors.

2. Bend the tree at the bottom forming approximately a 2.5″ base.  Now bend the chenille stem back and forth, making each bend a smaller length than the bend before it until you end with a little curl of chenille stem at the top.

3. Tie a wire or ribbon at the top to hang your ornament.
Enjoy !
