Reindeer Clothespin Ornaments For The Tree

Reindeer Ornaments For The Tree

A little back story on today’s reindeer ornament craft idea. Last year this time-frame, I was walking through our local thrift shop when I came across a big bag of wood clothespins for only .75 cents.

After staring at them for a good few minutes {I probably looked crazy at this point} it finally dawned on me what they looked like! REINDEER! So for .75 cents, I couldn’t complain and tossed them in the cart with HIGH hopes of using them that very same day.

Well… little did I know that life would get busy and they actually ended up in a black hole in my craft room. Yup. Like so many crafters out there… my idea was just an idea, with little to no action afterwards. I honestly didn’t realize I still had them, until I was digging for supplies for another Christmas project last week.

So after recently discovering the forgotten wooden pins and feeling a little bit guilty that I never completed my originally idea, I pulled them out and set a goal to finally do what I had set out to do in the first palce!

And that’s where we are today! This past weekend, after “coaxing” my husband to craft with my son and I on the kitchen table, we had some Rudolph red nosed ornaments for our Christmas tree that I absolutely love. It only took some paint, glue and glitter. Easy peasy like I always like it!
