* Brown Pipe Cleaners
* Scissors
* Hot Glue Gun
* Baker’s Twine {for hanging}

Directions:

* For one reindeer ornament you need: 1 cork piece, 2 wiggle eyes, 1 red button, 2 mini clothespins, 2 small pieces of brown pipe cleaner. Set aside those supplies for each ornament you want to make.
* Take two small pieces of pipe cleaner and place one in each of your mini clothespins. Bend them a bit and then attach {or in lamest terms, pinch} those pieces to the cork piece. This is the reindeer’s antlers.
* Once those are in place – hot glue the wiggle eyes and red nose to the cork piece.
* To finish off the reindeer – hot glue some baker’s twine to the back, for easy hanging.
