Directions:

First things first – print out the ornament printable listed above, on your choice of colored cardstock paper. You only need ONE ornament shape per snail craft.
Trim out the bulb shape with scissors
Decorate the ornament shape however YOU like with your embellishments. Make it sparkle and shine for your snail friend!
When done decorating the bulb, set it aside till later.
Now grab your second sheet of cardstock paper {and your leftover piece} and the scissors again.
Cut out a simple hot dog shape out of the cardstock for his body.
Go ahead and also cut out TWO antennas for on his head.
Next adhere some wiggle eyes and draw on a smile with the Sharpie marker, on the larger cardstock piece.
Finally, to finish off the Christmas Light Bulb Snail project, staple or glue the snail’s cardstock body to the decorated ornament from the first step.
Follow that up by adhering the antennas in place as well.
The last step is to bend, tie and staple the pipe cleaner in place, so you can hang it on the tree nicely.
Then allow it to dry completely before you display it proudly for all to see!
