This is a great easy craft for younger girls.  I used to make these with my grandmother too, so it’s a great family craft.  You can use these very basic instructions or allow the girls to embellish the reindeer clothespins more with paints, glitter, ribbons, etc.  Super easy and super cheap.

Materials Needed:

• Wood spring clothespins
• #12 flat brush
• Water container
• Palette or plastic plate
• Red mini pom pom
• Small wiggle eyes
• Glue gun
• Glue sticks
• Thick craft glue
• Honey Brown acrylic paint

Directions:

1. Paint wood area of three clothespins Honey Brown.  Let dry.
2. Position two clothespins side-by-side and adhere with glue.
3. Position third clothespin in opposite direction and adhere to small end of double clothespins for reindeer head.
4. Position and adhere eyes and pom pom nose.

Safety Tips!

1. Adults should work with the hot glue gun only.
