To make your reindeer's antlers start by folding your brown pipe cleaner in half and wrapping one side around the sharpie.

Now wrap the other side of your pipe cleaner around the sharpie and you have antlers!

Adding Your Antlers

Now press the bottom of your clip together to open it and place the not twisted part of your antlers in the open clip.

Now take the other pipe cleaner (color of your choice) and push the tip through the hole on the bell.

On the clothespin is a nook. Place your pipe cleaner with the bell centered on the clip.

After wrapping twist the pipe cleaner tight on the side so your collar does not fall off.

Eyes!

It's almost done only a few more things to add. Take your glue stick and glue your googly eyes directly under the antlers.

Nose!

Don't forget your nose! Put glue on the pompom and press the pompom on the clothespin glue down under the eyes.

Feet!

Legs!

Almost done this is the last step! Draw a line with your sharpie up the center of your clothes pin on both sides to make his legs.

All Done!
