Pine Cone Reindeer
Materials:
- Small or medium sized pine cone
- 4 brown pipe cleaners
- Google eyes (you could also use small white paper circles)
- Red or pink pom pom (you could also use a crumpled up piece of construction paper)
Directions:
- The reindeer's body is the pine cone placed sideways.
- The smallest end of the pine cone is the face.
- Wrap the pipe cleaner around the pine cone and twist into legs.
- Bend the bottom half of the "legs" so that it makes feet.
- Repeat the process around the back end of the pine cone.
- To make the antlers wrap your last pipe cleaner around the front of the pine cone.
- Twist it like a twist tie at the top of the pine cone.
- Spread the antlers apart like a TV antenna.
- Fold the ends of the pipe cleaner to make antlers.
- Twist or glue on additional pieces of pipe cleaner if needed to finish the antlers.
- Glue on your eyes and nose and your reindeer is complete!
