Dog-Bone Reindeer Ornament
To make a reindeer ornament to hang on your tree or to decorate a package, you will need: a 6″ (15 cm) piece of rusty-brown chenille stick, glue, a small bone-shaped dog biscuit, two 8″ (20 cm) lengths of narrow ribbon or thread, two small wiggle eyes, and a 3/8″ (1 cm) red pom-pom.
-
For antlers, bend the chenille stick in half and glue the bent part 1″ (2.5 cm) below the top of the bone.
-
Take one piece of ribbon or thread, form a loop for hanging, and glue the ends on the back of the antlers near the bottom; let dry.
-
Turn the bone over with the antlers at the top. Tie the remaining piece of ribbon or thread into a bow, trim the ends, and glue near the top of the bone (see illustration).
-
Look at the picture, then glue on the wiggle eyes and pom-pom nose; let dry.
