| Materials:
- Brown pipecleaner
- 5mm or 7mm red pompom
- 10mm silver or gold bell
- 1/8" Wide ribbon in holiday colors
- C7 Christmas bulb or night light bulb*
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- 7 mm googly eyes
*I
was able to find a couple of boxes of light bulb
garland at a yard sale. Each light bulb,
when taken off the string, already had a hanger
on it so for those reindeer, I was able to omit
the step where you attach the ribbon hanger.
1) Cut a 6" length of thin ribbon as a hanger
for your ornament. Holding your light bulb
bulb side down and using hot glue, glue the two
ends of the ribbon together just below the
screw portion of your bulb.
2) Cut an 8" piece of ribbon. Tie it in
a bow and glue it on top of the ribbon ends you
already glued on.
3) Bend a 6" piece of brown pipecleaner as
pictured, then hot glue the center of it
on top of the ribbon bow and glue a bell on top
of that.
4) Finally, glue on the googly eyes and a
pompom nose as pictured.
Option: If you want colored bulbs but
only have clear ones, spray paint the bulbs.
Before painting the bulbs, cover the screw
portion with masking tape to keep the paint off
it.
