This was a homemade ornament we made as a child. The other one I didn't have a picture to, but I can tell you the instructions at the bottom.
Materials:
1. 2 No-roll clothespins (3 3/4")
2. Brown Paint
3. Paintbrush
4. 2" piece of string or ribbon
5. Red pompom
6. 2 little googly eyes
7. Craft Glue or Hot glue gun
Instructions:
1. Holding the 2 clothespins so that one is right-side up and the other is upside down, overlap the top 1" on each clothespin and glue in place as pictured. If you are using craft glue you will need to wait until the glue is completely dry before proceeding.
2. Paint both clothespins brown. Let dry.
3. Glue the eyes and red pompom on the reindeer as pictured for the face.
4. Tie the two ends of the 6" string together in a knot and glue to the back of the reindeer as the hanger.
5. As always put date and name of child that did it on back or bottom!
Clothespin Candle
This one is so easy! You take a clothespin a regular one and paint it bright red. Then take felt and make flames and attach them on the ends of the clothespin. Then you can cut with felt some ivy and berries and place where it pinches on the outside. Then you pinch it on the branch and it is a little tree candle. As a little kid, that was my very favorite ornament!
