Cute Reindeer Frame Ornament!!

Like many of you, I have been going nonstop getting ready for the holidays!! So much fun. So much work.

 

One of my favorite new things I did this year was make reindeer frame ornaments with my kiddos. This was my coworker's amazing idea! Love you, Christy Britt! Thanks for letting me share your geniusness on my blog!!!

 

 

 

To make your own, you need...

 

1. brown paint
2. 4 popsicle sticks {frame}

3. 1 wooden heart {for head}

4. 2 clothespins {legs}

5. 1 red pom pom {for nose}

6. 2 wiggly eyes

7. 2 small gold pipe cleaner pieces {for antlers}

 

I assembled everything using hot glue & then had my sweeties paint it! So cute and easy!!!

 

Day of Silence to Honor and Remember Sandy Hook Elementary

 

 My heart breaks for the Sandy Hook Elementary children, teachers, families, and friends. 

Praying for all the victims in this senseless tragedy!

"The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
