- 2 googly eyes
- 1 red pom pom
- glue
- (optional) brown paint and/or red ribbon

1. Glue 2 clothespins on top of each other to form the body.
2. Glue the third clothespin upside down on top of the other two to form the head and antlers.
3. Glue the googly eyes and pom pom on the top clothespin to make the eyes and nose.
4. (Optional) Tie a red ribbon around the reindeer to turn it into a Christmas tree ornament.
