How to
Make a Wooden Christmas Crafts Ornament
|
| Step 1 |
Take
a full pipe cleaner and bend in half (but don't cut it).
|
| Step 2 |
From
the folded end, thread on one oblong shaped wooden bead about half way
down.
|
| Step 3 |
Now take
1/2 a pipe cleaner and twist it in
the middle just above the wooden bead to form two arms. |
| Step 4 |
Now thread
on a small round wooden bead
from the folded end for
the toy soldier's head. Add another oblong wooden bead for
the hat, leaving enough of the folded pipe cleaner to thread string or
ribbon for hanging on your tree.
|
| Step 5 |
Now to
create the arms, simply thread on
two oblong shaped wooden beads and bend the pipe cleaner back to hold
in place.
|
| Step 6 |
To make
the toy soldier's legs, take the
pipe cleaner that is hanging out from the bottom of the body and spread
these two ends apart.
|
| Step 7 |
Thread on
each leg a small wooden round bead, an oblong bead and finish
with another round bead. Bend back the pipe cleaner to hold
in place.

If you want to add a bit more to this beaded Christmas
ornaments you can paint on some eyes, mouth and nose. You can even cut
out a small felt hat to glue to the top of the head. We like to leave
them just
as they are as this gives it a more rustic old fashioned look to the
Christmas tree.
In addition to this wooden Christmas crafts
ornament, try this wooden beaded reindeer. You can use the
reindeer as
an ornament or a table top Christmas decoration.
