  8. Cut a 1/4 inch piece of fur fabric for each ear and glue on the other two ends at the top which are the ears. Tie on a piece of ribbon to hang your ornament with.

Turn the lightbulb so that the glass bulb is pointing down.

Hot glue the red pom-pom nose on the tip of the bulb.

Glue the wiggly eyes above the nose on the widest part of the bulb.

Cut the pipe cleaner in half. Twist the pipe cleaners around the metal

part of the bulb. Make them look like antlers. Tie a bow out of the twine and

glue it between the antlers. Finally, make a loop from the twine, to hang the ornament from,

and glue it to the back.
