Craft Project: Rigatoni Reindeer Ornament or Pin

Rigatoni Reindeer Ornament or Pin

This is a good craft for the kiddies. They will need a little help with the hot glue gun, or you could substitute thick Tacky Glue. They can make it to hang on the tree or as a lapel pin.

Approximate Time

Supplies:

1 piece rigatoni*, uncooked
1-12 inch brown chenille stem
1 small red bead for the nose
a pair of tiny wiggly eyes. Fig 1 Fig 2
10 or 12 inches of red 1/4 inch ribbon
Hot glue gun and glue
Brown acrylic paint and a small paint brush

*Rigatoni is a pasta found where you buy spaghetti.

Instructions:

Paint rigatoni with brown acrylic paint. Let dry thoroughly. Cut the brown chenille stem into 3-4 inch pieces. Bend one into a V and each of the others into an oval shape. Glue them to the rigatoni using Fig. 2 above as a guide. Cut the red ribbon in half and glue one piece in place for a hanger, and tie the other piece in a bow and glue top front of pasta. Glue on 2 tiny wiggly eyes and the red bead for the nose. Or you could leave the hanger ribbon off and glue a pin back to the backside and wear it on your lapel.
