The Finished Wood Craft Mrs Claus Ornament
To finish Mrs. Claus, first make a loop of ribbon about 3 inches long.
Thread the loop through a hole in the flower pot and the small wood ball
as shown. Tie a knot in the ribbon and glue the knot inside the flower pot.
Glue the flower pot to Mrs. Claus head as a hat and paint.
Paint a face on Mrs. Claus. You can use felt tip pen, small paint brushes,
or even toothpicks for the fine detail.
Glue curly chenille to Mrs. Claus head for beautiful hair.
Make a collar out of some white chenille.
Also glue some white chenille down the front of Mrs. Claus, and around
the top of the doll pin stand.
Glue on a couple of arms made of red bump chenille.
If you use the gingerbread men, simply glue the toothpick to the bump
chenille hands.
