How to make it
To make each one, first coat a
wooden craft spoon with acrylic
paint. Paint a patch of the same
shade onto a piece of white
card stock and let the paints dry.
Cut a 1⁄2-inch square from the
card stock, then cut the square
in half diagonally and glue the
2 triangles to the top of the
spoon for ears. For a tail
curl a 6-inch piece of pipe
cleaner and glue it to the back
of the spoon. Glue on black seed
beads for eyes and draw a face
with a fine-point permanent marker
Add a holly collar by twisting
two or three 1-inch squares of
green tissue paper around the
tip of a pencil, then glue them
in place, adding a few tiny
red beads or glitter for berries
Glue on more beads for buttons
Make a hanger by tying a piece
of string into a loop and gluing
the knot to the back of the
spoon. Let all the glue dry
completely before hanging
