I'm having so much fun designing and making these stick ornaments. I'm trying to keep them simple, but with details. We will be spending Christmas in Cabo, this year. With that in mind, we will not be having a traditional Christmas Tree, because with that comes all the trimmings, the expense, then what to do with all you have acquired........ Well at least we'll have 3 ornaments.

5 Strip paper off twist tie to expose wire inside. Using
small stick (I used end of paint brush), leave small length of wire and wrap
once, leave very small amount of wire and wrap around stick, again, making
small pair of glasses. Using a
toothpick, glue wire where it doubles in the wrap to ensure strength. Set aside.
6 Glue hatband on hat, fold over and glue, then glue pom pom
to tip of hat.
7 Glue on hat, beard,
make sure the mouth hole goes over the red spot on face, glue on shoes. Using a
scissors, scrap a line down the middle of shoes to make it look like two
shoes. Paint black line for legs.
8 Adjust glasses on face, glue on sides of stick, dry, then secure
on back of stick by gluing both wire
ends to stick.
9 Crumple brown paper to make a bag, tie with ribbon at top
of bag. Glue mittens to arms, then glue arms
onto stick.
10 Glue paper bag to back of stick, pull right arm around to
the back of stick to hold top of bag, and left arm around to hold bag in the
front of stick. Glue arms in place.
11 Cut and tie small ribbon, glue to back of stick.
