Sled Ornament
This sled ornament is the perfect Christmas craft
for a child or an adult to make. These tend to sell well at
craft bazaars too, especially is you offer to personalize the sled
ornaments with a person's name. All that is needed is some
wooden
craft sticks, paint, and some glue. Felt is used for an
embellishment and a cord is added for hanging. This little
sled looks adorable hanging on the tree.  Things Needed:
1. Begin
by painting five of the large craft sticks red.
You will need to paint both sides, so you will have to let
one side dry, then do the other. Also
paint the small wooden craft stick red on both sides. Paint the last
two wooden craft sticks black on both sides.   2. Next, assemble the five large wooden craft sticks in a shape that resembles a sled, as shown below. Apply a thin amount of glue to the side of each craft stick to glue them all together side by side, then glue the small wooden craft stick perpendicular across the top of all of them to secure.   3. Next we want to add the blades to the sleigh. Glue the two black sticks to the bottom of the sled, lengthwise so they are standing up like the sled's blades, as shown.  4. To add some holly to
the sled, cut out some holly leaves from some green felt or green foam
board, and glue them on the top of the sled.   5. Next, add a few drops of glue to the top of the leaves, near the corner, and place three red sequins on top of the glue to be the holly berries.  6. Tie a small length of
cord to the sled ornament. You can tie each end around the
small craft stick that acts as the cross support. Keep the
knot in the back of the ornament for a neater look, and secure the knot
with a drop of glue on top of it when you are finished.  7. You can personalize
the sled ornament with your name, or the name of the child who made it.
Just make sure to use a black permanent marker like a Sharpie.
