How Do You Make A Clothespin Toy Soldier Wreath?
Many people have at least one clothespin soldier on their Christmas tree. Give this classic Christmas ornament the spotlight this year by placing him and his regiment on a wreath on your door during the holiday season. This wreath is simple to make and is a great family project–you will all see the fruits of your efforts on one beautiful piece for your door. Paint the bottom half of the peg black, the middle red and the round top the peach or light brown color. The black part should end slightly above the split in the peg and will be his legs. The red part is his body, and the peach or light brown part will be his head. When the paint has dried, you can move on. Use the black paint to give them small black buttons and dot eyes and smiling mouths, and the red paint to give them rosy cheeks. Glue small, oval scraps of black felt to the sides of the pegs. These are the soldiers’ arms. Glue the tiny red pompoms to the tops of the black pompoms, and the black pompoms to the soldier’s heads
