Recycled Reindeer

Materials (for one reindeer):
- You may find these materials at Wal-mart in the arts and crafts section or any crafts stores, such as Michael's.
   1 rinsed and crushed, as in flat, soda can
   1 pipe cleaner for antlers
   2 googly eyes
   1 small, red pom pom for nose
   1 permanent marker to draw a mouth
   1 glue gun, as well as glue gun sticks
   fishing line (optional)

- Gather all materials.

- Plug in the glue gun in a safe place so it can warm up.

- Turn the crushed can so that the side from where you drink is face down. In other words, the hole and coke tab will not be seen.

- Glue two eyes to the side facing up. Glue the nose in the center.

- Use the permanent marker to draw a mouth.

- Bend the pipe cleaner to a desired shape for the antlers.

- Glue the pipe cleaner to the side currently facing down so that it gives the look you want on the OTHER side.

- If you want to turn this into an ornament for your christmas tree, then cut about 8 inches of fishing line. Loop this into the coke tab, or glue the string onto the side of the can that will not be seen. Tie the two ends of the fishing line together using about 4 or 5 knots or until the knots do not come loose.
