Step-by-step instructions:
- First, paint the clothespins with the red paint and leave them aside on a sheet to dry completely.
- Then stick them on the sheet as shown in the picture.
- Above it, attach the pebbles with the glue to create the heads of the reindeer and draw the eyes with the white paint and the nose with the red paint on them. Make small black dots with the marker in the white eyes.
