  • Small paintbrush set (fine tip and medium flat brushes)
  • Googly eyes (optional)
  • Red pom-poms for Rudolph’s nose

  • Small felt pieces in red, green, black, and white for hats and scarves

Instructions

  • Paint each spoon handle and head to match your chosen characters such as white for the snowman, red for Santa, brown for the reindeer, and so on. Let them dry completely.
  • Use smaller brushes to add details like eyes, mouths, and buttons. A fine-tipped brush works best for outlining features.
  • Cut felt into hats, scarves, or collars, then glue them carefully onto the spoons. Add pom-poms, ribbons, or tiny embellishments for extra charm.
  • Attach googly eyes or paint your own expressions to give each character personality.
  • Once dry, display them in a jar, stick them into potted plants, or tie a loop of ribbon around the handles to hang them on your Christmas tree.
