Not sure what to do with your freetime and extra Tootsie Pops? Try this:
Things you will need:

• scissors
• hot glue gun
• pompom, small (red)
• google eyes (1/4 in.)
• Tootsie pop
• pipe cleaners (brown and metallic gold)
• jingle bell (1/2 in.)
  1. Antlers: Cut a 7" piece of brown pipe cleaner. Fold in half. Cut two 1.25" pieces of brown pipe cleaner. Wrap a short piece of pipe cleaner around each side of the longer piece, about 1" down from the ends.
  2. Glue the base of the ‘antlers’ to the bottom of the Tootsie Pop. Bend the ‘antlers’ so that they follow the curve of the Pop. Glue ‘antlers’ again at the top of the ‘head’.
  3. Cut a 3" piece of gold pipe cleaner. Thread the bell on to the pipe cleaner. Wrap around the base of the Tootsie Pop. Twist ends to secure.
  4. Glue ‘eyes’ and ‘nose’ onto the reindeer’s ‘face’.

NOTE: Other than needing to remove the Metallic pipe cleaner, everything will come off with the wrapper. Making this a great treat for even the youngest child!
