Clothespin Reindeer Ornaments are a fun and easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for kids or adults.

Clothespin reindeer Christmas ornaments

Reindeer and Christmas go hand-in-hand, which is why I love making reindeer Christmas crafts. Our wood slice reindeer ornaments and popsicle stick reindeer ornaments came out so cute that I wanted to make more reindeer ornaments this year.

There is something about clothespins crafts that I just love. And these cute little Rudolph clothespin Christmas ornaments are no exception.

We used red pom-poms to make our ornament look like Rudolph the red nose reindeer, but you could use brown pom poms instead to make the ornaments look like Santa’s other reindeer. Or use brown pom poms for all but 1 ornament, making that one ornament Rudolph!

This reindeer clothespin craft is easy enough or kids to make, although younger children may require some adult assistance.

It would also be a great craft to make in bulk for a holiday craft fair. Everyone will love the cute clothespin reindeer!

How to Make Clothespin Reindeer Christmas Ornaments

Rudolph clothespin ornament supplies

First things first. Gather your supplies.

For this holiday craft, you will need: a clothespin, a red pompom, googly eyes, a brown pipe cleaner, twine or ribbon for hanging, and glue.


While I would recommend using a low-temp hot glue gun for this project, you could use regular glue instead. It will just take longer to dry.

If you do go the regular glue route, I would suggest waiting for the glue to dry from gluing on the eyes and nose before turning the ornament over to glue the antlers on the back.

Happy Christmas crafting!
