    📝Instructions

    This is meant to be a brief overview of this fun DIY ornament project. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable tutorial with materials, please scroll down to the teal box below.

    Steps 1-2: Measure and using either the floral wire cutters or craft scissors, cut your craft sticks into the following: (4)-2 ½” pieces, (2)-3 ½ cm pieces, and (1)-1 ¾” piece

    Step 3: Paint your smaller pieces one color (be sure to paint the edges) and paint 2 full-size craft sticks, which will be the blades of the sled another color and allow the paint to dry completely.

    Step 4: Glue the (4)-2 ½” pieces together, using either a glue gun or the white school or Tacky glue. Begin by gluing the 2 middle pieces together, joining them together in the middle, and allowing the glue to dry completely. (Do this for each piece(s) you glue onto each other). Glue the next 2 pieces on either side, but measure down 1 cm, so your sled doesn’t go straight across on all 4 pieces (see photo)

    Step 5: Once the 4 main pieces are totally dry, turn over. Measure down 1 ½ cm from the top and glue down one of the 3 ½ cm pieces onto the body of the sled. Measure up ½ cm from the bottom and glue the other 3 ½ cm piece.

    Step 6: Take your 1 ¾” piece and measure in 1 ½ cm on the right side and glue on your blades. We have the tip of our blade measuring out about 1 ½ cm from where we glued it on. Repeat on the other side. Be sure your glue is totally dry, and the blades are on sturdy before moving on to the next step.

    Step 7: Turn the sled over and attach any embellishments or holiday greenery you like.

    Step 8: Cut a length of ribbon or twine approximately 7-8”, form a loop, and tie in a small secure knot at the end. Allow to dry completely.
