    Instructions<\/h4>\n

    1. Glue one craft ball onto a clothespin.\u00a0<\/strong>You will want to glue the ball onto the part of the clothespin you would squeeze. This way you can use the other end to hold a gift tag if needed.<\/p>\n

    2. Cut out some felt for baby Jesus’ blanket. <\/strong>You choose how long you want the blanket to come down on the clothespin. You will want to be able to wrap the felt around the clothespin 3-4 times.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I turned my clothespin baby Jesus craft into a cute gift topper. It’s a great way to show the ones I love why we celebrate this season. The gift tag ribbon attached nicely to the clothespin. This craft would make an adorable Christmas ornament, and can be used in a variety of ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
