SILVER PIPE CLEANERS By Melissa McCullough How to Make: 1. Carefully remove the top from the ornament and pour a generous amount of paint inside. Put your thumb over the opening and give the ornament a swirl to coat all the inside with the paint. Drain excess paint into a paper cup. Pop the top back onto the ornament.

2. Next, cut a piece of ribbon to go around the ornament and use hot glue or double-sided tape to secure. (Hot glue guns are VERY hot and should be handled by grown-ups.)
3. Grab one or two google eyes depending on which Minion you’re replicating. (Kevin has two eyes while Stuart only has one peeper!) Use the glue or the tape to pop their eyes over the ribbon.
4. For their goggles, cut lengths of pipe cleaner to go around the eyes. Shape into circles and secure with glue. Give your Minion personality by adding a smile, (or frown), a tuft of hair or teeth. 5. Banana!
