For one sled ornament, you ‘ll need two 2.5” sticks, two 3” sticks, two 4.5” sticks, three 1.25” sticks, & one 1.75” stick.
Mark the two 4.5” sticks, 0.75” apart, 3 times.
Add wood glue on the 0.75” marks and attach the 1.25” sticks. It will look like a ladder.
After it dries, paint it brown & the 5 remaining pieces red.
Center the two 3” sticks with the three middle sticks. The 2.5” sticks go on the ends. (Add gaps between your sticks.)
Align the straight ends with a spare craft stick.
Glue your pieces. Add the 1.75” stick on the other side of the spare craft stick.
Knot string to the 1.75” stick.
Add white paint to edges (to act as snow) & your sled is done.

For the ski ornament, you’ll need two 3.5” craft sticks and two 3.5” skewers. Sand any rough edges.
Cut 4 square pieces of brown felt (two at 0.75” & two at 0.5”).
Paint the skewers brown.
Poke the skewer through the center of the 0.5” felt and glue it about a 0.5” down. Trim the corners to create a circle & repeat this with the other skewer.
Roll & glue the 0.75” felt to the other end.
Paint the craft sticks red and add snowflakes.
Add glue to the center of the sticks & create an x. Repeat this with the skewers.
Tie string around the middle of the sticks & skewers. Then, add a bow.
Glue string to the top (backs) of the sticks, & your ski ornament is done.
