This project is great for creating manger figures for the Christmas season.

You will need:
Wooden beads for heads, size will depend on spool sizes
Empty thread spools
Acrylic paints
Hot glue gun/glue sticks
Yarn scraps or string
Felt scraps

First, paint facial features on heads.
Paint character design on spools, i.e. clown, soldier, elves, wise men, etc.
Allow paint to dry completely.
Glue head to spool top.
Glue scraps of yarn on head for hair, or you may use string.
Cut hands, feet and hats from felt scraps and glue in place.
