- Use scissors to cut the brown pipe cleaners into 2-inch pieces. Twist the pieces together to create legs and feet for your turtle doves. Use a straight stitch to tightly attach the leg to the body of the turtle dove.
- Repeat each step to create your second turtle dove. Pull ribbon through the top of the completed ornament and tie with a bow.
