How to make this craft step-by-step:
Etape 1.
To make a Christmas reindeer ball, you will need:
- a transparent plastic ball Ø 8 cm
- brown acrylic paint and a paintbrush
- 2 brown pipe cleaners, 30 cm long
- a red pom-pom
- 2 mobile eyes Ø 2.5 cm
- a glue gun
Etape 2.
Open the plastic ball in half and then paint the interior with brown acrylic paint.
Then allow the paint to dry for about 45 minutes before assembling the two halves together.
Etape 3.
Shape the reindeer's antlers using two 30 cm brown chenille sticks.
The first chenille stick will form the base of the antlers.
The second chenille stick, cut into small pieces, will be used to create the "extensions" of the reindeer's antlers.
Etape 4.
Glue the caterpillars onto the attachment of the plastic ball using a glue gun.
Etape 5.
Glue the silver cap above the plastic attachment using the hot glue gun as well.
Etape 6.
Using the glue gun, attach 2 movable eyes with a diameter of 2.5 cm and a large red pom-pom to the plastic ball to bring your reindeer to life.
Etape 7.
Attach the gold cord to the silver cap so you can hang your reindeer.
