How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make an adorable reindeer, you will need:
- a small kraft paper pouch
- brown pipe cleaners
- eye stickers
- colorful round stickers
- adhesive rhinestones in Christmas colors
- a golden bell
- a wooden log (Ø 8 to 11 cm)
- a pair of scissors and some glue
Step 1
Assemble the pouch and then add some small treats before closing it with a small dot of glue under the flap.
Step 2
Glue a strip of red rhinestones at the top of the pouch and a strip of star rhinestones at the bottom of the pouch.
Step 3
Create the reindeer's face by sticking on 2 adhesive eyes, a round red sticker for the nose, and 2 small round stickers for the cheeks.
Step 4
Fold a brown pipe cleaner in half, twist the two strands together, then separate the ends to form a "Y".
Repeat the same process with another pipe cleaner to create the reindeer's antlers.
Step 5
Attach the 2 caterpillars by threading them through the small opening of the bag.
Step 6
Complete the reindeer's face (eyelashes and mouth) using a black marker.
Step 7
Slide a bell onto a piece of brown chenille approximately 5 cm long, then attach it between the two pieces of the reindeer.
Step 8
Place the reindeer on a small wooden log to create an elegant display stand.
