Reindeer Ornament
This cute reindeer ornament is wonderful for children to make.
This makes a great school craft.
The
popsicle sticks can be bought in bulk and are very cheap. The
only other things needed are some felt, foam board, or construction
paper, a pair of googly eyes, and some red pom-poms! Each
ornament can be marked with the child's name and year if desired.  Things Needed: (If you have trouble finding certain items at your local craft store, check out the blue links below... they take you directly to the item product page for easy shopping!)
1. Begin the reindeer ornament by placing a drop of glue on one end of the craft stick and add another one top of it, in a V-shape. Then, glue one craft stick perpendicular to the V shape, about an inch from the ends. See photo below for help.   2. Next, glue on the large red pom-pom to the end point of the triangle, to be the nose. Glue the googly eyes some black felt. When they are dry cut them out, leaving a black border around each eye. Then glue the eyes to the reindeer head.  3. Print out the holly
template by clicking here
or on the image below (a new window will open, Adobe Reader is
required) or just draw the holly free-hand. Fold a piece of green felt
in thirds, so you only have to cut out the pattern once to get three
holly leaves. Cut around the pattern carefully.   4. Glue on the leaves to the top craft stick at the side, and glue the three little red pom-pom glues in the middle. Add a cord for hanging in the middle, and add on the child's name in black marker if you wish.
