Handprint Reindeer Frame Craft Idea For Christmas

Welcome friends! Do you happen to remember the Turkey Handprint Frame I shared the other day, on Glued To My Crafts, right before Thanksgiving?

Well – today’s blog post tutorial “literally” goes hand in hand with it.

I took the same concept of that particular kid craft idea and made a Reindeer Frame in honor of the upcoming Christmas holiday season. Best part – it’s got my son’s crafty touch and of course, those cute little handprints as antlers, are in-cooperated too.

Whether you are looking for an afternoon kid craft or a Christmas keepsake to keep for years to come – this DIY reindeer frame is a MUST-DO this holiday season. It’s super easy and really inexpensive too! What are you waiting for – grab those supplies, check out the tutorial below and get to work!

Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your beautiful and handmade handprint reindeer frames with us on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Reindeer Frame Craft Supplies:

* Large, Unfinished Wood Frame {I buy mine at Michaels!}
* Brown Craft Paint
* Foam Paint Brush
* Small Paper Plate
* Colored Cardstock Paper {red, brown, white}
* Large Paper Circle Punch
* Black Sharpie Marker
* Paper Craft Scissors
* Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun

Directions:

* First have your child paint their wood frame completely brown.
* When done, set aside the painted frame to let it dry completely.
* Now grab your brown cardstock and trace your child’s hands on it.
* Trim out those traced out designs. These will become the antlers for the reindeer.
* Now grab your red cardstock, white cardstock and paper punches.
* Out of both colors, cut/punch out facial embellishments to give the reindeer life {think eyes and a big red nose.}
* Use the black sharpie marker to draw on pupils on the white circle pieces.
* To finish off the handprint reindeer wood frame, hot glue the paper handprint cutouts, red nose and eye cutouts on the frame, in their designated spots.
* Add other embellishments if you like.
* Then display proudly for all to see!
