This particular Toilet Paper Roll Reindeer piece is actually FIVE YEARS OLD! That is just crazy for me even to write.
It’s one of my favorite craft pieces my son and I have made together {you can see the original post sharing it HERE} and I have kept it this long {three houses later!}
Reindeer Made From A Toilet Paper Roll
I like to pull it out every Christmas season and place it on the tree. I just nuzzle it between some branches and it sits nicely there.
Then when the season is over, I wrap it in bubble wrap {yes – you read that right} and store it for safe-keeping.
I don’t know why but it’s just one of my FAVORITE pieces ever. Maybe because it was the easiest for us at that age or maybe I just LOVE those little “antler” hands so much {and it makes me a bit sentimental too!}

THE HOW-TO DIRECTIONS:
If you would like to recreate this reindeer themed craft {and I hope YOU do!} all you need is a clean toilet paper roll {or paper towel roll cut down} some cardstock, a red pom pom, scissors, pencil and of course – some hot glue to secure it all.
Simple cut a piece of darker brown cardstock to wrap around the paper roll. Secure with hot glue.
Grab some lighter shaded brown cardstock and trace your child’s hands on the paper. Trim out.
Cut out some eyes from white cardstock.
Now you are ready to assemble it all. Hot glue the handprint “antler” pieces to the paper roll, followed by the eyes and nose.
Then display proudly for all to see!
