Paper Bowl Reindeer

We are talking INEXPENSIVE supplies when it comes to this Christmas themed paper bowl Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer craft idea!

I’m known around the internet for being the “paper plate queen” on Glued To My Crafts but I got NEW goals for myself! I’m hoping to tackle paper bowls next! Here’s to making that happen – starting today!

Seriously – inexpensive WHITE paper bowls are the perfect painting canvas {just like a paper plate} and the circular shape will come in handy for so many craft ideas! Not to mention, they are super easy to find at most grocery stores, so you honestly have NO EXCUSE not to pick up a pack {or two} on your next shopping trip!

So what are we waiting for? Keep on scrolling and check out the full tutorial below to see how I made my woodland paper bowl reindeer friend come to life with ease. Then take the time to recreate one with your child and share pictures with us on our Facebook page to see. I can’t wait to see how you make your reindeer craft stand out from the crowd!
