So if you are looking for an idea outside the traditional, as well as something that the kids will love, I’m proud to say today’s Paper Plate Rudolph Car tutorial is just what you are looking for this Christmas season!!
A few weeks ago I found these foam “clown noses” in the Christmas aisles of Hobby Lobby. Although I had no real idea on what I was going to do with them, in the cart they went.
And boy am I glad I’m grabbed them. With the premade slit in the clown noses, it was the perfect embellishment to slip on a paper plate half and make a “Rudolph” red nose reindeer car come to life within minutes!
The full tutorial is below and I hope you love it as much as I do! Happy crafting and don’t forget to share this tutorial with your friends and family too! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
- First things first – cut your LARGE paper plate in half. You only need ONE paper plate half per Rudolph car.
- Next up – paint the paper plate half completely brown with a paint brush. Set aside your painted piece to let it dry completely.
- Now it’s time for making the paper embellishments! Grab all your paper, scissors and pencil.
- Cut out circular wheels, a window etc. for your car.
- Once the paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out, it’s time to start assembling your reindeer car.
- Glue/staple the cardstock embellishments in place on the paper plate.
- Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on a simple eye in the cardstock window.
- Fold your gold pipe cleaner in half and staple it to the paper plate for antlers.
