Craft Foam Star Shaped Reindeer Supplies:

• Craft Foam Shapes {affiliate link to similar from Darice}
• Large Paper Plate
• Brown Craft Paint
• Paint Brush
• Brown Cardstock
• Black Cardstock
• Scissors
• School Glue
• Stapler
• Gold Pipe Cleaners
• Small Wiggle Eyes
• Small Red Pom Poms
• Decorative Ribbon

Directions:

• First things first – grab your two cardstock sheets and scissors. Cut out a head and some hooves for your reindeer. You will have a total of ONE piece per star point. One head, four hooves = five paper pieces. Set aside.
• Grab your star shape, paper plate and brown craft paint. Lay the star shape on the plate and paint it completely brown.
• When done painting, go ahead and start gluing your cardstock pieces in place, on the star shape. I suggest starting with the head.
• At this point in time you should also glue down the pom pom nose and wiggle eyes.
• Next, grab the gold pipe cleaner. Bend it in half and alter it a bit to look like antlers.
• Staple the newly made antlers to the star shape.
• Finish off the Reindeer Star Craft by taking a long piece of ribbon, folding it and stapling it to the star shape to look like a scarf on the reindeer.
• Add other embellishments you see fit and display proudly for all to see!

BUT WAIT – THERE’S MORE! If you would like to make this into an ornament for the tree, hole punch the top of the reindeer piece and string some ribbon through it!
