PAIR YOUR STAR SHAPED REINDEER CRAFT WITH —> DIY Wood Santa Star Ornament – Christmas Kid Craft Idea
Craft Foam Star Shaped Reindeer Supplies:
- Craft Foam Shapes – one per craft {affiliate link to similar on Amazon from Darice}
- Large Paper Plate
- Brown Craft Paint
- Large Foam Paint Brush
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Basic Paper Craft Scissors
- School Glue
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
- Gold Pipe Cleaners – one per craft
- Small Wiggle Eyes – two per craft
- Small Red Pom Poms – one per craft

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!
