Crinkle Paper Reindeer Craft

Are you throwing a children’s Christmas party soon? Maybe you are hosting a family get together in your home this year? Well then – today’s Crinkle Paper Reindeer kid craft idea is going to the EASIEST art project you can throw on the table to entertain the littlest party goers at your event!

All you need is some brown shredded paper, sandwich baggies, cardstock and a little creativity to make your stuffed Rudolph friends come to life.

Keep scrolling for the full how-to tutorial and recreate your own paper reindeer friend today!

Crinkle Paper Reindeer - Christmas Kid Craft Idea

This is the easiest Christmas craft idea that you will find. All you need is some crinkle paper and a few minutes to put this together. Your kids will love it!

I know the holidays can be stressful. On your budget, your sanity and even order in your home! With that being said, you probably have put ANY craft time with the kids off the table because you just don’t need another stress-or on your to-do list.

But friends – what if you told you that today’s crinkle paper reindeer craft idea is NEARLY on the free spectrum AND it only has about THREE simple steps to it. Would that get you super excited?! Plus our latest craft idea is great for a holiday party activity, a snowy day you spend indoors, or even just something you do because it’s CHRISTMAS!

Many of us already have plastic sandwich bags in our pantry right now and with one quick trip to the local dollar store for some brown, shredded crinkle paper {aka – what makes the reindeer’s head take shape} you will be well on your way to pulling this idea together in no time. Just stuff the bag with your paper materials and customize the front to make your red nosed friend come to life within minutes!

So my dear friends, why not up-cycle a few handfuls of that “messy” paper that you will probably “stuff” into your holiday gifts this year and make some awesome reindeer paper pieces to show off instead?! It’s perfect for ALL AGES so even adults can join in on the fun, as well!

Enough chit chat from me, you can find all the crafty details below in our simple tutorial!

Happy crafting my dear friends and may your afternoon be extra creative with the help of Glued To My Crafts! Don’t forget to share pictures with us of your crinkle paper stuffed reindeer friends on your social media sites, like our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

Crinkle Paper Stuffed Reindeer

This is the easiest Christmas craft idea that you will find. It is perfect for entertaining little ones. All you need is some crinkle paper, googly eyes and some glue. They will love making these adorable reindeer!

Craft Supplies:

  • Sandwich Baggie {the ziplock kind – one per reindeer craft}
  • Brown Shredded Crinkle Paper {a handful per reindeer craft}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Scissors
  • Black Sharpie Marker
  • Large Glue Dots

Directions:

  • First things first – grab ONE sandwich baggie and your brown colored crinkle paper.
  • Open up the baggie – nice and wide!
  • Stuff the sandwich baggie with the brown shredded paper. Just a handful inside the bag until it’s full.
  • Now seal off your baggie at the top.
  • Set it aside.
  • Grab your white cardstock paper and craft scissors.

  • Customize It – instead of using crinkle paper, think of other ways you can “fill” up your baggie. Grab large craft pom poms, dark colored leaves from outside, fabric scraps – let those creative juices soar as you make your own reindeer friend come to life!
