Craft Supplies:
- Candy Cane Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Crayons, Markers or Coloring Pencils
- Scissors
- Single Hole Punch
- Brown Pipe Cleaners
- Large Googly Eyes
- School Glue
Directions:
- First grab and print outthe FREE CANDY CANE PRINTABLE. ONE print gives you TWO opportunities to do this reindeer craft.
- Next go ahead and color in the two candy cane designs on the paper. I HIGHLY suggest making the tip of the candy cane red {for the reindeer nose} and building from there.
- When done coloring, it’s time to cut them out and discard the excess paper.
- We are heading towards the last few steps. Grab your TWO brown pipe cleaners and hole punch.
- Punch a hole in the top of your decorated paper candy canes.
- Thread the pipe cleaners through the hole, so you can twist and tie it for the reindeer antlers.
- The final step is gluing on the wiggle eyes so they can see and guide Santa’s sleighs on the big night!
- At this point in time you can add any other embellishments you see fit.
- Then when you are ready, carefully lay the pipe cleaner antlers on a tree branch, so the reindeer hangs nicely.
