THIS REINDEER’S SCARF HOLDS A VERY SPECIAL MEMORY OF ME.
FOR WHEN YOU UNWRAP IT, IT WILL BE THE SIZE I USED TO BE!
Craft Supplies & Directions:
- To recreate this reindeer child height ornament – simply download our FREE PRINTABLE and print it in color on some white cardstock paper.
- Trim out the gift tag{s} from the printable. Have kids fill in the blank on the tag. Laminate it if desired.
- Now take one WAVY wood craft stick and decorate one side to look like a reindeer. Pull out the googly eyes, red button noses and pipe cleaners for antlers – whatever you might have on hand to bring them to life. Just keep in mind to remind children that they need to leave room for the scarf element in the center.
- When they are done decorating the craft stick, take some THIN craft ribbon and measure your child with it from head to toe. Using scissors, trim down the ribbon {or craft yarn} to the same exact height of them your child.
- Now take that very ribbon and wrap it around the decorated stick, to make the reindeer’s winter scarf. You can either tie it so doesn’t come loose {but parents can still remove it if they choose} or go ahead and hot glue it in place for safe keeping.
- The last step is to hot glue the gift tag to the front or back of the decorated piece. At this point in time you should also hot glue a small piece of looped ribbon to the back, for easy hanging on the tree.
- And that’s it! Then display and/or gift away or reindeer keepsake ornament!
