Christmas reindeer on the window

How about leaving space on the windowsill or under the Christmas tree for sparkling reindeer this year? Their production only takes a few minutes, so you can “graze” a whole flock of them immediately.

A glittering reindeer does not have to serve only as a Christmas decoration but also as an original gift.

• Reindeer template
• a pencil
• scissors
• sheet of white foam for creation
• artificial snow or silver and white sequins
• melt glue gun
• liquid glue
• golden color
• brush
• colored fabric ribbon

Method:

1. Print the Christmas reindeer template according to your desired reindeer size.
2. Redraw all parts of the template onto the foam board.
3. Do not forget to trace some parts several times according to the instructions on the template.
4. Carefully cut out all the parts and glue them together with a hot melt gun.
5. Coat the glued reindeer with liquid glue and wrap it in artificial snow on all sides.
6. If desired, use glitter; the result will be even more effective.
7. Once the snow has dried, paint the reindeer’s hooves gold. Allow to dry again.

• Maundy Thursday
• scissors
• adhesive
• frame

Method

1. Draw a reindeer template on colored paper with a pencil and cut it out.
2. Glue the reindeer to the white quarter and let it dry completely, preferably weighted, so the paper does not curl due to the wet glue.
3. Frame the finished picture.

Instructions for making a glowing reindeer

For the third time, we are using the reindeer head template. This time, we will make a wall decoration that is beautiful during the day and downright dazzling at night.

Arrange the string of lights differently this year and combine Christmas lights and reindeer.

What you will need:

• Reindeer template
• light chain in length according to the size of the template
• wooden or other solid board
• stapler
• a pencil

Method:

1. Re-draw the outline of the reindeer on the board.
2. Place the light chain on the drawn outline so the ends point down.
3. Attach the light chain along the entire outline with a paper clip.

Reindeer gift bag

The Christmas reindeer can also take the form of a gift bag. If you don’t believe it, make it using our instructions and fill it with small gifts.

What you will need:

• brown paper
• dark brown paper
• red pom pom
• self-adhesive eyes
• pencil
• scissors
• adhesive
• ruler

Method:

• cut a brown paper of 8.5 inches X 5 inches. You can choose any size, but make sure the ratio is similar.
• Leaving the 0.5 inches along the longer side, fold the 8-inch part into half.
• Apply glue to the extra 0.5-inch section and fold the glued section to attach it to the other open end of the folded brown paper.
• Fold up 2 inches (of the 5-inch side) from any 1 open end of the paper.
• Open up the folded-up part and nicely flatten the 2 sides evenly. This will form 2 open sides, 1 on the top and 1 on the bottom. Also, notice the line along the middle.
• Fold down the top open end towards the middle line and overlapping the middle line by a cm.
• Now, fold up the bottom side of the open end and overlap the middle line by a cm again. Both sides will overlap each other. Apply glue on the overlapped parts to attach them. This will secure the bottom side of the paper bag.
• Notice the 2 square parts on both sides of the bottom. Using the opposite corners of the squares as a guide, create folds on both sides of the paper bag.
• Now, open up the paper bag from its flattened position.
• Fold in the side middle lines of the paper bag and flatten the bottom side.
• Use scissors to cut a semi-circular shape on the top side of the paper bag. Cut out ear patterns (2 inner ear parts from dark brown paper and 2 outer ear parts from light brown parts) and 2 horn patterns from dark brown paper.
• Attach the horns and ears along the paper bag’s top end (front side).
• Attach the googly eyes and pompom nose to complete the reindeer bag.
• You can use a black Sharpie to draw a smiley face!
• Here you go, the cutest reindeer gift bag!
