How To Make Pinecone Reindeer Ornaments
If your kids are anything like mine they’ll end up making a whole herd of pinecone reindeer! They loved them so much, they made loads!
We ended up with little pinecone reindeer hanging on our Christmas tree, our door knobs and window catches and even on our bathroom towel hooks too! Needless to say, this easy pinecone reindeer craft was a huge hit with my kids.
Reindeer Craft Supplies:
- Pinecones
- Ribbon or thread for hanging
- Plaid Fabric Squares
- Googly Eyes
- Sparkly Pipe Cleaners
- Glitter Pom-Poms
- UHU Glue
These Pinecone Reindeer Are Such Easy Christmas Ornaments To Make!
1 – First of all we cut a bit of ribbon and glued it on to the bottom of the pinecone to make a hoop for hanging the finished reindeer onto the Christmas tree. (I love using UHU glue for projects like this because it dries clear and really quickly too.)
2 – Next, we twisted the pipe cleaners into the shape of antlers. You can make these as big or small as you like. My boys opted for little antlers because they thought they were ‘sweeter’!
3 – Then we cut some little plaid fabric shapes to make the reindeer’s ears. We used pinking shears to help stop them fraying.
4 – To finish off the Reindeer’s ears we glued along the flat edge and pinched it together to give it a more realistic shape.
5 – Then it’s just a case of choosing your wiggle eyes size and your red nose and sticking them on!
We made quite a few different Pinecone Reindeer ornaments and each one seemed to have its own personality! The boys named the button nosed reindeer Oink instead of Rudolf! His little button does look a bit snouty doesn’t it!
If you’re like me and love all things reindeer then you’ll also adore our printable Reindeer Antlers. Just print them out and the whole family can enjoy being little festive reindeer!
