This craft is intended for children over 8 years old because it presents a little more difficulty. It is a craft that with the correct instructions to follow the steps and the appropriate materials will look great and you can decorate the home at Christmas. It can be hung on the tree or anywhere else in the house.
Next we are going to explain how you have to do the craft to be able to have your reindeer ball made of cardboard.
What materials do you need to make the craft?
- Yellow or flesh colored cardstock strips (4 equal size strips)
- 2 movable eyes
- A small circle of red card
- Brown or green cardstock
- 1 scissors
- 1 glue stick
How do you have to do the craft
First you must put the strips that you have cut in a cross as you see in the image. Once you have them, you must take the strips that are in a straight line with each other to make circles and stick them with the glue. You will have a round ball.
Then put the movable eyes and glue them as you see in the image. Then put the red nose made of cardboard and also glue it on. Next, draw the reindeer horns on the other cardboard and cut them out. Once you have them, stick them on the head of the reindeer as you see in the image, use the glue stick to get it.
We have not put any type of string to hang it because we will leave it on a shelf for decoration. But in case you want to hang it on the Christmas tree or elsewhere, then you just have to put the rope or the loop on the top of the head, passing it through the top strip and making a soft knot so as not to force the cardboard.
