Cork Reindeer
These are fun and easy to make reindeers ornaments. Be creative and use small accessories or materials you have around home to decorate them.
Supplies:
-
5 cylinder wine corks or hobby corks (same size and shape)
-
Twine or elastic for the holder
-
Accessories such as feathers, pompoms, pipe cleaner, ribbons for a bow, and/or glitter foam for cut outs
Tools:
-
Scissors, glue gun, pen or pencil, and ruler
-
This activity uses glue guns which are extremely hot. Parent supervision is recommended.
Directions:
-
Glue two corks end to end, and then glue one cork on top of them facing this cork out towards you as the head. Then glue on a cork for the torso and the other leg.
-
Next cut a string or thin ribbon 5” long so you can loop it around and glue it to the back of the Reindeer's head. This will be used to hang your ornament.
-
Next wrap pipe cleaners around a pen to create a curl. Cut 3-4 different sizes for your antlers. Or you can skip curling and just cut the piper cleaner and bend it to shape.
-
Glue the antlers to the back of the Reindeer's head.
-
Now we cover the backside of the Reindeer's head full of feathers or evergreen trimmings for a background to cover.
-
Next, hot glue on the eyes and pom-poms for a nose and tail.
-
To finish you reindeer in style, make a bow. Your reindeer is now ready to be displayed.
