INSTRUCTIONS
Cut brown felt into strips around 2″ high and about 3″ long (make sure it is long enough to wrap around two candy canes). Then, glue two candy canes together, back to back. These are the antlers for your reindeer.
Next, wrap the felt around the candy canes, just under the curved part of the candy cane, and hot glue it to itself, making it fit snugly around the candy canes. The final step is to apply the eyes and red pom-pom nose.
You’ve just created a reindeer! Kids love this simple candy cane reindeer craft that you can do on a Saturday or even at your child’s school party. It is an affordable idea that is perfect for kids of all ages.
