We made this sweet reindeer ornament a few weeks ago. Everyone who has seen it has thought it was super cute, so I figured I would share it with all of you. Christmas time is a fun opportunity for little craft projects and handmade ornaments with kids. This reindeer ornament started in my recycling bin and came to life with a few little additions!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Ornament
Since I never planned to write about this reindeer ornament, I do not have step by step photos. However, it is so easy, I bet you can get the gist of it from the picture and my step by step photos. I am not the most craftiest person, but I am pretty proud of my reindeer ornament. Although my son helped me in the design, I did use a hot glue gun.
