DIY Reindeer Christmas Ornament

We love a good DIY ornament. It’s always fun to pull out the ornament box each year and find handmade goodies from years past. This is such a simple DIY that kids can do it largely on their own (with hot glue gun help).

What you need:

Plastic candy canes

twine or jute

red pom pom

googly eyes

hot glue gun (my kids have just graduated to hot glue gun privileges with supervision and they are SO excited!)

What to do:

Watch the video tutorial below to see how to make the reindeer.

Simply glue the two candy canes together and then wrap with twine so that the bottom is thicker than the top. Glue on the nose and the eyes and your reindeer is ready to adorn your tree!

Have fun with this simple DIY Christmas ornament!
